First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
We stayed at the Marriott on Canal near Bourbon st.

I tried to post this last night in Dallas, but my post did work. I have now 62,906 points at Marriott. I think I can book two rooms for free, somewhere.
ReplyDeleteWhen we took the shuttle to Windham, I saw a Marriott. I wish we could have stayed there and somehow gotten points, even though American Airlines payed for our hotel.
