Yes, I want the upgrade!

Monday, February 10.  Hi everyone!  After a pretty normal morning of one golf lesson, a workout, and a very average lunch, I got on a plane to Florida.  I got one of those $8 tickets on Spirit Airlines so I thought, what the heck.  So I'll be here in Fort Myers Beach until Thursday morning.  

The flight went smoothly and I did some reading and some relaxing.  Sat in first class too.  On these cheap flights when you check in, they'll ask if you want to go to first class for $50.  Well since I only paid $8 for the flight, it was a pretty easy answer!  Yes!  Arriving at Fort Myers was when the idea for today's new thing came to me.  

As I went to the Budget Rental Car counter to get my already reserved, Priceline special rate mid-sized boring car, the same thing that always enters my head entered my head.  "I won't let them screw me with all the extras...insurance, pre-paying for gas, etc"  But this time the question from the sales person was "Would you like to upgrade to a convertible for $15 extra dollars a day?"

My usual answer for these types of questions are, as I pointed out earlier, "NO!!!!!"  After all, I will not let them screw me over.  But this time, I thought for a second and said, "Sure!"  It felt good to say what the hell.  It's only two days.  I don't want to be silly extravagant with living, but once in a while, why not.  I felt good about it and went outside to pick up my Mitsubishi Spyder.  I popped the top, and drove off into the warm Florida night with a big smile on my face.

Until tomorrow friends!  Have fun, enjoy each moment 'cause it'll pass if you don't!
