well we won a free trip this summer @ six flags, people were handling some scratch tickets and of course there's always a catch! but whatever, this is the second time we "won" so might as well give it a try, in order to get your "free trip" you have to go to Oak n Spruce Resort MA, and sit for a 90 min presentation, I was thinking it was some powerpoint stuff, so first of all we are going to be checked in a hotel, which is for our case the comfort inn suite at Berkshire MA. We are going to pay 90$ for processing fee or something, but that $90 +tax they will give us 40$ Visa card and 3 days to night free stay in the said hotel +3days 2nights stay in one of 25 cities of choice. So i was thinking $90 bucks which is basically $50 bucks for a hotel stay ok why not try. SO after that i received calls from them and some mails to set up the vacation i figured to go dec but something came up and we moved it to Jan, Btw it's not true that you can go "Whenever" coz they set up this presentations at certain dates so you have to work with the person who will call you when is the best time for both parties.
SO we went the hotel we stayed was nice, we upgraded our room which cost us another $45/night but it's just i felt like it'say more better than the ones they're going to give us. Breakfast was continental, i just didn't like the fake scrambled eggs and the refrigerated boiled eggs but the do it yourself waffles are fantastic! lol
Our first night, we arrived at the hotel around 4:30 checked in and then went out to find a place to eat i was craving for sea food so bad, so we checked this place out
it was ok not that great but everything was prepared fresh :)
then we went for a swim at the hotel they have nice pool and a whirlpool which i really loved!
then we got hungry again! hahahahahha i think we can never escape fast food huh?
Then we bought alcohol, a small bottle of henney and patron and 6 pack of smirnoff.
The next day was our scheduled presentation at 10 30, we drove to Oak n spruce resort and soembody came up to us escorted us to the were all other people are, then started the "presentation" this guy talked to us about their offers, it's like timeshare but not, so i was sure i don't want to get it simply because i don't think it's worth it, down payment and monthly payment and all that stuffs my advice is if you don't want to get straight up say at the first place ur not interested at all that way they don't have to call all this people in to taking to you and offering you "greater deals"
after that we received our vacation voucher and the $40 visa which i used for gas lol and the vacation voucher i don't know yet when we will use it or where we will g and also a free day pass at the resort. we got there at 10 30am we left around almost 2 so it's not a 90mins process trust me, but the guys who talked to us was nice and entertaining. i felt pressured tho.
anyway after that we went to Lee Outlet few miles up the road, got some swim suit, hoodies and shirts at aero sweats. Arrgghhh went shopping again hmppp! but i saved a lot tho they had a lot of sale going on, people are nice too...
we ate lunch at the foodcourt i had some hotdog sandwhich and fries and he got a slice of pizza
then took a nap.
Dinner at Berkshire Brewery! oh my food is awesome!
then went swimming again, just sucks that i was able to use the new swim suit i bought since they forgot to take off the alarm lock so i had to go back the next day for them to take it out,
the next morning we went to friendly's for breakfast then checked out ski butternut which is just few miles up the road from the hotel if only we had our snow suit. :(
anyway when we got back from Mass, we watched UNDERWORLD the awakening, and it was a good movie!
it wasn't a extravagant far away place but we did enjoyed ourselves, just us two.. we always had road trips with our friends but never alone so we really had fun and get to spend quality time together.
All in ALL i had a great weekend!
