Well I called this morning. And yes the expiration on my account was February 2004. But I am an Amex SPG card holder. They did not have my card number on the account, so that is why I expired. I was just shy of the number of nights to keep it on my own. Now, if they added the amount of nights in a 12 month period, I would be Platinum!!
Thanks for listening, and if you are gold due to your Amex cardm make sure they have your card number on file.

Hopefully...this means they have RESTORED you to GOLD!!~Correct?! I was going to post and inform you how to do this, as they are very nice about correcting such errors. Congrats on your upgrade! I would suggest you call again, about the # of eves you have in the 12-month period. Ask them for a "complimentary" upgrade to Platinum SPG. It NEVER hurts to ask! The worst thing they can say is "no", and then you are where you were in the first place...GOLD! So, give it a try.
DonnaLeah~What a nice idea! Wish I were at the Dolphin for the entire sorority meet...we could all have SPA-DAY together!Nothing like a massage/pedicure to form some nice bonds.

paras4ri~My trip is very close as well! In four months and a week...I'll be at the PBH relaxing in the sunshine!
Oh, I definitely LIVE for these adventures.
lat~Did you call the folks at SPG? You should be able to reinstate your GOLD status with an AMEX card. Good Luck!
BambiTamby~Is it a SMALL WORLD, or WHAT?!
Wow...another Upstate NYer. Canandaigua ("The Chosen Spot" in Iroquois)...brings back fond memories. I ponied horses with a dear GF in the summer there (at the Race Track), and at the "BIG-A" in Queens too! Exciting and entertaining means to some extra income as a young teen. What a beautiful lake (Squaw Island) one of the prettiest of the "fingers," and quaint place to reside.
I must agree with you in regard to your comments on Catholic schools/education. DD's educational process in the Catholic system has proved phenomenal. It has been the BEST investment we ever made.
She is now looking at Colleges, and receiving material daily from different institutions. Yesterday, she received information from the admissions office of Yale, NYU, Brown and Vanderbilt. Each day, brings a new round. They obtain her info from different sources, (Who's who of America's HS students, NHS, NMS, and many others). She was previously only entertaining the Ivy's and challenging privates, but lately is also including (drum roll)...the private CATHOLIC Colleges & U's too! (Hooray!) Notre Dame, Sisters of the Holy Cross, Fordham and even the University of San Francisco:
(latter two being Jesuit R. Catholic trad.). I could not be happier.
Since she LOVES San Francisco, we are planning to visit USF soon. She has already visited Berkeley, and Stanford. Both are great schools, and appealed to her. It's ultimately her choice, as she is the one attending the school. ^_^
**Yes, SD is indeed a sweetie!
jgates~That's the ZOOM on my trusty Mavica disc cam (16x). Sure takes a nice picture! I could almost "touch" the spaceship earth through the lens. It certainly gives a great perspective on the VIEW from the windows and balconies of the far East Wing in the Dolphin.
Dismom63~Strong Memorial...another trip back down memory lane! We are all connected through these little threads of life. Amazing to know, as once we begin to share our past experiences...we can see how all of our lives are intertwined in some manner.
sarahsmom73~WOW, about a month out!!
Are you packing yet?!? Great idea to reconfirm your late arrival. We always arrive late, but as PLAT. SPG our suite is always waiting. You should have no problem. Sometimes, the best rooms are available later in the afternoon (due to the late check-out of the Gold/Plat SPG members). You will be fine, and have a wonderful time!
bballmom63~Wow...Brockport is so familiar for me! Siena college too. Ithaca College is listed in DD's top private schools roster. It's a great place, just across from Cornell. So many wonderful schools in the East.
*I'm unsure about the recent perks through the SPG preferred status. Anyone?
my DM & DF are leaving Melbourne this weekend. They have been vacationing there since Jan 20! They are true snowbirds.
Unfortunately, they became very ill (Flu) while there, and even had to visit the Hosp. for some antibiotics, etc. Yes, they had their annual FLU shots prior to the winter...but this strain was apparently not affected by the preventive innoculation. My sister just wrote me an email to inform me the Docs wanted to "operate" on my DF while he was there (?). She explained it was to remove his gallbladder. Ugh. I'm glad he is waiting until he gets home. His own Docs know him better, and he'll be able to recoup at home.

Is MOM POPPINS (Robin & Family) still in the MAGIC? Anyone know?
Hope she has had a wonderful time, and took lots of pics to share with all of us!
Enjoy the day!! TGIF!
TTFN...DF99
! She is getting an outstanding liberal arts education.
I agree with HM in that not having a rental seems to simplify life. On our last 2 trips, we have used Tiffany Town Car Service and were very pleased with the service...fast, punctual and pleasant drivers.
I crack myself up this early in the day.....
