Angie and Josh decided it was time to go back to a beach, so back in Aug. she started looking for availability at a Wyndham on the beach. She didn't really want to go back to Panama City Beach, so she concentrated on Destin and Edisto. Destin had a 3 bedroom unit available for 4 nights---Sunday-Thursday, so she booked it. A couple weeks later she noticed the unit was upgraded to a 4 bedroom unit. So for half the price of the 3 bedroom unit, she got the 4 bedroom (about 90,000 points). I love our VIP privileges with Wyndham!
They wanted us to join them, so for the next month, I wondered if Ken and I would really go. I know he wasn't tickled with the idea. But he told Angie we would try to go. Then came a hurricane that damaged the Pensacola area. So I had no idea until the day before the trip if we would really go.
After some investigating, it appeared that the area was doing ok and Layla asked him again; he couldn't turn her down. Love having that little persuader around!

We only had to gas up once each way, so I figure that was a great vacation for about $30 each way. The condo was "free", since we have a bunch of timeshare points. The beach was fantastic.
I had been here a
couple times before, but they were about 50 years ago, so I really
don't remember much about it. I didn't get to stay in high end resorts
then. The first trip was with my brother and sister in law and their infant. We camped and my brother took the car every day to go to work, I assume somewhere in Eglin AFB. I do remember water skiing in the Gulf with some people I met in the camp ground. The 2nd trip was with Ken when I was pregnant with Tim. I don't remember why we were there, but I remember getting
sunburnt feet.
Wonder why we didn't go back there more often?!
