We’ll be in Japan for over three weeks next spring and we’re soooo excited!
Want to know what makes it even better?
Our flights and our entire first 8 days in Tokyo were booked completely with our points!
Which means those first 8 days are costing us next to *nothing* (and I don’t think it gets better than that!)
Here are the Tokyo hotels we booked and what it would have cost us otherwise 🙌🏻 ⬇️
➡️ 5 nights at the super luxe Hyatt Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills (the rooms go for $1300+ a night and we got them for 30k Hyatt points per night 🔥🤯. That’s a $6,500 hotel stay for ZERO!)
➡️ 3 nights at Hilton Tokyo Bay Hotel at the Tokyo Disney Resort (40k Amex points per night transferred to Hilton. This property is perfect because it can be booked on points and is on the Disney monorail line to the parks! If we were paying cash, this hotel would cost us an additional $1,000 total. We got it for zero!)
There is no way on this green earth that we’d be affording vacations like this without our points and miles.

Budapest should not be overlooked! Not only is it beautiful, it is also one of the most affordable cities in Europe! Here are some of our favorite Budapest activities with kids!
⭐️ For maps and our full itinerary comment BUDAPEST and we’ll send you the link to our Budapest blog post! ⭐️
HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITES!
1️⃣. Take a swim at one of the many Hungarian Thermal Bathhouses. Our favorite was Szenchenyi!
2️⃣. Ride the Budapest Eye Ferris Wheel
3️⃣. Take a guided tour through the complicated, fascinating, and sometimes tragic history of Budapest. (Budapest was occupied by both the Nazi's and the Soviet's.) The best spot where it all converges is at Liberty Square.
4️⃣. Play in the many parks and fountains!
5️⃣. Take a night time boat tour and see the city from the water! Budapest is best viewed from the water with the sparkling lights and majestic buildings. This was one of our favorite activities!! We booked through www.mypersonalbudapest.com and had an absolute BLAST!
6️⃣. Ride the UNESCO World Heritage funicular up Castle Hill. It costs $11 and your littles will love it.

It almost seems too good to be true…
But… it’s not.
We’re not independently wealthy (although I wish I was!!😂), I don’t have some hedge fund, and we are a blended family of six so those travel costs can rack up quick.
Soooo how in the world can we afford to travel like we do as a family?
POINTS & MILES 🤯
Points & Miles are another form of currency that you can use to book travel and they are *MAGIC*
Like abracadabra, rabbit coming out of the hat, magic!!!! 🌟
So how does it work?
We ditched our debit card years ago and we responsibly and strategically use our credit cards for every purchase.
This means that every-time we use a credit card on anything, we are earning points and miles that we can use to book *steeply* discounted travel (I’m talking 1/10th of the normal cost).
We aren’t in credit card debt, we have a healthy and growing savings and investment accounts, our credit scores are over 800… and I teach hundreds of other families just like yours how to do it too.
If you want to learn about points & miles, but have NO CLUE where to start, I’ve got your back!

Hauling around all that baby crap is NO JOKE and I am embarrassed to admit that I have spent way too much money and time trying out all of the baby travel gear that promises to make my life easier (but it usually doesn’t!) 🤦🏼‍♀️
✈️Here are four things that *actually* do make my life easier when I’m traveling with my babies or toddlers. 👶🏼 ⬇️
✨Want the direct links?! Comment BABY GEAR below! ✨
1. A solid lightweight and durable umbrella stroller with flexible wheels that can lay all of the way down for naps.  
2. A lightweight car seat that meets FAA and EASA requirements, that I CAN CARRY. (Why are some car seats 40lbs?!)  
3. A cheap but durable luggage strap that can connect the car seat and stroller together for crazy easy navigation through the airport!  
4. An iPad holder that connects to the airplane seat with pockets for toys, sippy cups/bottles, and snacks!
It’s only taken us hundreds of flights to figure this combo out but I promise you that it’s about as perfect as they come!
Want the links?! ✨ Comment BABY GEAR below ⬇️✨ and I’ll send them right to you!

Alright, here’s the truth…
There isn’t always going to be some awesome flight deal, or mistake fare for every destination you want to go to!
Wouldn’t that be awesome though? (A girl can dream right?!)💁🏼‍♀️
BUT… there are some things that you can consistently do to help you find and book flights for less. ⬇️
1️⃣ Being flexible with your dates by a day or two will hands down consistently save you the most money (or points!).   I always like to use the “flexible” date calendars for this. Each airline has one, you can also find them on sites like Google Flights or Skyscanner!
2️⃣ Utilize flight aggregators and set up free price trackers!   At any given time I have about 10 flight trackers going for destinations we are dying to visit as a family.   ✨*More on how to do this below!*  
3️⃣ Don’t wait until the last minute. Occasionally you can find great “last minute” fare but this is the exception, not the norm.   According to Travel & Leisure, the typical sweet spot to book airfare is 6-9 months in advance.  
4️⃣ Follow flight deal accounts! These accounts send out flight deals and they can be a great resource!   There are a whole bunch of them that are awesome, here are some of the ones I love and use consistently ⬇️  @flightsfromhome for SLC Based Flights (Hey, hey fellow Utahns!👋🏻) Since we are based out of SLC this is the account I use the most!
 @ashleygetsaround for Business Class Flights
@airfare_spot for International Flights Departing from US
@thepointsanalyst for Business Class Award Flights
➡️If you want to start setting up free price trackers (you do… they are the BEST!)
✨Comment “Google Flights” below✨
and we’ll send you a direct link to our free ⭐️Google Flight Hacks Guide where you’ll learn how to use Google Flights like a pro and save hundreds! ✈️🙌🏻 ♥️
