For my housing in MA, I wanted to live in the Residence Inn Marriott. I am 50 nights away from earning Lifetime Platinum Elite Status with Marriott. By staying at this hotel for my assignment, I will earn this lifetime status. This is beneficial for when I travel abroad during my off time. As a platinum elite member I am able to get free breakfast at Marriott, free room upgrades, lounge access, late checkout etc.
Plus I dont mind staying at the Residence Inn since it has a kitchen. Not to mention all of the marriott points I will be earning. Fortunately, there is a residence inn 15 minutes from my work site.
For my rental car, I used National like usual. Since I flew into a relatively small airport (Hartford, CT), I knew I would have many nice car options. Since I am going out of town for 4th of July, I needed a car initially just for 3 weeks. I selected the new 2024 mustang convertible. I figured it would be fun with the nice weather. Also, it’s sporty and I love hearing the engine (even from just turning on the car).
