I WON A TRIP TO TAMPA!!!

So I FINALLY did it! I WON a radio call-in contest! I've been trying since we moved to Florida, because I was so amazed at the big ticket items they give away! So I'm going to recount everything as it occurred:
I remembered today that Majic 102.7 (The local Oldies Station) had emailed me because I am a member of their Majic Fun Club (just keep reading, being a member is worth it!) Their email conveniently gave me the inside scoop of exactly when the 'song of the day' was going to play (one of the perks of the Majic Fun club). Each day this week, they give away one prize of $500.00, and the other is a Tampa Bay 2 nights for 2 getaway. I always make a conscious choice to go for the trip, because it is something we usually couldn't afford. Today I took a breather-break from work around 4:40pm, when I suddenly realized the song of the day was supposed to play at 4:45! I rushed back to my desk and programmed the radio station number into my desk phone. (I got superstitious about using the office phone since on it I had been caller 1, 3, and 6 (and a one-time- winner-on-a-different-radio-station-only-to-be-thwarted-by-my-age, but that's a different story). So I started calling a 4:43. But the radio station was behind--it was playing some song by the Supremes well into the 4:45 minute, not the song of the day: 8 Days a Week, by the Beatles. So the song finally ended, and I rang once. Busy. Then I redialed...and it RANG! Then they were asking me my name, and I was wondering why. Usually the just say what caller number you are. Then I realized he was telling me I won! He told me all the stuff it included, but I couldn't even hear it. I was all shaky and was trying to remember my name and what radio station I was listening to since I knew they were about to put me on the air, and I was trying very hard not to embarrass myself! So from what I remember, I won a 3 day, 2 night two person suite at a Private Resort in Tampa Bay on a golf course and country club, including a Spa Package for two, at over $1000 value! We are attaching the link they gave me so you can all be jealous! Anyway, it is supposed to be available to us sometime in mid-June (sounds like it will work perfect for our annual anniversary trip!) So I was so excited, as you can tell, and it was the perfect anniversary/birthday present for us!
