Sorry for the delays in getting to replies. I got tied up with some stuff on Sunday night and last night I spent all evening downloading video to my mac. First I couldn't get the camera to download. Then I ended up with 3 - 4 copies of each little segment of film. What a mess. Then we watched the Hangover Part 2 - that was freaking hysterical, although a tad raunchy in parts. 
I know this is old news since you booked your flight already but somehow I now HATE to pay for the luggage. Just a pet peeve. So yeah I proably would pay a little more for a touchdown just to fly SW.
But it all worked out and you will be fine. :
I totally hate to pay for luggage, so that's why I prefer SWA. Even if its the same price paying for luggage I rather take SWA. I am satisfied with my flights and prices.
Once I was able to rebook the first part of the trip it was a no-brainer to just book their return flight with the credit.
Ahhh Spartanburg SC, my new Favorite town..... Love flying SW out of there even though I have to RIGHT BY the Charlotte Airport to get there.
Hate the luggage fees. Love SWA.:
I know what you mean. I actually to prefer to fly out of BWI even though Philadelphia is closer. I just like the airport better.
Great Williamsburg update. Good for you on the timeshare NO but if I ever get in that situation I probably would set my watch alarm to go off at 90 min and make no secret of it.
RUDE - yes but I have no tolerance for the hard sell and then the tactics they use to try to get you to buy.
As soon as he took us for the "joy ride" I knew we were in for a long morning. The problem is, he lost me after the third hour and by then I am not buying anything. There is such a thing as "overkill".
Beautiful Williamsburg pictures! How fun that you were able to do a wine tasting while you were there. I love all of the ribbons around the bottles.
There are actually two other wineries close to Williamsburg that do tastings. I went to a second one a few weeks ago with my GF's and it was gorgeous there. I think wine tasting is going to be one of my new past times. I can't wait to do more.
Your meal looks awesome! Goat cheese ice cream...that definitely sounds interesting!
The ice cream has a thicker consistency and definitely was not as sweet. It was the perfect compliment to the rest of the dessert.
Loved seeing the historical buildings, so cool to think how long they've been there and who walked the same streets/area that you did. Beautiful pictures as always.
I really think everyone should visit Williamsburg once. It really is the founding of our nation and all the attractions are done really well. I look forward to my next trip there.
I think I would have been teeming at the 3 hour point let alone 4 hours
Denny is too kind not wanting you to bad mouth them.
Denny actually had an interest in this timeshare and if I had pushed for it, I'm sure we would have bought it. But at the 3 hour mark it all just turned into one giant blur to me. I couldn't process anything because I had been fed too much extraneous information.
That concert sounds wonderful. I'll definitely look him up when I get home.
It was really, really interesting, especially the glass armonica. Very cool stuff.
glad you were able to add a night to your October trip, that'll be nice.
I was going to stay at AoA for the extra night, but since I canceled a night in June it just makes more sense to add it back in October.
All right! You got to see the Crystal Concert! I was thinking I recommended it to you and had to look back through my posts to be sure. It's amazing isn't it?!
the Crystal Concert was really wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew it was a "must-see" with all the wonderful endorsements I read. So, thank you for recommending it!
Your 4 hour timeshare thing sounds like what we endured at the Vistana in Orlando. It's funny (not really) how they can stretch 90 minutes into 4 hours.
They take you out on two extra drives - that's how. OMG, when were we done I was so fried I just wanted to
Never again!
Those pictures of Berkley were very nice, but the outfit on that tour guide was atrocious!!!
That is such a peeve of mine. If the guides aren't going to dress in a correct manner, then they should just wear polo shirts.
Well, I am sure the vast majority of people have no idea whether the guide is dressed correctly or not. I thought the man looked funny because his shirt barely covered his beer belly and he was practically wheezing walking up the steps. I was waiting for him to drop. I think he was counting the minutes until he could have another one of these -
I like how the time share people want to drive you so that they can sort of keep you prisoner. Just sayin'..
I am SO glad I knew they were going to keep us prisoner. But still, two drives was too many. It was just way too long and I liked the guy so I didn't want to be rude. I just think he needs to rework his plan somewhat.
There is a night life, after all Williamsburg is a college town, but it's mostly on the weekends & not in the historical district.
I know the historic district closes up early, but I am curious as to what part of the city actually has bars. I feel like we drove around a lot and really didn't see much. When we got back to our condo the parking lots were completely full and it was only 9 or 9:30pm.
A fun thing in the historical area is to do the Gambols at Chowning's Tavern in the evening. Lots of fun.
I saw that place on our girls trip and it did look pretty cool. We almost had lunch there but ended up going to the King's Arm Tavern instead. Next time!
All caught up!
Yeah!!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you had an awesome trip!
I
LOVE all of your first & favorites! By the time I get to the end of a TR I never feel like doing that so I really appreciate the effort it took to pull that together. Maybe I could finish off a TR like that if I write the last update as I write the whole TR. 
Anyways... thanks for sharing your trip with us!
So glad you liked the firsts and favorites. I actually do much better going back a second time. I'm not sure why, but it goes smoother for me. I don't get hung up in all the details and just let the pictures do the talking!
Your June trip is right around the corner... I can't believe it's all coming together with your brother & family!
So excited. It's about 31 days now!!!!!!!
And it really IS all coming together.
And you gave us a bonus Williamsburg update to boot!
You know - I love Williamsburg. To me it is the Disney of historical attractions!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you had an absolutely fantastic day!!! 
Sorry this is late....
