Hotel Accommodations

I've won hotel prizes and so far have won 100,000 Hilton points, $250 at Marriott Residence Inn and one night at the Seattle Grand Hyatt. We can stretch those out and probably get 10 days at 3 hotels. Hilton has an offer where 15,000 points and $50 will get one night so with some of the cash we've won, I can get a week at a Hilton.

Now for the rental car...

Maybe I can convince my husband to let us use some of his Marriott points!

TICKETS!!!

Our tickets are booked.
They are set in stone and sealed in place.
We are flying to.........................


                                   Seattle, Washington --- 2,600 miles away



                    Watch out Seattle! We'll be there to see you in June 2012!

Please send us any advice or tips you may have about traveling to the Pacific Northwest. This will be the first time for both of us to visit so we could use some help! Our next step is to book hotels, rent a car and finally form an itinerary.                             Look out folks- here we come!
