   You could probably still get some kind of credit if you use your AMEX   
   card at whatever hotel you book.  Most of Florida will likely cost more   
   than what I quoted; I usually stop somewhere heading out into the   
   mid-west... I travel from Ohio to Minnesota annually and a few other   
   trips.  Do you travel often?   
      
   I used to to Pensacola, Florida at the end of April annually.  The last   
   two April's, the car meet that I went to was canceled due to COVID.  If   
   it's canceled again this year, since my birthday is at the end of April,   
   I'm heading down there anyway!  Pensacola is beautiful that time of   
   year.  It's on the gulf; the tip of the FL panhandle; near Alabama.
