Guess what! As a bonus for making it through The Shittiest Month Ever, we are going on a FREE vacation at this place: [link] DH (and guest) was invited to cover a four-day luxury Land Rover Off Road Driving "Experience." They pay all expenses, including airfare, give us a Land Rover and driving instructor and we stay in a fancy suite AND get a free spa visit, too. Oh, bless rich people who pay insane amounts for these kinds of things, thus allowing journalists to freeload.
That is where I am staying when I'm in Moab in October! My friends are springing for the last two nights of our week in Utah, because, while I was willing to pay for nice lodges throughout (and even Mandalay Bay in Vegas), I drew the line at that place.
