Summer Travel Tips and Giveaway!
With Memorial Day behind us, summer is officially on and families are packing up their suitcases and hitting the road. 87% of Americans are planning some sort of travel this summer. That’s a whole lot of hotel stays, huh?
Alexandra Jaritz knows all about travel and making the most of your time in a hotel. She grew up the daughter of a hotel general manager and lived in hotels throughout her childhood. She’s now the senior vice president of brand strategy and marketing and an officer of Choice Hotels International.
She recently offered up some tips on summer travel, including how to find great deals using social media and what the hot spots will be this year. Have a listen. Then comment below and let us know where you plan to visit this summer. One lucky winner of a $75 gift card to a Choice Hotel will be drawn at random. You have until midnight EST on June 22nd to enter. The winner will be drawn on June 23rd. Good luck and happy traveling!

We’ll probably make a fake vacay trip to Fort Yargo. Its’s 30 minutes away with yurts and a decent beach. The kids always have a blast. With a business that is busy in the summer, real vacations are out of the question, lol!
