SWEETSER, Ind. (WTHR) – Ever wish you could hit the reset button on your vacation?
Well, a lucky family from Sweetser, Indiana won a "Vacation Do Over!"
The American Society of Travel Advisors announced that the Freemyer family won up to $10,000 for a trip of their dreams.
To enter the campaign, applicants had to submit the bad vacation stories.
“We pored over hundreds of submissions to arrive at our decision,” said Erika Richter, Director of Communications at ASTA. “It was a difficult decision to make because there are so many bad vacation stories out there! We wish we could re-do them all, but ultimately our internal selection committee decided that the Freemyer family is the winner and we couldn’t be more thrilled see the rest of their journey unfold”.
In their submission, Stephanie Freemyer described their failed honeymoon and after looking at hundreds of submissions, ASTA chose the Freemyer family for a "Vacation Do Over."
“We’re still in shock,” said Stephanie Freemyer. “Our failed honeymoon was years ago and there were so many parts of it that were epically bad. People kept telling us, ‘it only gets better,’ but each day kept getting worse until it literally ended in flames. Now we have two young boys who can join us on this vacation do over and we’re excited to make memories that will last forever. Thank you ASTA!”
