So how did this trip come to be.. anyone who knows Emmy knows she has wanted to see a show on Broadway in NYC for a long time. She has always hoped that we could do it for her 16th birthday and that had been the plan until...... her dad got an email in late 2019 from Hilton Rewards. You see Jason does an awful lot of traveling and as you know by reading our blog, we always stay at the Hilton chain hotels while he, or we all travel. All those hotel nights add up to points.. sometimes lots of points. Hilton sends the Platinum and Diamond members (like Jason) who have accumulated an abundance points emails , advertising special special offers on which they can bid for trips or prizes, on which to use those points. We have never bid on an offer before, until.... something caught Jason's eye.... A prize package for tickets for 2 to see Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway on Friday January 31, 2020, with a cast meet and greet, and signed playbill, and a gift package. So he messaged me about the package and the dates ( which just happened to be right after she finished exams and when she would only miss one day of school), and then he pressed the bid button, and then before we knew it a second email came in that said.. CONGRATULATIONS you have been selected!!!! We immediately booked 3 nights hotel in the NYC Theatre District (on points), and booked 2 flights on Southwest Airlines to LaGuardia (on points), and now Emmy and I are packed and ready for our Broadway adventure. Part of the Hilton Prize arrived by FEDEX this past week. Hats, Water Bottles, Deluxe CD's, and our instructions on what to do the night of the show. So.. we are packed and ready... and in 24 hours it will all begin!!!!
