Yes, thank you, that's what I've been missing in how I felt about it. I was bored.
I think it's very much personality-based. I can budget like crazy for something (not meaning being on a budget, but making whatever money we need available), but I want to get *value* from it. Since Castaway has lots of value to begin with for me, I want to spend time on the island. A cabana is so expensive, I want to get the value of the cabana. And the two, for me, compete. Value from the cabana means being int eh cabana. Which means I'm not experiencing the island.
DH and DS went off and snorkeled, and I stayed behind in the expensive cabana. Well, also, the safe didn't work, even after Leslie the host got maintenance to "fix" it, but it wasn't fixed. I wasn't going to leave our stuff in a non-locking safe. So I sat, I read my kindle, I was in the son a little bit.
I could have done that without the cabana.
DH really liked it, DS liked it. I have enjoyed our non-cabana Castaway experiences more than our cabana experiences.
