She's Raising The Bar, a June 2025 Copper Creek Trip Report (Updated 8/14)

Since apparently you hadn't yet booked next year's flight, how did you know for what time to reserve the rental Jeep for next year?

I'm looking forward to reading about your plans for next year's trip.

Wow, sounds like those flight attendants really had an "off" day! But making it home safe is the important part. I very much enjoy your TR's - so glad you take the time to write and share them. Your pictures, especially of the WL, are so pretty. I'll watch for your wrap up and plans for next year!

We then made our way to the airport and dropped the car off at 3:52 and it was super easy. We have been having great luck with Alamo, and this rental was only $360 for the whole week.

This is a great price. We always seem to pay too much because of add-ons like insurance coverage.

For the first time in the history of ever there was NO ONE in front of us in line at TSA

This was a Monday, right? I would think there would be a lot of people flying somewhere at that time of the day.

Since I had time to kill I played online and wound up booking a rental car for the same week next year.

Is the price guaranteed?

I gladly purchased the wifi then fell asleep while we waited to take off. We sat at the gate until 7:47 when we finally pushed back and took off at 7:58. At least I got in a good little snooze. I always fall asleep as soon as we get on the plane to head home. I guess it all catches up with me.

That was a lot of sitting in a plane. You were lucky to have cozy seats. But the people in the cheap seats were probably miserable. We fly United when we went to California last year. There is no leg room in those seats and my 6'5" son and 6'3" husband were miserable.

That is so slick, no matter what time wound up getting home it was great to have our car sitting right outside the terminal. The drive home wasn't too bad, and we made it there by 1AM.

That was worth every penny.

Absolutely love your trip reports! The pictures are amazing, we love Copper creek so much we also just bought more points and closed yesterday. Can’t wait for the points to load. How is your last purchase going so far?

Sorry to hear of the of this last flight experience, it’s seems so off. We are fortunate to have decent prices from Delta here in MN as that’s our usual airline. With American Express the points add up for credits quite nicely!

Can’t wait for the final update. Trip reports are great to read to help pass the time until the next trip.

I highly recommend using Costco Travel to reserve a car with Alamo, it’s so simple and the deals are great

WOW! Great tip and excellent price, thank you!
