Rob prides himself on doing the travel stuff right and getting it done early.
He made a little faux-paux earlier in the month. Forgot to deposit the remaining points from a cancellation made in July..yes July. I recognized my error on Sept 1 and bet you cant guess what the last day to save timeshare points was? Insert Jeopardy music here….ok times up…yup you guessed it. The answer is, What is August 31, Alex! Rob is officially a bonehead…now sitting with a bunch of points he cant deposit, it is the beginning of the 9th month of the year and our big trip is still ahead of us. Nice part is, there is always visiting the folks in Branson in December. ( no, not a bad thing, is actually a great time to visit Branson )
Soooo now have to find out what I am to do with these points. That didn’t take too long to figure but made me no happier to use however the bright side is it put money back in my pocket…the error ends up being a $100 loss error when it comes down to it but frankly will save me somewhere around $700. We decided that we would cancel our three nights on Anguilla and the single night stay on ST Maarten and book those four nights on ST Maarten at our timeshare.
Upside…entire time will be at one facility, downside….will have to change rooms part way thru our stay. ( from one bedroom to a studio )
Upside….save quite a bit of money by not staying on Anguilla, downside…..we love Anguilla
Upside….not wasting any of our points, downside…..if would have deposited when I should have could have taken friends again next year….wait that one could be two upsides or an upside and downside not too sure there.
Back to making lists;
I am a travel list maker but our list is down to three things…
1. Fake Bake, get the base tan
2. Pack
3. Go to bank for some cash…..
As Porky Pig said….ba de ba de ba de, That’s all folks!!
Planning is going well and actually other than a purchase of tanning....COMPLETE!!
All this with 52 days left till touch down in ST Maarten…look out island we will be there for Halloween!!!!
