Weekend Getaway
This morning we made some last minute plans to spend a little time in Virginia Beach for the long weekend. I am a member of the Hilton Honors Club and because of all my travel, I am a Diamond level member (Hilton’s highest membership ranking, which is based on the number of stays/nights in a given year). For every night I spend at a Hilton, I also receive points that I can then redeem at a later date for free hotel stays. As a Diamond member, each stay also provides bonus points as well. I am using some of these points to “buy” two nights at the Virginia Beach Doubletree. Another Diamond member bonus is that I also get free upgrades to a suite if it is available. I am not sure if we will get a suite this weekend, but it will be free…..so I can’t complain! It is a nice payback for so many nights spent away from home. We are looking for a nice weekend getaway with the kids!
