Wow, I am awe right now and so incredibly grateful to be enjoying a relaxing weekend getaway only a couple hours from home at Terranea Resort. This vacation is all compliments of Klout. Even my journey up here was sponsored by Klout. For being an influencer in “Travel & Transportation” I was rewarded an @Amtrak gift card. I used it to get up to Irvine . I decided to upgrade to Business Class for only $10 more. What a great deal! Complimentary wine, snacks, roomy seats and a great view. When I arrive in Irvine, @ShannonSmith and @Hoda007 picked me up and together we all made our way over to paradise in LA!

I’ve talked about Klout before. I discussed how Klout can be a useful tool. I’ve also posted about Klout for businesses. Today I want to share my adventures of a Klout Perks weekend getaway! As soon as I checked in, I was greeted with a welcome glass of champagne. Then I headed to my room with a gorgeous ocean view.

 To give you guys an even better idea of how I’m spending my weekend, here’s a virtual  tour of my home for the weekend.

After getting settled, I stopped by their Asian restaurant, Bashi for a small snack. Before I knew it, it was time for the opening reception party. Terranea had many surprises in store for us. They rewarded each of us with a $200 room credit to use this weekend. They also announced a scavenger hunt/passport game to find the next Terranea Ambassador. The Ambassador receives a complimentary weekend stay + $200 credit one weekend a month for an entire year! Let the games begin because I am going to be the perfect Terranea Ambassador!

After the reception, I freshened up in my room and met up with some of the Klout crew for dinner at Nelson’s. Check out this Giant Pretzel that’s bigger than my head! Yes this pretzel is on our passport list.

Now I’m back in my room, lounging, relaxing, watching tv while blogging and getting ready for bed so I can wake up bright an early for a yoga class. I trust everyone is enjoying their weekend. I know I am. Stay tuned for more posts, tweets and updates on my weekend getaway at Terranea Resort.
