155. The Town That Got Our Teens Off Their Phones: An Epic, Out of the Ordinary Road Trip on Points
Episode Description
In this episode, Jo shares the story of an unforgettable road trip — four teenagers, one mom, and a weekend that proved you don’t have to go far (or spend a fortune) to make magic happen. What started as a plan to see a concert turned into a full-blown adventure that got the teens off their devices and completely hooked on exploring a small town full of surprises.
From finding a Hyatt stay for just 6,500 points a night to discovering amazing free activities and local gems, Jo walks through how this spontaneous trip came together using points and miles. You’ll hear how she planned it, what made the destination so special, and why this road trip stands out as one of her favorite examples of affordable, meaningful travel with teens.
If you’ve ever wanted to plan an epic getaway that actually connects with your kids (or your kids’ friends) this episode is full of ideas and inspiration for using points and miles to create memories that last long after the trip ends.
