25 Days in the American Continent: 6 countries

 

Mitch and I decided to travel in order for him to meet my family, but also because of my friends Mabel & David wedding. After finding the price was cad +$1,300 I decided to instead buy different stops with the opportunity of paying less and spending few days in different countries. And it certainly was cheaper, the trick: book with ultra low cost airlines like: Flair, Spirit, Jet Blue and Wingo. All our hotels were totally free, as we used our welcome points of our credit card, here is a referral if you also want to enjoy FREE Marriott hotels: https://americanexpress.com/en-ca/referral/aWILDRHKZu?XL=MNMNS
