Cruise - Western Caribbean. We feel that the cruise line is doing a lot to keep us safe and to keep us healthy that we decided we still want to go and enjoy ourselves and to create memories. We ended up buying gift cards to pay for the cruise which saved us 10% each time we bought them and by the time we paid our last deposit we ended up saving close to $350. It might not be a lot, but we love saving here and there and by saving $350 we can use that for flights, hotels and excursions.

Will take a road trip to the Napa wine country for a nice get-away. AARP rewards come in handy for purchasing e-gift cards for dining and gas discounts during our trip.

Forty five years ago, I graduated from a high school in Virginia. I am planning to attend my high school reunion and reconnect with high school friends, see the changes made to our high school building and be a tourist in my home state. I will use my AARP rewards to save on hotels and meals, as I have decided to drive the almost 600 miles to make it home to Virginia for my trip. It should be a lot of fun! Plus, it will bring back a flood of good memories!

I am hoping to visit my youngest son, Fokion, and granddaughter, Zoe. They live in North Carolina near Lake Norman and I would love to visit and see the area where they live.

My first travel will be to go on a trip to North Dakota with The Archaeological Conservancy this September. This is exciting to me because I have never been to North Dakota, I am interested in the history of the northern Plains Indians, and I support the conservation activities of this exceptional organization. The trip does not include meals other than lunches, so I will be using my AARP rewards for restaurant dinners. Also, I will be arriving the day before the tour starts and will save 10% off the Radisson's hotel rate. But the biggest reward is the peace of mind that AARP has given me with their all their tips on air travel and protection against Covid. Without that, I would not have been able to start traveling again at all.

I love road trips so my spouse & I are driving throughout the state of Iowa. We have been there before & like the country, rolling hills, the friendly people, the sites, & the unexpected which we find on al;l of our road trips. I will use my AARP rewards to save on hotels and meals.

I’m traveling with two girlfriends to New England with Acadia National Park as our ultimate destination. We’re in our late 70’s and early 80’s and plan to hike some while there. I’m hopeful we will win some money for our trip since we’re driving and are well aware of the high cost of gas!!! I appreciate the travel tips I’ve been reading on the AARP posts!

I was supposed to go back east to my hometown in Upstate New York for my 50th class reunion in August of 2020 the year that the pandemic hit. Our reunion was cancelled. In 2021 they tried to put together a makeup reunion but the pandemic was still running rampant, so I had to postpone going back a second time. I celebrated my 70th birthday in March and, although I plan on living into my 90's, I would like to return to my hometown one last time before I feel I'm no longer able to make that trip. I have dear, dear friends that I need to see face-to-face, family members to hug and children that have grown up out of my reach that I want to see.

I'll visit the Jersey shore. I live in south Jersey but haven't traveled due to COVID. Most likely, I'll visit a friend in Sea Isle City.
