We Took The Cash!

Well, we aren't in Hawaii yet... We made it to LA though! We are staying in our free hotel, we will soon eat our free dinner, and tomorrow before we board our plane to fly first class to Hawaii we will have a free breakfast! So what happened you may ask...

We made it to LAX just fine, and arrived at the departure gate. As soon as we entered the waiting area we could hear the airline asking for volunteers to be bumped until 8pm tonight. We both looked at each other, wrinkled our noses and continued to wait. Time passes and the calls grow more urgent. We say "Hey, this is our vacation we're not going to waste a minute of it in Los Angeles!" Then an announcement comes over the loud speaker that makes us both look at each other again! Quick words are spoken and I take off for the ticket desk. Others are also starting to make their move toward the desk, but I am quicker! The passengers board, the plane leaves and we wait for the goodies.

Here's the deal: We leave tomorrow at 12:45pm. We get all of the above mentioned... Hotel, dinner, breakfast and first class upgrade for the flight to Hawaii. AND...

$800 dollars EACH, flight vouchers good for one year!


These vouchers are treated 'just like cash' and have no limitations on what type of flight you can use them on. So, we give up 20 hours of Hawaii, 8 of it we would be sleeping anyway and gain $1600.00 worth of free airline tickets.

We are off to have a meal. We'll keep you posted...
