About Me (Barbara Weibel)

Barbara Weibel After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside.

San Juan Marriott Resort in Puerto Rico is saying Merry Christmas with a Twitter scavenger hunt that will provide a free three-day stay at the resort for five lucky winners.

Beginning tomorrow morning and continuing for each of the five days leading up to Christmas, the hotel will tweet a holiday item at 10:00 a.m. EST.  The first Twitter follower who replies to @SanJuanMarriott each day with a picture of the item (via TwitPic, Tweetphoto or otherwise) will receive a complimentary three-day, two-night stay.

Additionally, anyone who tweets all five pictures of the requested scavenger hunt items (one per day) will receive a free room upgrade on their next visit to the San Juan Marriott Resort – valid throughout 2010.

While the tweeted items may not be lords a-leaping, swans a-swimming or a partridge in a pear tree, the resort claims to have selected some unique items that will make the scavenger hunt fun. Contestants who submit photos must be followers of @SanJuanMarriott on Twitter in order to be eligible for the prize.

    I’ve stayed at this property and must admit that it offers gorgeous views and one of the hottest places for nightlife in San Juan. The rooms were fantastic and the mojitos were the best I’ve ever tasted.
