Day 10: Retro to Now Road Trip

August 11 2009 by Retro to Now Road Trip

Family-in-ponchos-_Niagara.jpgThe Monteith family hit the road as the winners of Best Western's "Retro to Now Road Trip" contest.

We had an afternoon flight so plenty of time for another swim before we had to pack up and leave. The flight was easy; as road trippers we obviously don't fly often and I have to be honest wasn't too keen on it. Especially flying into NYC right after the small plane flew into the helicopter. That was lovely news as I was waiting to board the plane! Happy to report not even major turbulence. We had plenty of time for lunch at JFK and then our last leg home. I crawled through the door and headed upstairs to bed claiming, "I'll unpack in the morning!" The kids however, not being tired, were like "see you tomorrow we're watching the Disney Channel". Another great vacation completed!

I would be remiss by not thanking the people who made this great memory making vacation possible!

AAA- Great plans, great gifts, and a great company!!!

Best Western- Obviously the "Best" hotel!

Hertz- Who facilitated our first car pickup which was very easy and started us off on a great trip.

Volkswagen- Great car with all the amenities a family could want! And, a very helpful gent who dropped the car off and met us at the hotel so we could go all the way to the airport in "our" new car. The kids were even allowed to watch a DVD on the way to the airport.

Our Friends and Family - who voted for our photo and gave us the chance to go on the trip!

Thanks to everyone behind the scenes this was a dream come true for a big Army Family!
