It all began with a knock at the door, a smart tap that meant business. With a hearty sigh I allow my face to fall into my hands as I debate answering the door or not. The lipstick and eyeliner from last night are still on my face as is the slinky blue dress I wore to the bar. Despite my best efforts I came home alone and very drunk. Now hungover I waddle my way to the door and inhale sharply. Tall for a woman, 5'9" with hourglass curves and full C cup breasts. My recent hair cut turned my strawberry blonde cut into the below the ear style made famous by the Kate woman with her eight kids. I stop long enough to kick off my wedges and take a deep breath. I'm every inch the under slept and over worked mess you can imagine myself to be.

"Maybe it's a vacation..."

I slowly open the door and the bright lights of the early morning fill my eyes and temporarily blind me. Allowing myself time to adjust I take in the entirety of what I'm seeing and pause with my hands fluttering in front of my chest.

"Are you sure this is the place?" The man in the blue suit askes. Holly the assistant looks at the address again. " Yeah this is the place. Phil the driver gets out of the van. And looks at the trailer. He turns and looks at the mailbox.

He nods his head. He looks back at the van. "10032 Binkle Dr."he calls out.

Holly and the man in the blue suit get out. Holly grabs the big sign "YOU WIN BIG!" Phil returns to the van and gets the lights and camera. They look at the old trailer. Holly turns to Phil. " Make sure you get that thing in her face fast. Doug will make his big speech. We give her the prize and get out of here."

Doug, moves over to the side mirror of the van and straightens out a few fly away hairs. Then joins Holly and Phil. Then the three of them walk up to the trailer. Doug knocks on the door. As it opens. Holly calls out. "YOU WIN BIG!"

Phil points the camera in the woman's face. Doug starts right in. "Congradulations you won an all exspense payed trip to Florida, Cuba and Haiti. And that is just the first week. Then its off to exciting Columbia, Hondruras, and Panama. But that is not all! For you last two weeks we will sail you to to the Eastern Caribbean. AND we throw in $1,000 spending money."

Doug pauses. Then adds. "WHY, you ask?" He looks at the woman. "Because you were the 1,000,000 subcriber to GOOD TRAILERS and BUSH GARDENS magizines. "

As the three people go on about their sales pitch I can hardly register anything. Vacation? Spending money? Holy hell! I throw my arms around the man in front of me with tears practically in my eyes. After peeling me off of them they place a giant folder into my hands and tell me whom to call in order to set up my vacations. I swear I slapped myself to prove I wasn't dreaming.

"This is so amazing, thank you all so much! Oh my god!"

It's hard to even begin to describe the emotions and feelings I had to contend with. Being a just awoken and hung over mess I was all Over the place that day.

Doug gives her his best fake smile. " Well you just won big. Holly here will tell you more details on your trip. Nice to meet you!" Doug straightens out his blue suit and heads for the van. He looks over at Phil. "You got to get that camera closer to there faces. They like to jump on me. I don't like poeple jumping on me!"

Doug and Phil walk slowly back to the van while Holly tells the woman about the trip.

Holly hands the woman the big sign and the giant folder. "All your documents are in this folder. Your American passport your visas. Your guest passes and your plane tickets. Your boarding passes for the ship. Your check for $1,000 and we threw in $300 dollors in gambling chips" Holly pauses.

"You get all of that?" She askes. "Your plane takes off at 2 AM from Brookfield Airport. Your pilot's name is Chuck. You will be flying on Brown Bunny Airlines. "
The BBA terminal is at the end of the runway. Have a great trip." Holly starts to walk away, then stops and walks back to her.

"Buy your gun on Market street in Havana. You will need it!" She turns and walks back toward the van.
