Same here! We stayed at the Westin Harbour Castle. Such an amazing time. Having that exchange rate 25 years ago was pretty amazing too! I miss China Town and all of the great little outdoor shops there. Eaton Center was a blast too. Have fun!!!

My husband and I plan to drive to Washington DC to see the great museums. Despite the rise in divided-ness and hate crimes we still love our country and decided to see more of it rather than go overseas. We're fortunate to have AARP Rewards to access for discounts on lodging and some store gift cards to buy "stuff" we need for the trip. Thank you for being there for us!

My wife and I our planning a trip to Denver to see our sons new house. He bought after a promotion and move from Boyton Beach, Florida during the start of the pandemic 2 years ago. We had this planned when he moved but I contracted Co-Vid the passed it on to wife. She got it so bad she ended up in the hospital. Yes we had both been fully vaccinated and even had the 1st booster. We are alive and God is Great 🙂

We will be taking several road trips through the summer with our grandkids. On some of the trips we'll be staying in our RV and several will be in hotels. We always use AARP discounts to get a good price on hotels and AARP rewards to get gift certificates on food and gas.

[SteveF764112]

We are going to Texas to visit lifelong friends and “Chip & Joanna” in Waco! 😉

The rewards will help with gas!

Thanks!

We're heading to Seneca Falls, WVA for my incredible Nephew and his amazing Bride-to-be's long awaited Wedding. My darling Granddaughter Addi-May (5) is excited beyond words to be attending her very first wedding and I can't wait to dance with my sweet Grandson Parker(4). Our family is blessed to be able to share this beautiful couple's love and commitment to each other as they begin their journey as Husband and Wife.

I will be using AARP discounts during the trip for various things including hotel discounts and food discounts. I will also use discounts for attendance to various attractions during our week long trip.

My husband and I are planning to go to Australia and New Zealand this fall to experience the culture, the geography, and the natural history.  This may be my last big trip, as I have been diagnosed with a condition that impacts my short term memory, and extended travel may become too difficult for me in the future.  We would like to use our AARP rewards to dine out and to purchase souvenirs for friends and family at home.
