Where did you go and where did you stay, if you don't mind me asking.

this place February of 2008. I had never been to an "all inclusive" resort, and never really had the desire to go. it was kind of funny, when the HR girl from the company called me to tell me I had won this trip I didn't realize why and what for. I asked if I couldn't just go to a ski resort! then she realized no one had told me I had won that award!

Wow, nice. Sort of like a cruise without being on a ship. Does "unlimited greens fees" mean that you could play golf included in the resort price?

It's way better than a cruise, since all of the drinks (and food, even in the restaurants) are free. I went on a cruise once and didn't care for it.

All the food and non-alcoholic drinks are included on a cruise too. And since I don't drink I don't have a problem with that.

I've been on two cruises... loved em both. Although the food on the Disney cruise was miles better than the Carnival cruise.

haven't a clue as golf is anathema to me. I do know a lot of the people from our company went golfing

here even the alcoholic drinks were free. you could walk from pavilion to bar to whatever, grabbing a drink or a nosh as you went and not drop a dime. I had a massage I had to pay for, the sailing was free as was snorkeling and a bunch of other activities. I had to pay to swim with the dolphins and actually leave the resort to do that

Currently "working". But since I found an internet connected PC in the lab it's more like "Pretending to work. Actually browsing through MobieRead.com and posting in VITs (Very Important Threads)" like the So what are you doing RIGHT NOW thread.

When I went on the Royal Carribean cruise you had to pay for soda, and alcoholic drinks. Buffett was free and sit down dinners were free, but the nicer restaurants you had to pay.

Alchohol, soda, and all food is free in an all inclusive. Since I drink, I love that

Yeah, I shouldn't have singled out my poor Apple! Installation estimations on my Windows PC are no more accurate.

Or in the case of Apple computers, returning later to find the bugger telling you to type in your password to begin the installation.

Feeling a bit tipsy and euphoric after having a beer after getting back from work. It's only been two days, so I still feel good about having a job. The euphoria won't last, but it does look like a nice job so far

Florence, we have a show and tell thread. It would be fitting to see some or your artwork there.
