I am the proud owner of...

....A 69 point AKV contract!

I only hope that the 'Queen of OKW' realizes that after this..."Hank" and other committed OWK CM's -- will never look at you in the same light again!!!!!!!!

LOL! Yes, my guide got a charge out of that number of points too. We came up with that number by taking the points needed for a week in a savanna view 1 bedroom in value season and dividing by 3. The extra point was needed.

By the way Mr. Hoffa...Did you find my Dad's lost Teamsters pension?

We just added on 100 AKV points today !!!
I have been waiting since the year AKL opened and I walked into that lobby for the first time for the powers that be to dream up AKV - OK, so it hasn't been all that a long a wait, but it felt long !!! The wait is almost over !!

Oh man you guys are killing me, took me hours to find the right combination. Ok I will go search again.

Home is easy to find, it is finding Welcome as a greeting that is harder.

My search also turned up "Karibu" for "welcome" but someone posted on another thread "karibisha nyumbani" and that also translates as "welcome" and "home".

Is anybody going to AKL any time soon who could find an African CM who speaks Swahili who could sort this out for us and give us the correct phrase and the correct pronunciation?

This is where I found it.

not sure about the pronunciation. But this might help

a is pronounced as ah (like in apple)

e is pronounced as eh (like in you bet)

i is pronounced as e (like in ink)

o is pronounced as oh (like in pro)

u is pronounced as ooh (like in bull)

Great sources! The ones I found the other day offered translations for individual words but not for the phrase "Welcome home". And I'm not surprised it took you hours to find it because I spent a lot of time on this too and didn't find the sites that you turned up. Great work!!
