Thinking about a timeshare? Or just want a cheap vacation?

Are any of you interested in the following deals?
* Orlando: 3 nights for $69
* Las Vegas: 2 nights for $89
* Waikiki: 4 nights for $699

Fair warning: The catch is that you have to attend a timeshare sales presentation (2 hours). The timeshare is a nice one, M and I have been happy with ours, it’s very flexible and tradeable and the rooms are very high-quality. Email me if you’re interested…

lovely Lost Wages

We are currently in Vegas. I think I really like our timeshare. The room is beautiful, and has a full on kitchen, washer/dryer, shower and whirlpool tub, and TV in the front room and another in the bedroom.

Also, the internet access is not only high-speed, it’s also free/unlimited. Not that I expect to be camped out in the room all week or anything.

Gambling, buffet, and comedy show tonight.

Vacation coming up

We changed our vacation plans a little, and we will now be going to Vegas in the dead of winter, instead of going to Florida.

So we will be in Vegas between Dec 13 and Dec 19. JB and 9M will be there for some of that time. I wonder if there’s any chance anyone else I know will also be in vegas at that time. hmm.
