10/7-14/2012 Jamborini Meet for Food & Wine. Everyone is Welcome!

[franandaj]

David's training has gone very well. I told that the only advice my grand mother ever gave me in regards to marriage, is to never start doing anything you don't want to do forever.

So I don't do anything in regards to vehicles, I don't dust, don't vacuum, don't do dishes, don't water plants, don't clean bathrooms, don't sweep or mop floors; David does all of this.

Hmmmmmm I think I got the ole bait and switch here! Fran started off doing the dishes and then got sick so I've been doing them for about 14 years until just about a month ago. I don't mind watering plants, but we pay people to do the rest of the cleaning. However where I really had the wool pulled over my eyes was that I never thought I would be on my hands and knees cleaning vacant apartments! For over a decade all I had to do was deposit the rent checks in the bank, all of a sudden in the last year I've had to do slave labor, as I certainly don't get paid!

Separate bathrooms.... hmmm, but then I would have to clean mine, so I will stick separate sinks...

Next house...separate bathrooms! See above for cleaning instructions!

Unfortunately, the first trainer sometimes causes problems for the subsequent one!

Boy! You are not kidding!

I have (almost) finished our Food & Wine reservations!


Arriving 10/7 - not sure where I'm staying this evening.

10/8-12 - BCV

10/12-14 - Swan for Food & Wine Classic. (JD will arrive on the 12th! )

10/14-17 - AKL-CL for our Anniversary (#30!!! )

Sounds like a great trip! You're bouncing around just as many times as we are (if not more) in the same time frame!

Alison, multi-split stays are the only way I travel to WDW anymore!!

I don't think I could handle staying in one place for more than 4 or 5 days!!




"Separate bathrooms" is my #1 tip for peace and harmony in a marriage! (we're going on 30 years; the last 29 with separate bathrooms! )

We've only done two "single resort" stays and I just don't like them that much. Feels like you didn't get quite as much of a vacation only staying at one place. So many people complain about changing resorts, but I find it pretty easy and it feels like you had more than one trip!

In our next house we'll have separate bathrooms, unfortunately we can't add another one where we live (we have ours and then there is the cat's bathroom for us if we are desperate), but we have definitely have learned, we need two bathrooms! That's why Kidani and BLT are great to stay at!

First and for #30!!! And you're doing the opposite of what I may be doing. Depends if I go down a week earlier with a BFF and her family. It all hinges on how her DH is doing as he was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer last year. He's always wanted to take his boys to WDW so I said we could use my points and go down for a few days. Fingers crossed that they make this trip!

10/6-10/12 - AKV Jambo
10/12-10/14 - homeless still - BW, BC or SD
10/14-10/20 - (or 21 if I can pull it off) BWV.

I will have to remember this for our house in Texas

I am jealous.....

 

[PNO4TE]

Trying to figure out if the price is a good deal for us. I hate math...

A quick fly-by for me! I am so happy to hear Swolphin has the info out -- although they had a few "issues" getting the dates squared away, they seem to really *have it all together* where the organization of the Classic is concerned!

I will have my first free moments (since Monday) tomorrow. I will be doing the math, playing online, and making phone calls.

Elin, we will be in touch tomorrow!

Happy St Patricks Day weekend everyone!

I did not even do the math, since I can't go this year....(pouting now) I want to go next year, so everyone has to take pictures and give reviews when you get back...

I called and not sure if I got a CM who knows what he was talking about or not. I was quoted $595 per night with the two night stay - and I gave him the
EARFWC2. Does that sound right??? Since I have one night already on points and on on cash ($345) it's not worth it for me. I'll just buy the tickets for the event.

 

[TyRy]

Thanks Brandi - I hope so too, they really need this.

 

[dgbg100106]

just throwing this out there I still have points for sale.... and my home resort is BCV.

I thought the quote I had seemed crazy, but I also thought that the price seemed low on the website. Figure a room would cost $210 by itself so it was only another $60 for two passes? The whole thing just didn't add up.

I called them to see if I could modify my existing reservation and they cannot book it online, according to "John" in Customer Service. He tried and tried and it wouldn't work. He told me if I had a link that permitted me to book it online directly I should probably do it!

I was able to pull up exactly what I want and could have booked it this evening. At the rates listed.
