Thanksgiving Week Advice

[rcmsfeb04]

We took a week long trip in February, it was fun but we ran into major issues getting home. Southwest canceled several of our flights due to a storm and we were stuck at MCO for 4 days. These four extra days of vacation pretty much spent our money for our next vacation.

Here's the bad part..
A few weeks prior to our Feb vacation I pulled in points 2011 points so we could spend Thanksgiving week at BLT in a lake view one bedroom. At this point I don't want to go.

What are my options? It feels like I have none since the points were borrowed I can't bank or transfer. Is that correct?

Thanks for any input. I feel like such an idiot for pulling the points in.

I suppose you could try to rent out your reservation if you really don't want to or can't go. I would recommend you keep watching the airfares though as I have seen some drops lately. Put you dates into Kayak or Bing and then ask for email update daily. You may be able to snag some really good airfare and then you could always plan to do a few meals in to save money as you will have the one bedroom. We often do a late lunch which is cheaper and then hunt down dessert in the park. Good Luck!
