Hi everyone, Hope your day is going well.
Just a TIDBIT 4 you, If you are traveling and you have not signed up for the rewards programs YOU should!!!. Most of the programs are free!! Most do not expire and all of them treat you better if you are a member. So even if you travel very little this can be a perk for you for you.
Check with the hotel, car, or airline but most if not all work together with the rewards. So by flying on Southwest, and staying at a hotel in Los Angeles, and renting a car that you have signed up for their rewards, the car and hotel may have given you enough points for another trip on Southwest, or have a free upgrade on a care rental.
I have found that if I do this I can book an economy car, with my reward points I can have a full size for free.
These rewards can usually be signed up for online at the websites of the companies you chosen to have rewards with.

Have a safe and wonderful trip!

TIDBIT 4 TRAVELING WITH YOUR PETS

Dogs and cats this TIDBIT is for your owners.

Tidbit 4 doing trips with your dogs and cats. I have gone many miles with my pets. If your pet is not a good traveler please get with your Vet before you leave and ask them about pet drugs. I know most of us prefer not to use them, but if it helps our pets it is worth it.
Make sure that the health records are up to date, travel by air requires a health certificate which is different than just their records.
If you are traveling by car try to book your pet friendly hotel in advance, there are a few hotels chains that are very pet friendly, Best Western being one of them.
Do not forget to use any and all discounts, AAA, AARP, Sam’s Club, Costco, etc. The worst they can say is “I am sorry we do not offer a discount”. The link below is for Best Western and they have quite a few properties that accept pets!
Please remember that you should stop about every one and a half to two hours for walks, not only for your pet but also for you. Road trips can be fun and enjoyable with your pets.

Please remember that our pets are not spoiled they are well loved.
