Celebrating Our Anniversary

October 4, 2019 By Jill Russo Foster

We have stopped buying gifts for each other a long time ago.  We don’t need more stuff in our home.  We chose to celebrate occasions with experiences.

Our wedding anniversary is next week, but we celebrated early and took a weekend away.  We love music and had the chance to go to Eric Clapton’s Guitar Festival 2019 in Dallas – two great nights of music with so many performers benefiting his charity Crossroads.  It was an incredible experience.

We were able to do this with many opportunities to save.  We were able to use airline miles for the upgraded flight and we earned miles for flying for the next trip.  Our hotel points got us an incredible rate of 50% off and the hotel had shuttle service within 2 miles of the hotel.  No need to rent a car, pay for parking at the hotel or transportation to the arena.

This was a great way to celebrate and save money in the process.
