Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That doesn't sound crazy to me for US dollars, all-inclusive with spa credits. I spent something a little under that for Mexico all-inclusive, no spa, and the food was only ok. Maybe a third of that for a place in Jamaica where the food was just not good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't speak for time, but you can get a round trip ticket to Jamaica in the off season for $300 from a NY airport. You're lucky that way. I had a cousin who was always taking $750 extra-bargain long weekends from the DC area. Never been practical for me.

Yep. But TNT streams it, I think, a few nights later.

Ah, not soon. Can't speak for flight prices, then.

Couples in Ocho Rios. At the time, this was five years ago, they had a last-minute deal where you could stay at a resort of their choosing for something like $150 pp/night, and you could book it like six days in advance. Now that deal costs more than twice that: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Y'all are acting as I Dollywood weren't a factor here. Dude. DOLLYWOOD.

Unsurprisingly, I've never stayed at Couples. I notice some incredibly low prices at Sandals, but I've not been to the cheaper locations. They're traditionally all-inclusive--but for $112?

The best eatings I've had was probably at FDR, which is a family resort I got insane low rates at--under $100 a night for some of the best service I've had anywhere at any price. Now $650 there gets you three bedrooms facing the ocean.
