When I travel to Bourbon City, I stop by the Visitor’s Center at the airport first, and then I call for a shuttle or rideshare. Grab a Louisville pen or sticker. Sample Bourbon Balls and Modjeska. Pick up a card for 25% off to use at the Downtown Louisville location.
Visit the coastal town of Ballito. I want to wind down my 30-year career as an educator in South Africa. I saw an advertisement for Build the Future in my FB feed. Although my expertise is not in elementary education, I wanted to be of service to this nonprofit organization.
I woke up one morning and mapped out my solo road trip to Canton, Ohio. Although I was going to Hershey, Pennsylvania, I stopped in Canton to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I packed a small suitcase, loaded a cooler, and stayed on the road for six hours.
Consider Los Cabos as your next hottest destination. I am visiting Los Cabos for the fourth time in four years. During each visit, I find something new to experience. If you want to be near local shops and restaurants, book your stay at Cabo Azul. I stayed here in 2023.
Welcome to the Birthplace of a Nation. I travel to Virginia Beach occasionally but attended an event in Norfolk for the Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday Weekend. However, I found a deal on an HGV Max property and drove to Williamsburg to stay at the Historic Powhatan Hilton Vacation Club.
Do you want to explore the history of NASCAR? I drove to Midway Airport and parked in the Economy Lot. Uber wanted $31 for a one-way trip, but I could park in the garage for $30 for two days. I still had to get home when I returned from Charlotte.
Extend your stay in Arizona to visit Sedona. Kim and I were looking forward to getting away from daily triple-digit numbers in Scottsdale. Of course, we drove to Sedona on Wednesday morning to avoid the congestion on the weekend. Because of the discounted rate, I only used 880 Club Points.
My timeshare offered a deal on a property away from the Strip in Vegas. I could not pass up the opportunity to use 75% fewer Club Points. Although reviews for this property were less than favorable, a one-bedroom was available for 594 Club Points. What did I have to lose?
Where can you book a flight under $100? Southwest Airlines. It also depends on the airport. My preference is Midway. I last visited Detroit to see K’Jon perform. Before that, I was in the Motor City for a friend’s wedding. Now, I am back in Detroit for a quick trip.
I had an opportunity to be part of the Five College Tour Fly-In. Even though my students typically apply to institutions in Illinois, I want to provide opportunities outside the state. I hope several students take advantage of the information I share about my Five College Consortium experience in Massachusetts.
