Thrifty travel is a fine art

– not cheap travel, but good value travel with interesting inclusions. Greg and I have been saving up our points – airmiles, united miles etc. and are treating ourselves to a week in Seattle and Portland.

We will be embarking this afternoon on a re-positioning cruise ship from Vancouver to Seattle. It is only for 1 night, but it costs next to nothing and includes food, swimming pool. . .and I have no idea what else, since I have never been on a cruise (ship) before! We will be spending 1 night in Seattle after that, and then driving to Portland, Oregon for 2 nights. Lastly, after driving back to Seattle, we’ll take a 2nd re-positioning cruise back up to Vancouver! It’ll be about 6 days total.

What’s this about a giveaway? Well, Greg has written some amazing Thrifty Travel posts which will be scheduled this week. . .and I would love to come home to oodles of new comments!
