Hotels.com: Retro beach vacation? You had me at beach

Retro seashore family vacation? You had me at beach front.

On 1st glance, the Motels.com give to pay you $15,000 as a Retro Beach Motelier sounds like a minor fewer than paradise. I generally hardly ever continue to be in a motel. But then, did not “Schitt’s Creek” make motels amazing yet again? I feel that’s truly worth some thought.

Motels.com has a contest to send out one particular individual to the most effective retro beach front motels across the U.S. – places like The Pearl Lodge in San Diego and the Vagabond Lodge in Miami.

The winner of the gig receives a $10k stipend to travel back in time, a $5k income to devote on beachside snacks, and previous-college seaside components like a striped umbrella, classic sunglasses, a photo voltaic-driven AM/FM radio and a Polaroid digicam.

I entirely now rock the huge sun shades and significant-waisted swimsuits so this seems like a work that I’ve been making ready for my whole daily life. And I’m a journalist. I’ve even penned a humor guide – so I completely know how to have a very good time and make enjoyable of myself at the expense of a excellent column or photo.

Okay, absolutely sure, I’m betting a ton of 20-a little something Instagramers will be lining up for this opp. But hey, there is some thing to be said for a 45-year-previous with a lovable shih tzu sidekick who absolutely understands how to use a Polaroid camera.

Not to point out that I entirely now rock the selfie – but my Insta and Fb accounts are personal so …. But my dog’s Insta is general public so it’s possible they’ll see a thing there.

All I’m saying is that I’m fully down for the retro seashore experience – and prepared to embrace the appear and feel of the ’50s. I necessarily mean my shih tzu sidekick is entirely product materials – and my mates are so enjoyable and would completely like to appear along for the experience (not to mention the interesting picture ops).

Occur on Inns.com, you know you want to choose this old lady to hit the road. I’ve received my weekender bag all set.
