A Reunion at the Hampton? Why Not?!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

Being an expat in a foreign land meant that we had to be away  from family and friends. It also meant us having to miss lots of family and class reunions, and other important occasions like a friend's wedding, anniversary celebration, baby shower, all those stuff that happen only once. I know that my parents had given up a lot of opportunities to be with their friends because they just can't come due to our location. And so I am thinking, instead of going back to their hometown, they could just bring their friends and relatives here for a grand reunion.

I know it sounds quite extravagant but because it could happen only once, it should take place in a very memorable reception right? But it is the SUMMER season and hotel rates are at its peak at this time of the year. The only way to get around the expenses is by joining the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. Who knows, they could be the one lucky grand prize winner who will win an entire hotel for the weekend and have a prime reception to reconnect with friends. Yes, that's an entire hotel or 100 rooms for 2 nights. And what's more, the grand prize winner will receive $5,000 to cover for other costs and taxes incurred during their stay at the hotel. That means all expenses are covered, except of course for the plane tickets!

If you are not the lucky one, you still have a chance to win one of the 100 First Prize winners who will receive a weekend stay given away  daily for the winner and three of their friends. Everyone is welcome to join the sweepstakes. You do not need to be a Hilton Honors member nor do you need to have stayed at a Hampton in order to join the sweepstakes.

What if I am the lucky grand prize winner? I would gladly offer the prize to my parents. They badly need to have some time to unwind and reconnect with their friends. I know they miss their friends in college and some of our close relatives and there's also a lot going on with their friends' lives that they have lost track of. A weekend at the Hampton will be the perfect way to catch up.

How about you? What would you do if you won a hotel for the weekend? Time to start planning!

Summer Time, Vacation Time

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Kissimmee Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine.

Summer is officially here, and that means vacation time for me and the family. I don't know where we're going this summer but I would definitely love it if we go somewhere that has everything for the entire family. Last summer, we went to different countries in Europe and I must admit, the long drives and the moving around disoriented and exhausted me. How I wish we could just go somewhere where we could just access numerous attractions and do various activities in just one place, just like in Kissimmee, the heart of Florida.

Did you know that there are lots of fun and memorable things to be had by the entire family at Kissimme? I already have a number of things in mind should we get the chance to vacation in this area.

 

1. Go on a boating expedition in an airboat on Lake Tahoe with the family. And then perhaps, a little fishing on the side.

2. Visit Walt Disney World. We have been to the Tokyo Disney Resorts in Japan two months ago. There is just something magical in this place!

3. Explore the creatures of the sea and ocean at the SeaWorld Orlando. Marine life has always fascinated me and the family. It would be nice to see them up close.

4. Have a hot air balloon experience and watch the beautiful sunrise! An excursion of Florida from a bird's eye view is a refreshing and exciting adventure.

5. Take the heritage trail and experience living in Florida as it once was: live in the Cracker House, work in the sugar cane mill and blacksmith shop, shop in a 1900 general store.

The above-mentioned activities are just some of the things that I am sure me and my family will love. If you are planning your dream vacation too, why not check Kissimmee in Florida out? There are lots of wonderful stuff in store for you, and each is guaranteed to give you lots of beautiful memories to last a lifetime.
