No, it wasn't- I agree. If I'm paying a lot for the hotel or the flight,
then I'll cut back on other things. If I'm paying less for the hotel and
flight, then I'll spend more on other things- simple as that! :)
I haven't decided if there trip was virtual or not yet, but I've decided
not to get involved this time around! :)

To my mind, it was real except for the bits about McDonalds, spaghetti
etc., which were calculated to annoy because they know it teases. Of
course they could have just copied the whole thing from somewhere else and
inserted the fast-food references.
Either way, it's a very skilful troll. We should be proud to have them on
our group.

One easy way to check the veracity is to ask them
for their Cosmos customer number.
They need not give the whole, insert some XXXs,
but like your service number it should be in the ball park area.

The actual cost of our 30-day trip was $10,295.50 including the
optional things and airfare. The rest was for incidentals like car
rentals to and from JFK, gifts for the kids and the jewelry we bought,
oh, and the new shoes and things.
