A long-awaited vacation

Around Christmas last year, I got an email that said 'Come Chill Off the Grid'. It was from Marlboro. I signed up for a membership with Marlboro as soon as I turned 21, so I could get coupons. I get nifty things like sunglasses, pocket ashtrays, bottle openers, etc. Anyways, when I first saw the email, I almost trashed it. Something told me that I needed to read it first. It said I had won a trip, and had a phone number and an RSVP code. I almost thought it was a joke, but I figured, what the heck. I'll call it and see if it's legit. I've received offers in the mail about free trips, and they've always expected me to buy something, so I refused. During our brief conversation, I was able to deduce that it was real - I won a 4 day, 3 night trip for myself and a guest (Hubs, of course!) to the Marlboro Ranch in Montana. I rarely win anything awesome like this, so I was completely shocked. The most expensive thing I've ever won was tickets to Cirque Du Soleil....
