Not when it comes to ROFR!!!! Just ask DH!!

 

[HolidayRoad]

Thanks, HR.

You're afraid to fly? I still don't like it but I figure when it is my time, it won't matter where I am, it WILL happen. Nothin' I can do about it. I still find myself asking my DH is this noise or that noise is normal. He flies about every week for his job.

What if it's the pilots time?

Then he cuts himself shaving!!

Okay I have a good one - on the one ROFR thread I have the mulit quote button, on this thread, I do not - what is up with that?

 

[Laxmom]

That's weird.

Hey HR, how much time until your trip now?

 

[Grandbuddy]

But DW, Dme, and at least one DGS are heading to Pop 4/14 - twelve days away (and I still won't be a DVC owner)!

 

[Laxmom]

I'm jealous. So far, I can't even get anyone in my family to go the WDW when we are in Orlando before our cruise! We canceled our trip to Gatlinburg for June so as of now, no trips planned before Sept. Man that is a long wait!

OK - first thing...how does this multi-quote thing work.

You have to be logged in to use multi-quote. The button for muti-quote is just to the right of the quote button on each posting and has a quotation mark on it. The button only shows up if you are already logged in.

Just click on the little button with the quotation mark on each posting you would like to quote and then hit the reply button on the bottom of the page.

I hope this helps.

Funny you should ask, there is a very nice woman who works right down the hall and she owns at SSR I think 210 points. They decided to skip going in 2008 and bank so they can have a super trip in 2009. So I have been wandering over there every morning and announcing the count down time which is driving her nuts because she banked all her points and can't go this year. I, being a bit of a sadist take great delight in doing this. She keeps threatening to stow away in my car. So as of right now it is: "T" minus 15 days 17 hours 44 minutes and 27 seconds until take off!!! Next week we will start the single digit dance!

O.K. listen, I love each and every one of you with all my heart but I work in "I.T." here at your friendly neighborhood house of corrections and the last thing I want to do is see razor wire or a computer while I'm in my happy place, I would however like to do a trip report thingy. I have never done one yet but I just may have to for my ROFR peeps! I have to go and check out the Trip Report Thread and see how they do this. Any pointers?

Vman, have you called your agent? I think a little check in would be in order at this point. It shouldn't take this long unless they can't be reached, which would be nice to know.

Yep, just left a voice mail message a few moments ago.......

I agree with Laxmom, you should call. I think it took about two hours for my "agent" to get back to me with word. Not to freak you out but if the sellers are taking this long to do this part, they may give you headaches throughout the whole process.

 

[Verandah Man]

My agent just called and told me she did get a voice mail message from the seller this morning letting my agent know she would be home after 12pm today. My agent said she is going to try and reach the seller in a few minutes, then will let me know if she was able to get in touch with her.

I told my agent I would be home until 12:30 then after that, I can be reached on my cell phone.

My agent did say it seems thay have been playing phone tag, which I know happens, because it happens here a lot at our house..............

 

[Verandah Man]

Well, we should have our contract by the end of the day, the seller counter offered our bid and we accepted the counter offer at $78.00 @ point. The original price was $81.00 @ point, we first offered $75.00 and I told our agent if the seller came down to $78.00 @ point to go ahead with the deal.

Now the "fun" and "waiting game" begins!!!

Hi ALL
Just a few comments to add:

Travel Any where?? For our honeymoon (8 years ago) We went on a Princess 12 day Cruise Mediterranean trip. It started in Turkey, went to Greece, Italy (Venice plus 2 other Italy ports), Monaco, ended in Spain and then we did an extension trip to Switzerland for 5 days. It was an amazing trip...would definitly reccomend it.

Our boat was the Grand Princess "Love Boat"...so when we left the port it was playing...you guessed it... the theme from Love Boat! We have also gone on Celebrity...I think their food was the best, but not as much to do on the boat. Much smaller boat, but an amazing two story open dining room with live music.

Reguarding Gmac resales low prices... we have our offer in ROFR..using GMAC for BCV. The listing was for $83 a point, and we actually upped the offer, we did not think the lower would go through, so I asked the GMAC people what has been going through out of their office and they said $84 has been.... I have not seen that on the boards much, so I was curious.... we will see... I will let you all know if ours goes through!!

A little added INFO...
