In this post, I share how I traveled the day before Thanksgiving to Milwaukee for $42.50. My blog is not about where you should travel. I reveal my travel experiences based on personal preferences, but you may do things differently. Where can I go on my day off before Thanksgiving?
How did I travel through Portland solo? I use several credit cards to pay for my vacations based on points I accumulate with airline and hotel rewards programs. For this trip, I booked the hotel on my Amex Hilton Honors. I charged the flight to my Southwest Rapid Rewards card.
I will share 6 ways I use my Amex Platinum card to travel. I want to help you understand why I carry the Platinum card. My relationship with Amex started in 2001, and we are still together in 2025. I started with green, moved to gold, then moved to platinum.
LSKTravelz! I can travel solo. I travel with Kim or Lynn, and we take trips together. Of course, I travel with friends. My international flights include Cabo, Cancun, Jamaica, and Spain. Kim has traveled to Belize. Lynn traveled to Thailand and crossed the pond to see the Chicago Bears play.
