why wouldn't you want an all expense paid weekend with usually one very cool excursion, and all the steak and lobster you could cram in your face for 3 days when you were 20 or so.
Those trips are worth a few thousand dollars, and are experiences that aren't available at any other time in your life, I say go for it, just tell Bronco up front that you are going to take them so he doesn't get all but hurt and cut your offer.
