We've been hunkered down since the start of Covid, continuing to cancel our plans to visit my remaining relatives in the midwest doing a roadtrip. Two remain. 😞  During covid my body seemed to break down which really has kept me home except for physical therapy.  I dream of a "real" gettaway. I dream of warm sand and warm turquoise blue water I can see through, my face in the warm sunshine... enjoying wonderful food I didn't have to cook, a stress free, anxiety forgotten time away... doesn't get much better than that. 🙂  p.s. and a cool drink in my hand.

Hello!

I plan on making several small trips back and forth to New York City as part of my big plan to relocate back to the Big Apple. I would really like to stay in an Airbnb while I'm there so the card would be an added plus for me.

I am new to AARP and trying to navigate the content, contests, newsletters, videos and discounts and all the great things that AARP offers. Thank you!

Actually I have no vacation plans at all, since it's just me now Have no impetus to get up and go, but it's good to know if I enter I can still win something, right?

[JavierC297998]

I have not seen my family in NY because of health issues, and just recently, I have been approved to fly, so an airline discount for two would be amazing. 

[StephanieT645421]

Going down to the beach AARP will be by my side for every discount.AARP is the GOAT 

[timothyabusch]

Planning to go to Montreal, QC this coming summer and will use my AARP membership and rewards for car rental, restaurants, and entertainment discounts. 

[JaneD696899]

We always check with AARP when traveling anywhere and more recently our travels have taken us to the UK. We booked charming hotels in London and Cambridge!  We were thrilled  that AARP rates were so good and such a savings.

My best friend and I are wanting to plan a cruise together but every time we think we picked the right one, one of us ends up in the hospital.  But I was told we can book it through you all and purchase the insurance and it won't matter if some thing comes up last minute to ruin our plans.  That would be awesome to win money towards the cruise I haven't got to spend anytime with my best friend since before the pandemic.

Our plans are to get out and visit local attractions. Besides restaurants gift cards we will check out redeeming reward points under local offers.

My son is graduating in May, so we are looking forward to a trip to Montana. I'm hoping to use our AARP discount to dine out. (I joined after we made our prepaid hotel and airfare.). Beth n Brian 

[FalterFamily]

My son has been an Irish Dancer for 7 years, more than half his life, and we plan to join the other families from his Irish Dance school on a trip to Ireland in July!  We are brand new to AARP so haven't figured out how to use AARP Rewards yet, but hopefully we'll have that figured out by the time we leave.

[PaulaD715]

I'm heading to Memphis in April and to a New Jersey beach in June

[CynthiaR338778]

My Mom in Law is 92, Mother of 4, still in good health mind and body, and her “favorite place on earth” is Disneyland.  The family plans to come together before Mothers Day this May to take her to the Magic Kingdom for a day or two of enjoying all that Disneyland has to offer.  I am an AARP member and hoping hotel discounts and possibly park discounts will help ease the costs.  Looking forward to Spring and better weather!

[HeidemarieB758291]

I am going to Grand Canyon West in May, as well as Italy and France. I always use my AARP membership to save on Wyndham lodging, rental car rates and even food. You won’t believe how many AARP discounts you can get just by saying you are a member!

[cherryggrant]

I plan to travel from coast to coast on a flight to visit daughter, grandchildren and great grandchildren for two months. I’m using my points to save money on restaurants when I take the family out for meals. A treat for all.

We use AARP travel by getting good deals on Hotels when we go to various places like Chicago or for rental car discounts.

[BonitaH266356]

I would use it for car rental on a gas friendly car.

I love most retro looks because they bring back such great memories, and you often don't have to wait more than a few decades for the styles to come back... so while trying to minimalize, I don't throw everything out.  Most memorable are the 60's with the long hair that I "ironed" to make it even straighter; the even shorter skirts; the knee-high boots for walkin'; the dangling necklaces and earrings; and the flower in my hair.
