This week, we wanted to share part of the letter we received from our lucky Super Bowl ticket winners! Here are some excerpts from Marlene and Bob Dreifke's thank you letter to Tripod:

"The trip was as near perfect as anyone has a right to ask for! We arrived in sunny Florida to weather about 50 degrees warmer than home!

We went to South Beach on Friday night for the Player's Party. It stretched for blocks and blocks. It reminded me of Mardi Gras -- partying on the sidewalks, in the street, and on the beach. The highlight Friday was running into Antonio Freeman of the Green Bay Packers! We told him about winning the trip, and how we wished he was playing. He agreed, and promised to get there next year! Don't suppose we can work out another trip, huh??

Our seats were about 50 feet from Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw, and the guys doing the live broadcast. We got to watch them being pampered and primped before each segment of the broadcast. The pre-game and half-time shows were tremendous!

We had a quiet evening Monday and headed home on Tuesday. It was a little difficult to leave the 70+ degree temperatures to come home to snow flurries and less than 20 degree weather, but as all Wisconsinites do, we adapted.

One last time, Bob and I want to thank Tripod, Golf Vacations, TWA (even though they lost our luggage!), Embassy Suites, and anyone else who helped make this trip happen. It was really appreciated and won't be forgotten! I told everyone how we got there.

You guys are great!!

Marlene and Bob Dreifke"

Aw, shucks.
