Yes: in two weeks, myself and a friend will be heading to a mystery resort in Punta Cana, to eat, drink, and be merry for five glorious nights! I'm beyond excited. The deal that I went with is the Six Golden Apple deal from Apple Vacations; essentially, for a lower price, you book a vacation with all details except the hotel, and Apple Vacations chooses one for you the day before you leave based on availability. Each hotel is at least a six-star quality resort--guaranteed--and after looking at all the possible options, I'm ok with not knowing, as they all look AMAZING. And, each resort is all-inclusive, so I can really relax knowing it's all been paid for.
And finally, to top it off, I received my travel documents last week and saw that we're flying FIRST CLASS for every leg. I was elated, then suspicious, wondering if I could have paid less, and wondering why my travel agent didn't ask me if I wanted first class. After emailing her, she said that the first class seats ended up being cheaper overall than coach. Go figure! I'm back to elated, and think it will be the perfect way to start the vacation.
But it's still two long weeks of work away. So, in the meantime, I will have to suffice with this picture to get me in the mood:
