New York, New York!!! :-)

March 11th, 2011 at 04:08 am

Soooo, in January I got to go to New York FOR FREE! I booked my daughters girl scout troop with EF tours and not only do I get my trip for free, but I got to go on a training trip so I could see first hand what happens on our tour. It was SO COOL! New York city was AWESOME! My flight, hotel,2 meals and tickets, and transportation were all FREE! I took about $140 and brought home almost $100. All I had to buy was lunches and I did not buy any souvenirs as I decided to wait until I went back with my daughter.

We fund raised long and hard for this trip. It is well deserved for my girls! In the end, we ended up only having to pay $200 for my daughters ticket.

We leave on Sunday for our trip! I am sure this time will be a little more expensive, but I will try not to overdo. I am excited for my daughter to see the city. Two Broadway shows, Mama Mia and Anything Goes.

    Have a blast! NYC is a great city to visit. Smile

    I lived in New Brunswick, NJ for several years, and so passed through the tunnel quite a few times. I saw Cats, Wrong Turn at Lungfish, The Rockettes, Sweet Charity, Miss Saigon (I think that was its name??) and something else too. We'd go there on New Year's Eve day, and then leave just before Times Square would start to be closed to thru traffic.

    That sounds so fun and I love the idea that your first trip was free.

    What a great opportunity, and even better that it could lead to almost nothing out of pocket! The trip with your kid will be great, plus you have some insurance that you know what to expect, and what you want to do while you are there. Enjoy!
