I'm off for West Lawn, PA tomorrow morning. The flight leaves very early in the morning and I would have to get up at 3 a.m. to get to the airport to meet the U.S. airline requirements. I have accumulated a lot of points. I didn't want to leave the car at the airport so I am staying at a Holiday Inn at the airport. No cost and I have the points. It worked out well and there was a great manager's happy hour too.
The shuttle leaves every thirty minutes so I can sleep in and not have to have Juan take me to the airport. Tomorrow is a long travel day with stops in Houston, Chicago and then to Harrisburg.
Today was an Independence Day celebration. Times have changed. Friday is a national holiday so they decided to have the event today. Why? It it were tomorrow no one would show up as they are off on Friday. Sad but parents take their kids out of school to go on a three-day weekend.
I'm excited to be visiting my family in Kansas City. There is a shindig on Sunday the 24th with more family but I can't stay that long. Too much to do and I need to get back home. I'll come back home very early Wednesday morning. I'll get to see a brother from Hawaii, my godson from Germany, my little bro, some nieces and nephews and an adopted sister (she's really my sister-in-laws sister but we always have thought of her as a sister).
Not sure who else I'll see but I am looking forward to four days of visits. I got a great deal on a car at $9 a day. Considering there is a huge event in K.C. this weekend and rates were going as high as $350 for a week. I held out thinking worse case I could use Uber. This worked out well. Also, I found a promo after making a reservation at Extended Stay on the Plaza. I called them two days later and they honored it. $99 off the four nights. Pretty good!
If you don't know what the Country Club Plaza is, check it out. Also, check for Kansas City, the City of Fountains. I'll be posting pictures along the way.
How on earth can you rent a car for that price? Good deals all around. Nice to end your trip with a family visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Contessa. That's not all. In Kansas City for a Friday through Wednesday its $350. I changed it to return the car late at night on Tuesday staying at the airport which is half as cheap as in town. The hotel shuttle will pick me up and take me Wednesday morning. "Weekend" price, $113.
