I’m a planner. Check that. I’m an over planner. Right now I’m knee deep in the planning stages of our next great family vacation and I’m so excited! If you can keep a secret I’ll tell you where we are headed. Are you ready? California!
Yup! My kids are going to flip!
The warm balmy breezes of Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach are calling – and the fact that these completely Instagram worthy beach towns are but a short hour and a half from Hollywood doesn’t hurt either. There’s so much to do and explore in sunny California I just know it’s the perfect choice for our next adventure.

So where do I start my vacation planning? This tool offers members the ability to conveniently book car rentals and hotel stays all in one spot while earning 4 Aeroplan Miles per dollar spent on all cash bookings. Hello, how could you not take advantage of earning miles this easily?
I was in California last year and had one of those trips you never forget. We went to Los Angeles, toured the Hollywood Hills to check out how the other half live, shopped til we dropped on Rodeo Drive, made a trek out to Santa Monica, and walked until our feet ached. This time around, along with looking at flights and hotel, I’ll be including a car rental in our plans to make this trip into a true dream vacation. Sometimes having your “own” car just gives you more freedom.
Here’s what happens when you visit Aeroplan’s site:
Members have access to hotel and car inventory around the world at competitive rates, so you can go and stay wherever you like. And, with the flexibility to book and pay for reservations with either cash or miles, travel has never been easier and more achievable.
