Another update--I was able to change our 1-BR reservation to a 2-BR with a member discount, so it ended up cheaper (still more than our original reservation we had to cancel though). We had 13 banked points that we were going to lose, and a 2-BR was the only accommodation available on points for the first night of our trip. So we booked that night with points and then the next four nights on cash with the discount. Also, DH got the okay that he can travel after his surgery. I have to do all the driving though. Good thing we are taking two days to get there and possibly two days to get back. I just wish our kids could go. A 2-BR is going to feel lonely without them. That's the only time we've booked a 2-BR is when the whole family can go. I'm going to leave the invitation open for them just in case.
The only thing is now I'm worried about being in a building with no elevator. DH had hip replacement almost two months ago but is still dealing with swelling and some pain. It's not so bad though that we aren't planning on renting trikes for some occasional rides. I just don't want him having to walk up and down stairs the whole trip. I know the only building with an elevator that has a 2-BR is Building 28. How many 2-BRs are there in that building? What floors are they on? I have anxiety issues due to noise and always request top floor, but I think I would take anything in Building 28 to help my DH out! And if we can't get Building 28, I will take a first floor room in another building just so he won't have to walk up and down two flights of steps.
MIL's surgery is tomorrow. We are praying everything goes well, and then we can look forward to a much-needed vacation in a couple of weeks to our favorite home away from home!
Best wishes that all the surgeries, renovations, and other issues come out okay.
I hope everything works out so you can go on your trip the week of 10/20 and everything works out well.
