Discount Travel Secret: New Travel Itineraries + A Quick Travel Heads-Up 🎶✈️
|
Discount Travel Secrets Hi Reader, Can we talk about the new Taylor Swift album that dropped Friday? How many times have you listened to it so far? 😜 This week, I wanted to give a quick heads-up: if you’re planning to visit any national parks or government-run museums this weekend, make sure to double-check ahead of time. During government shutdowns, some sites may be closed and not all closures are obvious. You don’t want to drive all the way somewhere only to find it locked up. For example, the air force museum here in Dayton closes during these shutdowns. Now onto the exciting part of this email — I’ve got two brand new blog posts to help you plan some amazing fall adventures: 1️⃣ Gettysburg Day Trip Itinerary Perfect for history buffs or anyone looking for a mix of scenic spots, museums, and local eats. I break down a full day so you can hit all the highlights without feeling rushed. 2️⃣ Southern Michigan 3-Day Weekend Getaway(with a bonus day trip to Canada!) From charming small towns to outdoor adventures, this itinerary is packed with hidden gems. Plus, I included a fun bonus trip if you want to pop across the border for a day. Both itineraries include tips on where to eat, what to see, and how to maximize your time, plus a few insider hacks to save money along the way. Click through to check them out and start planning your next adventure: Gettysburg Itinerary I hope these ideas inspire your next weekend escape, and yes, feel free to blast some Taylor Swift while you plan! See you next week, Eva and JP 💎 P.S. Ready to plan your next trip? Find some of our favorite travel-related resources below. ✔ Find the cheapest rental car rate |

Discount Travel Secrets: America250 is here! Hi Reader, I was planning to wait until the new year to talk about this, but since some celebrations are already starting, I figured why not get a head start? You’ve probably started to hear bits and pieces about America250, but if not, here’s the quick version: next year marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and there’s going to be a huge nationwide celebration leading up to July 4th, 2026. Funny enough,...
Discount Travel Secrets: Epic US Road Trips On A Budget Hi Reader, I’m so excited to share this week’s new post with you, our American Southwest Road Trip Itinerary!

Since then, we’ve revisited a lot of the destinations we missed, especially in Utah and Arizona, and...
