I got in without the two steps, AND it did show my home resorts, but the night still isn’t available. My son will be happy for three in a row, but not having to move will be best!

Hope this finds everyone well.

How are you?! How was your trip?!

How are you?! How was your trip?!

Unfortunately for me it never happened. I woke up a few hours early before our flight experiencing what I thought might be Covid, so my son dropped my wife and daughter off at the airport and I spent the week living vicariously through text messages. LOL Turns out it was just a nasty case of bronchitis that exasperated my COPD. Better safe than sorry.

They great thing about DVC is I know I’ll be back so it stings less. I’m leaving to drive down next Saturday for a week at Jambo House. That’s the plan right now anyway.LOL.

How have you been, any trips planned? Been real quiet on the Jersey thread.

Our next WDW trip begins April 30. It’s BCV and HHI.

We just returned from a 5 night trip to Dollywood where we connected with our Ohio neighbors. It feels wonderful to be able to travel again.

We have learned to take route 40 across the southern part of NJ on our way to route 50, then head south. It saves us the drive up to route 322! So, we get home faster!!

Aww, i’m so sorry to hear that you were ill and that you had to miss your trip. ☹ That had to be tough. That’s great you’re going on Saturday! Something great to look forward to! I’m sure you’re even more anxious to get down there now! Yes! We have actually have 3 trips planned this year! We had so many leftover points that we didn’t get to use last summer, that we figured instead of upgrading to a one bedroom, we will use those points for an extra week somewhere else!! It will be a lot of driving, but I’m really looking forward to it! Happy you’re feeling better!

I received my first Pfizer vaccine last Friday. So........Finally taking my first DVC trip! After 3 canceled trips (1 Aulani, 2 WDW) between April 2020 and January 2021, in August I will be staying at CCV for 3 nights and then 1 night at BRV just to see how I like that part of the lodge.

I also have 5 nights at CCV book for "Marathon Weekend" in Jan 2022. I plan on taking this trip regardless if races actually happen or not.

Excited to be welcomed home after closing on my first resale contract in October 2019.

We have had season passes to Dollywood since 1998! It was easier to get there from Ohio! Then is was 5 hours in car, now all in all 13 hours and a bit more.

We go for shows mostly now, although we have gone on Flying Eagle a couple of times.

Dollywood really celebrates Christmas in a big way. We always meet good friends there in November to celebrate! Passholders do get advance notice of Dolly’s concerts. They are too well attended to be at Dollywood any more, but originally, she began or ended in Celebrity Theater there.

Often for November trip we fly to Knoxville. That’s what we are doing this year.

I live 3 minutes from 322, I use 322 on the way down but find it quicker to take RT 40 on the way home. LOL

Good to see some activity here - our little group went quiet for almost a month!

On a different note, for you Cape May'ers - saw this today and...wow! Maybe it's time to sell and live in DVC full time

Cape May County’s median price on single-family homes was up 51.1% to $465,000 in February compared to the same month last year.

That’s insane!!!!!!! Wow, i’d sell in a heartbeat and go!!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Too bad we don’t have a single family home! We have a quad, and it’s ours!

Our next trip is after Easter, to Houston. We’ll see both DGS’s playing baseball!

I might of panicked but got our plane tickets for September trip to wdw. 195 round trip a person phl to mco. About double what I paid for our December 2020 trip and about 50 dollars more than our January 2021 trip. That was the earliest flights both ways. Better times was 406 to 531 so I got them. I imagine better times will come down later so I probably panicked and got them done and over with.

in other news mowed my grass for the first time this year. March seems early to being mowing the grass. But I remember a couple years ago had to mow grass in December in 2020 didn’t have to.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Our lawn service has put first application down, so I expect our lawn will be mowed soon. We have tiny plot, so we have services, no room for lawn mower storage.

dclpluto, good that you got your flights! I am just not ready for SW’s three seats each side. We have SW tickets for June, not sure we will use them.
