Looking to take some shorter weekend getaways, listen in as we share some micro trips with mega value.
spk_0
Welcome to Points Talk with the Travel Mom Squad.
spk_0
We are three moms who've discovered how to leverage credit card welcome offers to get hundreds of thousands of dollars of travel expenses for nearly free.
spk_0
We've used credit card points of miles to take vacations to places like Hawaii, Paris, Greece, Maltese, Japan, and so much more.
spk_0
And the best part, we each still have 800 plus credit scores.
spk_0
Imagine being able to take the vacation of your dreams for nearly free.
spk_0
It's totally possible and we're here to show you how.
spk_0
Hey, I'm Alex.
spk_0
And I'm Pam, Alex's mom, and I'm Jess. Let's talk points.
spk_0
Sometimes with work or being a parent, you might not be able to get away for a full week or 10 days or more.
spk_0
Maybe you just want a quick relaxing getaway and a break from everyday life.
spk_0
That's where micro trips come in.
spk_0
And today we're sharing some great destinations tailored to different parts of the country because obviously if you only have a few days, you're not going to want to spend a majority of that time on a plane that are great spots.
spk_0
If you just have two nights or three nights or four nights, these are going to give you some ideas for places you can go that feel like you're far away when you're really not.
spk_0
And we do have some international ones though.
spk_0
Yes, we do.
spk_0
I'll stay tuned for those. You can still do a quick getaway internationally.
spk_0
All right, Pam. So kick us off with some things that everyone should consider before deciding on one of these destinations.
spk_0
Well, we get a lot of questions from people wanting to know how long they need to spend in a certain place, a certain hotel, a certain destination.
spk_0
You know, we believe that any time is better than zero time.
spk_0
I've had countless times. I've gone on a trip and I've gone there and I thought, oh, it's only going to be, you know, so long.
spk_0
And after the first night, I'm going, this is totally, totally worth it. I am so glad I did this.
spk_0
And if I had to go home tomorrow, I would be fine with having done it.
spk_0
We've actually done four days in Europe. And I never regretted it. So a micro trip is certainly worth it.
spk_0
So for these destinations, we think that obviously, you know, two to four nights would be great, but it will be depend on your flying time as well.
spk_0
I think for a micro trip, the flight times are usually shorter anyway, but, but you know what, we did a micro trip to Europe.
spk_0
So you can do that too.
spk_0
Hey, the key, if you, if you can do business class that links there, then it makes it a whole different situation.
spk_0
If you're in business class, that's like part of the vacation. And so it 100%.
spk_0
Yeah. It's part of the journey.
spk_0
And so I could fly their spend a night somewhere flight home in business class. And I'd probably say that was a great trip.
spk_0
Well, and what, and people are probably wondering what we did. We did it.
spk_0
We've done it twice now, mom, right? We did Paris. I think we were there for four nights.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
You have to count. It was a five night trip. So it was a little longer because you have to account for the night flying over.
spk_0
And then we did four nights in Italy or Selena, Switzerland. Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah, it was Switzerland. We flew into Milan. And we did that because we were flying Emirates first class home.
spk_0
So it was like, that was the only thing we booked and then we planned a whole trip around that.
spk_0
So you can do some pretty fancy micro trips that we're going to, they're not going to be that crazy for this episode.
spk_0
Most people don't want to do that.
spk_0
But I remember Alex, because we thought, okay, is this going to be even worth it?
spk_0
Because we can't stay very long. And like by the second day, we said, oh, yeah, this is worth it.
spk_0
But if I had to go home tomorrow, I would have thought this was worth it.
spk_0
Yeah. Well, we just booked another for next summer for Grand Hotel Victoria and Lake Como.
spk_0
So we're planning, I think we're going to be gone for four nights, maybe four or five nights.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I want to be for five nights because I want to go to the park high at Milan because I've never done that yet.
spk_0
Okay. You have to do that.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
So, so you know, don't write off micro trips.
spk_0
They can be amazing and what a great way to just get away, relax, decompress.
spk_0
One of the things that I think that a Hilton pre-night certificate can be perfect to use for those kind of getaways.
spk_0
Because usually most people only have two to four of them anyway, use them for a luxury stay.
spk_0
And that's my type of jam.
spk_0
And the other thing is micro trips are a great way to see more places.
spk_0
And I know Alex for you with children with little children, you need to be with a lot.
spk_0
Sometimes you just can't get away for a lot of big trips and you always tell me, or it's just stressful.
spk_0
Like we're getting ready to head in Morocco soon by the time this airs will be back.
spk_0
But I'm like, we're going to be gone for so long.
spk_0
And it's a little stressful because it's just like, oh, that's a long time to be away from my kids.
spk_0
Like they'll be fine.
spk_0
But it, you know, it just can get a little stressful.
spk_0
And it's a lot of parts to work.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
To figure out what you're doing with them, who's watching them and stuff.
spk_0
And so a micro trip just eases a lot of that anxiety.
spk_0
You could probably enjoy it more and look forward to it more because it's easier to plan for.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I will say to theirs, I wish I could remember the guy's name on Instagram.
spk_0
But he goes on day trips and he'll be like, I just flew to Iceland for a day trip.
spk_0
He'll even do these things where he goes with no plan, no itinerary.
spk_0
He just gets a rental car and just goes where the road takes him.
spk_0
And I love it because I think that's, I don't know.
spk_0
It's not necessarily a pet peeve of mine, but I just don't like the idea of it's not worth it if you can't go for this long.
spk_0
And I love his account because it's like, he just did an amazing trip.
spk_0
It's like, he'll go from New York to London.
spk_0
I mean, that helps when you're flying from New York, you fly there.
spk_0
You get there early in the morning, you stay all day and do all these things.
spk_0
And then that night he flies home.
spk_0
And I'm like, that's just kind of cool.
spk_0
It's like making the most of what you have.
spk_0
And so I just hope that people say, listen, like, okay.
spk_0
Yeah, I only have this much of time.
spk_0
I'm going to make that time maximize it.
spk_0
Like make it the best it can because it's either I sit at home and just do.
spk_0
The regular life or you could go spend an amazing two days somewhere and have a completely new fun, exciting experience.
spk_0
Well, I think Alex, you're kind of the queen of doing both because you have these little kids still.
spk_0
And so you do a lot of micro trips, but you also do some more long extended.
spk_0
And it sounds to me like the micro trips are almost better for you.
spk_0
You feel, you know, you have a lot less stress and anxiety with them.
spk_0
For sure. I mean, I think it's getting older now that my youngest is getting older, but it's like we're getting ready to leave soon.
spk_0
And I'm like, okay, my kids are in so many activities right now.
spk_0
And it's just Mitch that has to get four kids to five different activities because some of my kids are in more than one thing right now.
spk_0
And so it's it's a lot to figure out, but he's really great.
spk_0
And just he does it.
spk_0
I think it helps that he doesn't stress out of it. He's like, oh, we'll be fine. We'll figure it out.
spk_0
Like that is a huge reason of why I don't get as stressed as maybe I would otherwise.
spk_0
Well, and he's really good about participating in the planning of how you do this.
spk_0
And he's very supportive of you doing it. But you know, there's other families that maybe the mom takes on that real more.
spk_0
And then that's more stressful. So it's a lot easier for you to take a quick micro vacation, either with her husband or with friends.
spk_0
You know, friends trip. It just works better. Yeah.
spk_0
Okay. So let's get to some destinations. We're kind of broke this up by different areas of the country where you live.
spk_0
Because like we said, typically unless you're crazy like my mom and I, you don't want to spend eight hours on a plane for a micro trip.
spk_0
And so we're we kind of chose destinations that would be easy to get to based off where you live.
spk_0
So first up, if you live on like the western side of the United States, here are some suggestions for you.
spk_0
First is the Alila, Ventana Big Sur. And this is located in California in the red woods.
spk_0
I chose this as one because there are certain destinations that you don't need to go to for longer than a micro trip.
spk_0
I wouldn't want to go to Alila, Ventana Big Sur for a week.
spk_0
I would get bored and I would be like, okay, we're ready to go.
spk_0
We spent three nights here. I think you could even get away with two at the minimum.
spk_0
Three would be ideal. I don't think you need more than three nights.
spk_0
So it is an adult only all inclusive destination.
spk_0
It's just tucked in in the red woods like there's nothing else around besides like campsite.
spk_0
So if you want if you enjoy hiking or if you just want to relax in a quiet serene area.
spk_0
And like I tell Jess, I'm like Ted would love it because Ted would just love sitting out there.
spk_0
You can see the ocean from different parts of the resort and just doing his crossword puzzle.
spk_0
We actually haven't booked for next year. So I'm really it's like totally his cup of tea. So I hope it works out.
spk_0
Yeah, the only thing is it's a little it's not like you fly right in there.
spk_0
We flew into San Jose and then we drove for a couple of hours. So you won't need a rental car.
spk_0
But it's like a beautiful for the most part. It's a really pretty drive.
spk_0
And so I loved it. You we went through Carmel by the sea through Monterey.
spk_0
You could even tack on a night in one of those places.
spk_0
And that's what I wish we would have done. I wish we would have done two nights in Alila, Ventana Big Sur.
spk_0
One night at like the Carmel Valley Ranch. I think that's what you have booked, right Jess?
spk_0
Carmel Carmel. Yes, Carmel is what I meant.
spk_0
I finally get to correct someone. You all know who gets corrected the most on this podcast.
spk_0
But once in a while I have the pronunciation correct.
spk_0
Yes. Another one if you're on the west coast would be the old Waldorf Astoria, Los Cabos, Pedragal,
spk_0
which just bumped up to a wild 250,000 points at night.
spk_0
So I would do that if you have high at free nights or typical or Hilton free nights or
spk_0
certificates. I wouldn't pay that much to stay here. No, I'd be going to the Cape.
spk_0
Yeah. Incredible use of a Hilton free nights certificate.
spk_0
If you have a couple of those. Another place where I think three nights here is fantastic.
spk_0
If you don't have that many Hilton free nights or certificates, you could use high at points
spk_0
of state. The people also can't afford to stay more than three nights at the Waldorf because
spk_0
the food is so freaking expensive. Yes, that true. That too.
spk_0
It is good though. I thought the food there was really good.
spk_0
But there are a lot of restaurants nearby too. Yeah. Yeah. That's true.
spk_0
And you can even walk to some. All right. Next up is Disneyland. This is my, this is how I do
spk_0
Disneyland. I am not somebody who's like, let's go for a week to Disneyland.
spk_0
We're going to spend five days in the park. We're a let's get in, do one park per day and then
spk_0
we're back home because I am beat after even two days at Disneyland. Granted, we're opening
spk_0
and almost pretty much staying till close. So we're putting in a lot of hours.
spk_0
But this is another great. I know people who actually will do day trips to Disneyland.
spk_0
They'll fly in super early, spend all day, fly home. So I think that would actually be pretty fun
spk_0
and like a memorable thing to do someday. But we like the Hyatt Place in Hyatt House.
spk_0
Anaheim, you can use your Hyatt Free Night certificates there. Great use of those walking distance
spk_0
to the parks. And yeah. So I'm a fan of that as well.
spk_0
San Diego is a great destination for a micro trip. We've stayed at the Andos there, which was fine.
spk_0
I wouldn't want to stay at the Andos if I had kids with me. I think it's more of an adult's only place.
spk_0
But there is the Grand Hyatt Manchester. That would be a good place for kids.
spk_0
So that's an option. Just and I just returned from the Miraval Arizona.
spk_0
I think any of the Mirivals are perfect for a micro trip.
spk_0
You don't, it's expensive on points. You wouldn't want to use more points for more than three nights there anyway.
spk_0
And it's one other one of those things where it's like you would maybe get like I think you'll be ready to go home after three nights
spk_0
because it's not you're not going to be leaving the property to go do other stuff when you're there.
spk_0
You're immersed in the Miraval experience. And then so I think we did two nights and I thought two nights was great.
spk_0
But I think three nights would be ideal. But it also is really nice like when you go with a friend like you guys did because like he said the points are quite high.
spk_0
But if you're both chipping in it's not a bad stay at all.
spk_0
Exactly. It's not it's really not especially where it's everything's included.
spk_0
Like your foods included if you your classes are included if you don't want to pay to do the other classes the pay classes you don't have to you could like
spk_0
leave this resort with no bill if you wanted to and not paper anything even your transportation to and from the resort is included.
spk_0
And so if you're wanting to stay somewhere on a budget.
spk_0
You could literally pay zero dollars for your whole entire vacation outside of your taxes and fees for your flights.
spk_0
The next one would be the Waldorf Astoria Park City. I have used Hilton Free Night Certificates to stay here.
spk_0
I loved going in the summer. It's so quiet. It's so pretty up there. It's a really nice place.
spk_0
And when I've gone and I know when Jess went we both got upgraded to like a king suite with its own living room in a kitchen in two bathrooms.
spk_0
So summer I think here's a great time to go. I don't think you'll probably get that upgrade in the winter.
spk_0
But this would be a really great use of those Hilton Free Night Certificates as well.
spk_0
Well, I think that one of the things you're talking about the Waldorf Astoria is like a great micro trip is people that want to go skiing or snowboarding for a long weekend.
spk_0
I mean, that's a great way to do a micro trip. Nobody's you know is really going to have the time to go for a whole week.
spk_0
I know that you can there's a high up in Ville Colorado. I too have gone there in the summer for just a three night stay.
spk_0
And it was amazing. But if you can snag some of those stays with when you want to go snowing at snow skiing snowboarding.
spk_0
I guess it's actually more popular in the winter. That is a great micro trip and a great use of the yep point some miles.
spk_0
Yeah, and those resorts can be so expensive in the peak season like that.
spk_0
And I also just think with Hilton devaluing again those free night certificates are perfect for micro trips.
spk_0
So okay, moving on.
spk_0
No, I think you've got two more that I want to mention.
spk_0
And that's you know, if you're going to if you're in Western USA and you want to go to California,
spk_0
there's two that we absolutely love that are very good for a micro trip.
spk_0
And I've done one of them. I've done the seabird in ocean side and I've gone there for three or four days.
spk_0
Perfect plenty of time.
spk_0
Gorgeous resort right on the beach.
spk_0
Lots of fun things to do and the hotel itself is just so so cute.
spk_0
And I think you went for you when you went.
spk_0
It wasn't for long trip. Was it Alex? I think we did four nights.
spk_0
Okay, and then the other one that we've done in conjunction with Disneyland is to go to the highest region sea hunting to beach.
spk_0
We've all gone there.
spk_0
We've all loved it. We all think their globalist breakfast is one of the best in the world.
spk_0
And so that is another great beach escape in San Diego. Perfect for my hunting tent. It's not in San Diego.
spk_0
Well, yeah, yeah, but nearby. So so yeah, so we love the hunting tent and the high at Regency Huntington Beach.
spk_0
And it's perfect for three two or three days. That's all we've ever stayed there.
spk_0
All right, I am going to talk about if you live in the more central southern part of the US.
spk_0
So I'm based in Houston. I've actually done a lot of micro trips that I'm going to talk about.
spk_0
The first one is I actually haven't done this one, but coconut point in Florida is a super popular destination among our followers and our Facebook group.
spk_0
It's constantly getting recommended. And so that is an option.
spk_0
A few that I have done lately. It's funny because being in Houston, I'm closer to Mexico and Costa Rica that I am to California or New York.
spk_0
You know, and so a lot of times international trips actually make more sense for me to do from Houston. I have done the ondas pop a guy over three nights.
spk_0
We literally flew Houston to Liberia three nights ondas pop a guy over president's day weekend, flew home.
spk_0
Would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm so jealous of you for that because for me getting to Costa Rica is such a pain.
spk_0
And for you, it's like, oh, you can just take what two and a half hour flight if that and you're there.
spk_0
Another nice one for you is Rohiton, right? Is it that a quick flight for you?
spk_0
I'm going there in January. I think it's a three hour flight. So yeah, it's pretty is pretty convenient.
spk_0
Alex and I did impression Moshe and cancun for I think that was three nights that we were there. Yeah, it was Ted and I did send Miguel day and day, which is in Mexico again three nights there.
spk_0
And so I mean, if you're in Texas or anywhere around here, like you have it made with these micro trip destinations, I've also done.
spk_0
So we did the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale. We did three nights there over Easter weekend. Like Molly had good Friday off. So we went Friday Saturday Sunday.
spk_0
I've done the Hyatt Tamaia in Albuquerque for three nights. I have done we drive to Hyatt Hill Country and Hyatt lost pines regularly.
spk_0
Like if we just need somewhere to go, we're like, we want to get away, you know, two and a half hour, two and a half, three hour drive for us to get to those places.
spk_0
We did Hyatt Hill Country as well for three nights and we couldn't drive, but it was well worth going there for three nights. We loved it. I would totally go there again. Did I say hill country? I met lost pines. I don't know what I said, but we did lost pines.
spk_0
But I feel like hill country and lost pines are so nice because they're like smack dab in the middle of the country. You know, so yeah, it could make sense as a micro trip for a lot of different people, you know, depending on where you are.
spk_0
So yeah, those are some of our favorites. And now I'm like, I need to go back to the one that's Papagayo and impressions and send me a gildate. This has me having foam when wanting to go back to all these places.
spk_0
Well, the nice thing is though is if you're going, you can be like, all right, I'm going for a long weekend. You can do all of it. That's what I love about micro trips because you can be like, you know, I just feel like getting away. I've been home. I haven't had a trip in a little while. Where can I go?
spk_0
On a quick little trip. And that's what we did. My sister and I when we went to the Waldorf Astoria, those Cobbos, Pidra Gaul last year is I had a couple of free night a Hilton free nights and she had one. So there's a tip for you to if you don't have enough.
spk_0
Go with somebody else that has them recruit another person who has free night certificates. Yes. And it was like, this is great. We booked it like two weeks before we went because we're like, oh, there's availability. We both have these certificates.
spk_0
We're not sure how to use. Let's just go. And so that was that was really awesome.
spk_0
Okay, we're going to move on to the eastern part of the USA. The first place we're going to talk about is great. If you live there. But you know what? This place is great. Wherever you live. I would go here for micro trip. Any time in fact, I wrote down as we were doing this.
spk_0
I was planning a micro trip to New York City because I love to see plays. I for me going there for three nights. No problem. It's like four hours to get there. I stay in a great hotel like the Thompson Central Park or the park.
spk_0
I love those hotels. Go see some place. Fly home. Oh my goodness. That's my idea of a perfect getaway. I just got back. I just got back from New York, even though from Houston, New York probably isn't considered a really big micro trip destination. But we went my friend and I went for four nights.
spk_0
Stayed at the park. I had an amazing time. Saw two shows, you know, and so I think it's a perfect getaway for a family trip or a girls trip or anything. Yeah.
spk_0
I was like, do you want to go to New York today? Let's go to New York. I found flights and they're pretty cheap. So that day, that evening, like two hours after she sent this text, they were driving to the airport. They flew to New York, which that's not I wouldn't call that like super close from Salt Lake City.
spk_0
Like it's like a four and a half hour flight. I want to say around that maybe even five. I'm not exactly sure. I will let you know I'm taking the flight. I'm taking the flight here in a few days. But anyway, she they stayed for one night and she has done that a couple of times or she'll take a red eye. And she's like, it was so fun. We rode bikes all up and down the city through Central Park. We got all the pizza that we want to like from her favorite place. We did this. We did that. And she think it was so fun. But it we retired.
spk_0
But I'm like, that is so fun to just be like, hey, let's just go. I think I just love the spontaneity of that. That's kind of like I'm not really like that. But I'd like to be like that. I'd like to be like, hey, who wants to go do this? Let's just go. This would be so fun and just make it happen. So you can even make it a micro trip from Salt Lake City and go for one night.
spk_0
Well, aren't you going pretty soon to sing Hamilton? That didn't happen yet. Did it? Yeah, I'm going, but I'm going originally we were going for three nights. We have three nights booked at the Thompson Central Park.
spk_0
But with flight times, I texted my friends. I'm like, what do you guys think about going the day before? We'll get in late to LaGuardia. Get I'm using my IHG free night for a like my annual free night certificate for a airport hotel there.
spk_0
We'll get in late. We'll just stay at LaGuardia and then we'll take an Uber into this city.
spk_0
Drop off our bags at the hotel, because I'm sure we won't be able to check in at, you know, that early. And we'll just start the day and have a whole extra day instead of getting there at like 5 p.m.
spk_0
And missing out. So because a few of them have never been. I'm going with there's four of us going. We got two rooms at the Thompson.
spk_0
And I think two of them have never been in New York City. So I was like, ah, let's go longer. If you haven't been, we want to be able to do more.
spk_0
But still four nights I can but can still consider that a micro trip.
spk_0
You know, I am dying to do this now that we're talking about this. I've got so much film. Oh, no, it's like I need to find someone who has points some miles because I love the idea of not uses all my points.
spk_0
We still have a guy. That's my history and 10.
spk_0
Oh, right. We are going to do that.
spk_0
I want to do New York City. And so we're going to be going. It's just figuring out when we can go with our schedules because yeah his birthday is in January.
spk_0
But I do have a micro trip there. Yeah. And you have somebody to split your stay at the park. Hi, it went exactly. I know I'm excited.
spk_0
We need to do that. We need to come up with a day. We're going to do it. I want to get a suite there.
spk_0
Okay, another another great place for you Easterners is Chicago has a great park. Hi there. Really a nice park. Hi, I really love my stay there.
spk_0
And but there's tons of other high properties and we tend to talk a lot about high properties.
spk_0
But all of these places there are Hilton's there are Marriots. There's I HG's so you know all of these places are great no matter what points you have.
spk_0
I love people the fact that people that live in the Eastern part of the USA have such great access to the Caribbean.
spk_0
You guys are so lucky. It's kind of like you feel like we're lucky because we can go to Hawaii not travel as far.
spk_0
But we still travel farther than you travel to the Caribbean. I would just I love the Caribbean. And to be able to fly there in two or three hours would just be a dream.
spk_0
And so you have so many options of going to a rubah going to St. Lucia going to so many different places.
spk_0
