Okay so we bought our Jetblue 'aycj' (All You Can Jet) pass that was the first step. There was a little scare with my pass not processing but we took care of all that in 1 day. Once we found out it was all good all cylinders were on and we were thinking of how this was all going to happen. We started by each of us making a list of the places we most wanted to visit. Surprisingly Jeremy's list and my list included the same cities in the same order. I had printed out the map from the JetBlue website to where they jet and we used that to help us. The only thing that was a bummer was that they don't have a lot of West Coast flights. We wanted to start out here in California and make our way North to Seattle before going to the East Coast. That is not gonna happen but that's OK it just gives us more time at the end of our trip.
The trip is mapped out and the flights are booked all the way through NYC. The only difficult part of planning this trip is trying to stick to our budget with the hotels. Did you know that staying somewhere during the work week doesn't help with the cost?
We have traveled quite a bit in our 8 years together and most places charge more on weekends, high season and holidays. We thought we would be safe by planning our trip to put us in most of the big cities during the week, for instance D.C. Since we had never been I had called a few hotels. There weren't may to choose from in our price range that hadn't already been all booked let alone any near downtown. I looked at BnB's, apartments and everything I could think of. I guess this is one of the lessons you can only learn by doing. Next on our to do list is booking a rental car. Wish me luck!
6 days and counting.......
Bye for now!
