jimmytammy, I love your account and pictures. Tom and I are on way to BWV after three wonderful nights in HHI! Once we met Sleepydog we ran into him every 5 minutes. Meeting him and Chris were highlights as well many other CM.
Our view there!

It was so wonderful to finally meet up with you guys! I do so wish we'd have had more time to chat.
For those Groupies who weren't aware, I knew
bobbiwoz and
Tom would be in for a few days and hoped to spend a few moments with them while they were here. The first day, I was at the far end of the resort working the Big Dipper, Mercantile, and Tide Me Over area. I think they showed up about the time I went on lunch break--they did get to meet my co-worker Vinnie (he was my main trainer) who is a great guy. I looked for them on my trips back to the service center to grab supplies which is located near where their room was in the picture above. No luck.
However, the next day (Monday), I was assigned to the front of the resort, and my duties included supplying fresh linens and supplies to the Mousekeepers, hauling away the old linens, running items to guests (coffee maker, towels, TV remote, et. al.), and even at one point, helping an elderly couple unload their car and take their luggage to their room. Of course, it was at the point of running a few items to a room that I hear CM Kate say a floor beneath me, "Yes, Patrick is running around here right now. I just saw him. And Chris is working the front desk," and I came bounding down the stairs. We talked for a few minutes before I got the call to help the couple unload their car (it was PACKED to the gills). I believe they also stepped in then to say "hi" to
Luv.
As fortune would have it, I then proceeded to run into them at least four more times in the next couple of hours! I think
bobbi and
Tom would tell you I was constantly on the move--no rest for housekeeping attendants! Even funnier, four times over the rest of that day and into yesterday (I saw
bobbi and
Tom one more time, too), I had other CMs tell me, "Oh, Patrick, this delightful couple from NJ have been looking for you!" Obviously, they had looked far and wide. Again, it was great to having seen you guys!
Bobbi,
Patrick and Chris are pretty great people IMO, like so many other groupies we have met through the years, including you
We are looking forward to some "lazy" days at HHI in a few days. We love sitting on the balconies of
DVC and drinking our cup o Joe in the AM. We love our room here at BLT, but in the AM, we are on the sunny side so have yet to been able to enjoy. This AM may have been different as the temps are supposed to cool here to the high 70s. I dont know, Im still in the room, bumming
So, now it's your turn to find me!
Let's see. On Sunday, I'll be back at the Broad Creek area (that's the main pool, etc.), so mostly wiping down railings, cleaning bathrooms every hour, hauling towels and trash, sweeping, etc. Come Monday, I'll be back over at the Beach House, a place I haven't been in recent weeks. Can't miss me there if you come over as it's just that one building, pool area, and bathrooms. Finally, on Tuesday, I'll be back doing housekeeping attendant duties which means I'm all over the resort driving around in a golf cart hauling stuff! Here is the current weather forecast for those three days:
Sunday - sunny but windy and only about 60F
Monday - also sunny and a little warmer and less windy, with a high in the low 60s
Tuesday - partly cloudy and high in the upper 60s
I'll be looking out for you! And I'll look something like this (pardon the sideways look). . .
