Couple win a luxury holiday to Bermuda
(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - August 1st, 2013 - You thought the number 13 was unlucky? This will change your mind forever. After winning a holiday to Bermuda, Martin Bradley could consider it his lucky charm. The 63 year-old has won a five-night stay for two – on a bed and breakfast basis- courtesy of Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa- in partnership with Harvey Nichols, Classic Collection Holidays and Travel Club Elite.
"It was a real bolt out of the blue," says Mr. Bradley, from County Durham. "I didn't think I would get a holiday this year- especially because my wife doesn't seem to get a lot of time to herself."
The number 13 has strangely cropped up in many aspects of Mr. Bradley's life. He and his wife, Jane, have lived at Number 13 in Chester Le Street, for over 25 years and before that their previous house number was Number 31, which reversed is 13. There is 13 years difference between his two children, as there is between himself and his younger sister. In fact, his birth year of 49 even adds up to the number 13- with 13 letters in his name.
Mr. Bradley's life echoes that of Jim Carrey in the hit movie 'The Number 23' where his character noticed odd connections between the number and his life.
He and his wife opted not to have a honeymoon because they were busy creating a family home and a holiday this year, 2013, looked unlikely, too. They have been married for 31 years, which totals 13 when reversed, too. It was only when they were handed a car repair bill costing £1300 that they decided to enter the competition for a dream holiday to Bermuda. Mr. Bradley's winning entry was no. 166, totalling up to- yes, you've guessed it- 13. The couple are now hoping to spend their holiday relaxing and enjoying the fabulous resort of Cambridge Beaches in Bermuda.
Based on its very own 30 acre peninsula, Cambridge Beaches is a luxurious resort where you can discover a secluded sandy beach around every corner. Lying elegantly off the east coast of America, Bermuda is the oldest of the British Overseas Territories, enjoying a rich history, warmed by the Gulf Stream which gives an idyllically warm and pleasant climate all-year round.
The superb resort boasts a spa, library, and four private beaches, with luxury pastel pink cottages- all with ocean views- scattered around the azure harbour. A playground for the rich and famous, it hosts numerous outdoor leisure activities, such as snorkelling, motor-boarding and windsurfing, perfect for those seeking something special for a week away. The Bradley’s will also be given a complimentary VIP lounge pass before they jet off from Gatwick Airport- courtesy of Classic Collection Holidays, with one of the return flights paid for courtesy of Travel Club Elite.
"My wife intends to make full use of the spa and all the facilities to unwind, rest and recharge. I would love to go scuba diving, to explore the reefs," says Mr. Bradley.
"Our annual holiday usually consists of driving to France or occasionally Spain, with a couple of teenagers in tow, looking to be entertained all the time. We would never have considered Bermuda and winning this prize is just amazing. I still find it difficult to believe."
Mr. Bradley will attend a special prize-giving presentation at the Harvey Nichols store in Birmingham on the 27th July at 11am.
He added: "We would just like to also say a great big thank you to Travel Club Elite and their partners for providing such a wonderful prize." For the Bradley's, 2013 could be their luckiest year.
