For my birthday, mother’s day, and our wedding anniversary Michael whisked me away to Key West Florida for a romantic getaway. We got a great recommendation from Michael’s boss to fly into Miami and drive through the Key’s in a convertible.
We had a blast, one breath taking view after the next that is of course after we got out of Miami rush hour traffic! It was great driving through the Everglades although we didn’t see any gators! It has a wonderful scent of sulfur which in my pregnant state I found to be absolutely heavenly. We also watched the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico, which was absolutely stunning.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our hotel and found we were upgraded to a suite which was the most gorgeous place we’ve stayed in. The suite normally runs $300 a night or a total value of $700! Because we were upgraded to a suite there was a refrigerator, we were able to purchase groceries so we wouldn’t have to spend money eating lunch and snacks.
Since Michael is platinum so we also got free breakfast every morning which is a $35 dollar value for 4 days for a total value of $140. We also came down on free flights which normally run $605 per person and also cashed in a $75 gift certificate from Hertz to pay for our rental car and over the weekend we’ve been spending our $75 Marriott gift certificate on dinners. The total value of all these free bees is $2700!

I am so JEALOUS!!!! But I am also so happy for you and I really hope you have been having a relaxing and great time! :D
I'm soooo jealous!!!!
I was just going to say "I'm so jealous," but Rose and the Kirk Family already did, so maybe I should be more original then and say: "I totally envy you!!!" :P Anyway, that's awesome. I'm so glad you got to go on such a fun trip!! I need to do that, thanks for the tips!
