A quick summary of our 4-day trip to Mexico City! For Laurie and I, it was our first time visiting Mexico City. The visit meant different things to each of us. For Laurie, it was a cultural homecoming, one rooted in wanting to rediscover her roots that she didn’t get to complete in her youth.…
We saved $1000! ✈️ Flight from IAD to MEX on @united with @aircanada miles from American Express and Capital One. We transferred a total of 50,000 Amex and Capital One miles to our AirCanada loyalty account to book our original seats.

How we travel-hacked our $20,000 honeymoon, only paying a fraction of the cost out-of-pocket. Travel-hacking our honeymoon began in the early stages of our wedding planning.
