Like winning a contest...

I got a personal invitation from the President/co-founder of a well-known luxury travel website to enjoy 3 nts near Austin, Texas. The group is only her+husband, 5 couples and the CEO of the hotel group. The resort is Travaasa and it's a little on the zen/tranquil side. It looks absolutely gorjus!
I get to bring a guest (Boss is top of my list, always!). All meals, activities (yep they got a mechanical bull and a challenge course--won't find me up there!) and it just happens to be when we have vacation. I rescheduled our Brasil trip (hey this one's free!) I'm looking forward to tequila tasting, horseback riding, roping and spa treatments (one per person per day--OH YEAH!!) And some fine cuisine.
Top it all off, it will be our 8th anniversary and Cinco de Mayo.
They offered airfare on WN and B6 but not good options for us in CVG so we'll stick w/DL. Too bad; we wanted to try B6.
All we have to do is a little social media with their ipads--reviews, pics and posts during our stay. Should be oodles of FUN!
I feel really fortunate to be a part of a special "party".

Very nice, sometimes the stars do align. And don’t forget to review Travaasa here too.
One more thing, drinking while horseback/mechanical bull riding, running an obstacle course is very difficult-take a sip cup (oh yeah) completely eliminates the spills. ROTFL!;)
Yee-haw!

I may have to buy a sippy cup just for the BULL... HA!!
My plan is horseback sans tequila. Ky girls can ride sober! (maybe the horses can't?)
