The 7-day tickets have no expiration date. They don't go into effect until the first time you use them. Or else, can't you sell them if you're not going to ever use them?
Well what happened was that nice home I mentioned went bye-bye. The guy emailed me and said he did not realize that his wife had rented it out to someone before I did. It seems they are in the process of a divorce and they have a "lack of communication skills"
So unless I find another home, We may just chuck the vacation to Florida and do something else closer to home.
