I thank travel-hacking for this one. I've booked a $5 flight on JetBlue. (Thank you for the Thank You points, Jet Blue Airlines Credit Card special!)
I'll be flying to DC and then renting a car (in this case, more cost-effective than flying direct) and driving down to Virginia (about 3.5 hours) to my Grandmother's farm.
AKA: One of my favorite relaxation havens.
And, all-in-all, an extremely cost-effective holiday! And super relaxing. I'm very excited to be starting and ending in DC too, so I can revisit the Capitol and maybe do some sightseeing before heading home.
You see, once I hit the backwood roads leading to Gram's farm,
I tend to turn into a country bumpkin, not wanting to do anything but kick off my shoes, roll up my pant legs and go tromping through the dirt, enjoying the sunshine and my family.
So flying in and out of DC will force me to do a tiny bit more on this trip. No doubt I'll let you know if this turns out to really be a good idea or not.
Here's to home-cooked Southern farm food, good clean dirt and a sweet, humid spring on the farm.
Where's your relaxation haven?
Oh that does sound like heaven!!! Have a great time!!
ReplyDeleteLuis and I love visiting his family is Portugal. His mom cooks every meal, does all the laundry, and we can relax in the sun on the porch. We take walks around the neighborhood, and head the the beach for some ice cream. We get to sleep in, and go to the movies. We love it!!
