Adam and I's ONE year anniversary is 12 days from today. It has been our goal from day 1 of marriage to do something special for our anniversary every year. Whether it is just a weekend trip to a B&B, a nice hotel for the night, or a real vacation. Well... Adam and I are pretty much obsessed with vacationing, probably like most people, but I am slightly insane about it (checking deals constantly even if there is no $$ or special occasion coming up).
With all this being said, we had tentatively planned to go to Jamaica for our anniversary. I had found a few deals that were 4 nights in a 4 star resort for about $850/person (all-inclusive with Flight). Not bad right? Well, just before we actually booked Jamaica, I got moved to the Florida territory... which got us thinking.... we could come to FL, probably with free flights and work it out to be a lot cheaper than Jamaica. So that is what we settled on. I have to admit, I have not been too excited about Florida for our 1 year because I am here every week, and we hadn't planned anything out and I couldn't decide on what or where we should go.
So, I finally figured it out last night (I was up until 2am researching hotel/reviews/places, etc. etc.) - told you I am a freak... so here is the plan:
-I am already going to be in Florida next week (so free flight for me).
-Adam gets into Ft. Lauderdale on Wednesday night- and we are going to stay at my hotel (work paid... and did I mention Adam's flight is free too?).
-Thursday morning- we are going to drive to Key West! We are super excited because Key West is about a 3 hour drive all along A1A- down through the ocean, small islands, etc. We are pretty pumped about this mini-road trip. Oh and did I mention the rental car is free too??
-We will arrive in Key West on Thursday and are staying HERE. I cashed in my rewards on my CC and so the difference is only about $20o.00 left for us to pay.... (if you don't have a good rewards card, get one!)
-We are in Key West until Sunday then will drive back up the coast to Ft. Lauderdale, where I pricelined an amazing hotel on the beach for $110.00/night (but this will be work paid as well).
-And Adam is there until Tuesday morning when I drop him off and stay to work until Thursday night...
We are pretty pumped about this last-minute, cheapo, luxury vaca. Not bad!!!!!!
