We plan to head to Savannah, Charleston, myrtle beach, and Hilton Head.  We have seen lots of the US and been all over the globe but feel like it’s time to experience all that we have missed in our own “backyard”.  We will use our points to get discounted restaurant deals to further enjoy the experience.

[Lex5Pro]

We have plans to cruise out of Charleston on Carnival. We purchased Gift Cards from AARP Reward to save an additional 10% on Carnival and it really helps. We use Reward Points to purchase gift cards to CVS to purchase items we need for our vacation i.e. sunscreen, toiletries etc. This will be the third cruise we have attempted to take in the past two years and the other two were cancelled due to Covid-19 but as they say the third time is the charmer so hoping all will go well and looking forward to a needed vacation!

In July I am going to the Galapagos with one of my daughters.  It is my first ever organized tour and I am so excited!
