What do Y0U do with your Sky Miles?

Dan and I took ours and our Hilton points and went to Vermont in hope's of seeing the Fall Colors. We flew to Boston and picked up our rental, a mini van, because it was the cheapest car.
We had a row of about 7 mini vans to choose from...non of which had been cleaned. None of the cars on the lot were clean. We picked one and had them vacuum and wash the the outside, it was still Gross. Any way we stayed in Boston that night and drove the next day to Vermont. I enjoyed the changing colors along the freeway. Side note, going with a color blind person to see colors is interesting to say the least. We also went to Maine, cold, cold. As you will see our van died on us. Lucky for us it started up again and we were able to drive it to an airport that was not too far away and got a nice clean one.
Enjoy what I hope is a self guided tour of our trip.
I found the perfect Mission for me here, you take care of the landscaping and and put of Christmas Lights!!

Oh, it is so pretty! Aside from the dirty piece of trash van it sounds like a good way to use your sky miles. I am surprised at how much color there was, our tree's are just barely changing. I took Lex to her soccer game in Ohio yesterday and thought the tree-lined freeway would be saturated with color but there was a lot of green still!

I am glad that you guys got away and had some fun, Even in a minivan!

Sounds like a great little trip. I have always wanted to see what it is like up there, but I probably won't ever get the chance. I bet it was great to get away, just the two of you, with no one else to worry about or take care of but yourselves.

Fall leaves are my favorite thing so I would love to be able to do it some day. Your pictures are gorgeous.

One of the prettiest things I have ever seen was the east coast from the air in the fall. Coming in to land in Boston one year was unbelievable. Some day I am going to take the time to do it again and take a drive. You beat me to it!~
