Part 1 HIFS

[Rick Walmsley]

Dear all

Have been lurking and planning furtively behind the scenes for a while now.

Myself and familly, DW,DD(8),DD(7) will be in The World 1st August for a WHOLE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have been planning and saving for about 8 years!! (still dont think the saving bit was long enough!)

Much (if not all) of my plans have been influensed by the information provided by the members of this and similar sites.

I have obtained an entertainment rate of $99.50 at HIFS for AUG1 -AUG 15 Inclusive. (Many thanks to Kelly who I have been E-Mailing at HIFS regularly for the efficient service)

I will of course pass on any information regarding my planning/savings in due course.

I will be rolling out the rest of the plan shortly

Any questions etc please ask

Rick

OK, as someone who's not been around long enough to have all the jargon and abbreviations down pat - what does that mean?
Thanks!

I don't know what the HIFS is either but I am very jealous. The three weeks we had last year was not enough but I could never manage (or afford) four weeks.

Hello Richard, how r u today? Busy writing up the rest of your trip report?

Happy to know that someone who's been there a few times is also confused by some of the abbreviations!

 

[bengunn]

Ok thanks Mr White Rabbit. Did you see the report I posted yesterday afternoon?

Mustn't hijack this thread and I still don't know what HIFS is

 

[henrydog]

could it be 'Holiday In Florida Sun'

 

[neo's white rabbit]

Well, it works! I thought it might be a place or resort...

 

[Penny12]

I <i>think</i> he's talking about the Holiday Inn Family Suites

 

[neo's white rabbit]

You see we needed someone who knew what they were talking about! It all makes sense once you know.

 

[bengunn]

Well using the abreviation HIFS certainly saved time - it only took 6 posts for the rest of us to find out what it probably is!

Um, please only use common abreviations or at least spell it out in full the first time you use a new abreviation - some of us are very thick
