It was a relatively cheap vacation for us since we could stay with my parents and they were even paying half our airfare---at least for the first 5 or 6 years. Even though the kids didn't always appreciate vacationing there every year, it grew on them. Now in their adult years, they often talk about moving there. In fact, I really thought Ken and I would live there after he retired! <br />
<br />
We spent a couple weeks in Oregon every summer from about 1980 up until about 2008 (when neither of my parents were around anymore). After that, we still went from time to time, but for a specific purpose (a niece's wedding, a family reunion X-mas on the beach, and to show Oregon to some friends who had never been there before).<br />
<br />
I decided to go back into my archived photos and blog about some of those trips.<br />

<span style="color: blue;">Oahu, Kauai, The Big Island, Maui</span></h3><p>
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Many years ago---around the year 1998--- Ken and I went to yet another timeshare presentation in St. Louis (for the entertainment and free stuff they gave us), but this time we ended up buying into it. This presentation was for Pahio Resorts (</span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">specifically </span></span>Kauai Beach Villas---- one of the 4 Pahios on Kauai). We had never been to any of the Hawaiian islands and didn't really figure we'd go to the Pahio resort, but we were sold on the idea that we could bank the week into RCI and go anywhere, anytime, that we desired. We were so naive back then!!! So we bought a 1 bedroom/1 bath EOY (every other year) unit. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">About the same time that we went to the presentation, I came across a great TWA Getaway Vacations to Oahu for $599/person which included airfare from St. Louis and 5 nights on Oahu ( at the Maile Sky Court Hotel which we extended to 7 nights for a couple hundred dollars more). With our first year at KBV set to be 1999, and we already had reservations for Oahu for Nov. of 1998, we banked the KBV week into RCI---and began to learn what "go anywhere, anytime you want" really means - go anywhere that is available, at the worst times of the year! That usually means somewhere over saturated with timeshares (like Orlando or Las Vegas); or where you really want to go (usually only available during off season) if you're lucky enough to catch it as soon as it's banked. Since we had a really good time on Oahu in 1998, when our next EOY week rolled around in 2001, we decided to go with the sure thing and see exactly what we bought into. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">We never banked that week again. In fact, we bought more and more weeks at Pahio until we had 2 weeks every year (1 bedrooms in even years and 2 bedrooms in odd years). That worked so well, that when Wyndham took over as the management company, we eventually converted our weeks into Wyndham points by buying another EOY 1 bedroom unit at Bali Hai. With that purchase, all our Pahio weeks were converted into Wyndham points. Which ended up being a rather inexpensive way to become Platinum VIP in Wyndham (which has been great!). Part of what got us to convert, was</span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> we were told we'd be able to reserve ocean view rooms 13 months out. That did work for a couple years, then they "learned" that we could only reserve our original type units that far in advance. But it worked out. With lots of persistence and patience, we still got a lot of ocean view rooms in the 10 month Wyndham open reservation window and even often within the 60 day reservation time when our Platinum VIP privileges of 50% off the number of points non-VIPs pay and free upgrades takes place. </span></span><br />

OK---not a vacation for me. This was my "home" for over 50 years. But it really is a pretty neat vacation city. Lots of history and lots of free activities!</div>
<div style="border-image: none; border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; border: currentColor;">
Just a little info to start with:</div>
<div style="border-image: none; border: currentColor;">
The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and after the Louisiana Purchase, it became a major port on the Mississippi River. Much of the area is a fertile and gently rolling prairie that features low hills and broad, shallow valleys. Both the Mississippi River and the Missouri River have cut large valleys with wide flood plains. With a Metropolitan Statistical Area population of 2,812,896 it is the 18th-largest MSA in the country and has a total area of 66.2 square miles. </div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; border: currentColor;">
Summers are hot and humid with the humidity often making the heat index feel well above 100°F. Fall is mild with lower humidity and intermittent bouts of heavy rainfall. The first snow flurries usually coming in late November. Winters are cold with periodic snow and sleet and temperatures often below freezing, however thaws are usually frequent. Spring brings frequent thunderstorms and mild temperatures.</div>
<div style="border-image: none; border: currentColor;">
<div>
<div>
<br />
On to some of the sites of St. Louis:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://Now Anheuser-Busch InBev, it operates 12 breweries in the US and 18 in other countries and is headquartered in St. Louis. It's been around since the mid 1800's and I believe the company will be around awhile longer! They still have tours here and they're pretty impressive. The place is CLEAN. And at the end of the tour, you get to sample some of the goods. O" target="_blank">Anheuser-Busch Brewery!</a><br />

<br />
If you'd told me years ago that some day when we were retired we'd live in Georgia, I would have been very surprised, and wondered how and why! But here we are---2018, and on our 2nd location in Georgia and our 3rd year! Why??? We followed our daughter and son in law awaiting our first grandbaby. In Dec. of 2017, they adopted a beautiful baby girl. Now we're smitten.<br />
<br />
From May of 2016 until May of 2018, we lived about 40 miles north of Atlanta in Buford. Loved the proximity to Lake Lure and the N. Georgia mountains only being an hour away. I also loved Ivy Creek Nature Preserve which we lived adjacent to---spent many many hours walking around in there. And that there was every store or chain restaurant I could ever want to go to within a couple miles of our apartment. What I didn't love about Buford, was the TRAFFIC!!!! Atlanta traffic some 40 miles away!!!<br />
<br />
Then in 2018 our son in law got a promotion and territory in middle-lower Georgia. So we followed them to Perry. We ended up buying a house this time. We really didn't get to experience much of small town middle Georgia. As son as we moved there, hubby started having health problems, so we spent a lot of time driving back up to Atlanta to a specialist. Good thing about that was we usually made it a full day excursion and stopped at places along the way. But Perry seemed to be a nice out of the way location. Didn't find a whole lot to do around there, but did find a few favorite spots---Lanes farm, Massee Gardens, our daughter's pool... .<br /><br />
Now---April of 2019---we're, again, looking to move. This time up to the Marietta, Ga. area just to the NW of downtown Atlanta. The kids didn't like living in the "country", so Josh took another job within Cintas back up in the W. Atlanta area. Now to get our houses sold and find places up that way!</p><p>Update---Jan. 2022---we're living in another really nice house that we've purchased in Dallas, Ga. What do I like about Dallas? It's close to hubby's Drs. There are just about every store or restaurant within 10 miles of here. We're in rolling hills with lots of pine trees and beautifully landscaped areas. Lots of fun activities nearby---like Chalktoberfest, free outdoor concerts, Gibbs gardens... . Dislikes? Shortly after we moved here hubby was diagnosed with Glioblastoma and the Covid 19 pandemic hit. So the last 2 years have been rough.<br />
<br /> But I thought I'd start a blog of the places we've been to in Georgia.<br />

If you asked me many years ago what I thought of Florida, I'd probably have said I don't really think about it. But over the years, I kept getting drawn back there. First was a work trip for Ken in 1988 which the kids and I tagged along to. Then when the Angie graduated from high school in 1999 I arranged a short trip to Florida and the Bahamas as a family senior trip. Then there were a couple of my work trips there for winter meetings in Orlando. Dad joined me for one of them and bought into the RCI resort I had gotten a bonus vacation at (Orange Lake Resort). So Dad and I started going almost every year to use his 5th week of the year at Orange Lake Resort. Then we started venturing out to S. Florida. Eventually Angie and Josh even moved to S. Florida and we really started going there a lot. I was hooked!!! Fell in love with S. Florida. We even moved there to be near the kids, then they moved to Georgia. So we followed them to Georgia and are back to vacationing in Florida.<br /></p><p> </p><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/1988/06/1988-orlando.html" target="_blank">1988 Orlando</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/1999/06/1999-floridabahamas-trip.html" target="_blank">1999-Florida/Bahamas trip</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2011/12/2002-jan-first-trip-to-orlando-with-dad.html" target="_blank">2002 Jan. first trip to Orlando with Dad</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2003/02/2003-orlando-feb-with-dad-and-angie.html" target="_blank">2003---Orlando, Feb., with Dad and Angie</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2004/01/2004-winter-florida1st-cruise.html" target="_blank">2004 winter Florida/1st cruise experience!</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2005/01/2005-orlando-with-dad-followed-by-do.html" target="_blank">2005 Orlando with Dad followed by a do-over Disney Cruise</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2008/02/2008-orlando-last-trip-with-dad.html" target="_blank">2008 Orlando---last trip with Dad</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2009/06/sunny-west-palm-beach-june-2009.html" target="_blank">2009 - June; Sunny West Palm Beach</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://southernfloridaliving.blogspot.com/2009/05/2009-may-orlando-sunshine-state-trip.html" target="_blank">2009 May Orlando "Sunshine state" trip</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2012/09/2009-pompano-beach-florida-oct.html" target="_blank">2009 Oct Pompano trip with Ken </a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2010/02/2010-orlando-with-david-and-jane.html" target="_blank">2010 Orlando with David and Jane</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2012/12/2011-pompano-beach-florida-sisters-trip.html" target="_blank">2011 Oct.--Pompano Beach, Florida Sisters' trip </a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2014/03/2012-april-trip-to-orlando-with-disney.html" target="_blank">2012 -April trip to Orlando with a Disney fanatic</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2012/09/2012-sept-to-coral-springs-to-visit-kids.html" target="_blank">2012 Sept to Coral Springs to visit the kids</a></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"> </h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-nov-s-florida-to-visit-kids.html" target="_blank">2012 Nov.

It's about a 2.5-3 hour drive, but half of it is through some pretty nice countryside. When we go down to LOTO, we stay in the Worldmark or Wyndham (same building) condos. When we're really lucky, I can use our Wyndham VIP status and reserve a 1 bedroom unit with a free upgrade to a 3 or 4 bedroom penthouse. I actually prefer the 3 bedroom penthouse since it's on the top 2 floors of the resort and have a vaulted ceiling and is lofted. The 4 bedroom penthouses are 2 full levels so they do have more room, but less light.</p><p> </p><p>4 bedroom penthouse: <br /></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Over the many years and 5 or 6 times that we went there, we saw a lot of changes to the area. For the better. Used to have nothing there. Last time we were there it had lots of stores (including a big outlet mall) and lots more restaurants. Bridal Caves is close by , as is Ha Ha Tonka and lots of hiking trails. It's a pretty area. Hope to get back there some day.<br /></p><p><br />

3 or 4 months ago, Angie started looking for another Wyndham 3 bedroom
accessible unit so we could all go to the ocean again. Turned out that
Myrtle Beach was the only drive-to ocean resort available during Layla's
Fall Break (this week). I've always been curious about Myrtle Beach.
All the traveling Ken and I have done and we have never been to Myrtle
beach! I was looking forward to seeing what the hype was all about. </p><p>Once
60 days 'til check in came around, I started checking for availability
so we could take advantage of our VIP privilege of using half the amount
of points for a reservation within 60 days. Somewhere around 40 days
prior, availability in a 3 bedroom unit at another Wyndham Myrtle Beach
resort came available, but it wasn't on the beach. So we passed on it.
A few days later, a 3 bedroom Oceanfront non-accessible unit where we
had reservations (Wyndham Ocean Boulevard in N. Myrtle Beach) came
available, so I booked it. Then I called the resort to see what the
difference was in the OV accessible unit and the OF unit is. They
claimed the OF was better and was open enough for a wheel chair. So I
cancelled the accessible unit----and got half our points back! </p><p>Now
all we had to do was wait until the 25th and hope Ken was feeling up to
going. Had a bit of a scare on the 23rd. Had to call for a "lift
assist" to help get Ken to bed. He had gotten the flu shot and covid
booster the day before and was running a low grade fever and was really
weak. Fortunately, by the 24th, he was feeling much better. By the

was another really great vacation. Started out a little iffy, but we
made up for the bad times by making some great memories. I hope to get
back to Myrtle Beach. Turned out to be even better then I imagined. I
was hoping for a beach similar to S. Florida. I love S. Florida, but
water can be a lot harder to get into there. The broad flat shallow
waters edge was perfect for Layla to play on and for walking on! I
don't know how well Ken was able to see us, but I think he enjoyed being
outside and visiting with other visitors. I think he's enjoying these
short trips as much as I am.<p> </p>momma labommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04183140117372459260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670079438960733777.post-51768007728219686562021-05-25T20:03:00.010-05:002021-06-03T20:05:45.881-05:002021-May 17-25 Reunion and Clearwater Beach, Florida<p> </p><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name">
2021 May Florida trip to Reunion
</h3>
<div class="post-header">
</div>
<p> If you told me a year ago we'd have at least 4 road trips with Ken
ahead
of us, I would have been skeptical. Especially with a worldwide
pandemic going on for over a year! But, thankfully, we have---Panama
City, Destin, Lake Marion, and now Orlando! And in a couple weeks,
we're off to St. Louis and Knoxville for another 7 nights (around Ken's
51st class reunion). </p><p>This was another rather impromptu trip.
Josh had vacation time he had to take and we had Worldmark points that
were expired in a Hawaii reservation for March 2021. I knew if I called
WM I could have them put them in another reservation, but it had to be
for a trip before the end of June or the points would be gone for good.
So I let Angie search for a trip. She found a 3 bedroom accessible
condo in Reunion, Florida, for 3 nights and another 3 nights in Pompano,
Fl. With the extra room in Reunion, Ken agreed to go, too. But I
didn't want to drive back from S. Florida, and didn't want to just go
for 3 nights, so I booked 3 more nights at Reunion before Angie's 3
using our VIP Wyndham membership. Ultimately Angie also decided they
didn't want to drive back from S. Florida, too, so I moved her
reservation back up to Reunion following the 3 days they already had
reserved. They couldn't go earlier because of Layla's school. About a
week before the trip, I found 2 nights at the Wyndham Clearwater Beach
resort in a 1 bedroom condo and asked them if they wanted to go there,
too, since it was almost the same distance from Atlanta as Orlando. She
said yes. Only problem with that was that Wyndham isn't allowing guest
check in at their premium resorts right now since owners had to cancel
so many vacations last year. No problem, Ken and I just stayed in
Reunion the extra days with the kids, then drove out to Clearwater and
checked them in. I was always curious about that resort, so I didn't
mind going and spending the day with them, then going back to Reunion
for our last night (minus the kids, again). <br /></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-17-21-on-our-way-to-reunion-florida.html?zx=4fe1932502ea2de8" target="_blank">5-17-21 travel day to Orlando</a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/wyndham-reunion-resort.html" target="_blank">our accommodations: Worldmark/Wyndham Reunion Resort </a><br /></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-18-21-hanging-around-reunion-and.html" target="_blank">5-18-21 hanging around the resort and shopping </a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-19-21-lakefront-park-and-more-shopping.html" target="_blank">5-19-21 Lakefront Park </a> </p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-20-21-hanging-out-waiting-for-kids-to.html" target="_blank">5-20-21 waiting for the kids to make it down </a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-21-21-disney-springs.html" target="_blank">5-21-21 Disney Springs</a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-22-21-disney-animal-kingdom.html" target="_blank">5-22-21 Animal Kingdom </a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-23-21-apopka-wildlife-drive.html" target="_blank">5-23-21 Apopka Wildlife Drive</a> </p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-24-21-over-to-clearwater-beach.html" target="_blank">5-24-21 Clearwater Beach (Wyndham Clearwater Beach Resort) </a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/05/5-25-21-orlando-atlanta.html" target="_blank">5-25-21 back to Atlanta </a><br /></p> I
was somewhat anxious about this trip. With Ken now 16 months since
being diagnosed with Glioblastoma, I was afraid it would be really hard
on him. But he seemed to enjoy it---as did the rest of us. momma labommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04183140117372459260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670079438960733777.post-87137238432050342022021-05-24T21:31:00.002-05:002021-06-07T10:43:39.885-05:002021 Wyndham Clearwater Beach Resort<p> 1 bedroom unit</p><p>We were staying in Reunion for a week, so when I noticed 2 nights pop up at Clearwater Beach at the end of that week, I booked it.

<div class="post-header">

<p> I had heard that Reunion was a huge resort, but I was surprised just
how large it is! I didn't realize it was an actual subdivision.
Worldmark and Wyndham just happen to have a fraction of the units there.
</p><p><span style="color: red;">"Reunion is a World Class Resort Community located in Central Florida,
less than ten miles from Disney World. It features world class amenities
and many wonderful neighborhoods with real estate products ranging from
Condos and Townhomes to Villas and Estate Homes. </span></p><p><span style="color: red;">In addition to three signature world-class golf courses, WorldMark
Reunion offers a selection of outstanding amenities and is home to the
Reunion Golf Academy. Enjoy the 5-acre Water Park, complete with lazy
river, slides and interactive pool. There is a daily activities program
with events for all ages, including bicycling and six lighted tennis
courts. For those seeking relaxation, the Spa offers personalized
pampering and there are three on-site restaurants with family, fine
dining or tapas styles to choose from.</span></p><p><span style="color: red;">Located throughout six different communities within the resort, the
villas at Reunion offer between one and three bedrooms. Guests can
reserve one of these uniquely upscale spaces and enjoy spacious living
rooms, dining rooms, fully-equipped kitchens, private balconies, and
other plush condo-style comforts."</span></p><p><span style="color: red;"> <span style="color: black;">Needless
to say, it was rather impressive. Apparently there are a lot of full
time residents there, too. I was a little surprised that it seemed so
residential. Where are the stores? Do we have to go to Irlo Bronson
Blvd to get to the stores? All that I could easily find was the Publix
about 1 mile down the road and a CVS across the street from it. Wasn't
until Angie and Josh got there that they found the area by the entrance
to I-4 (about 3 miles away) and it had several really nice looking
restaurants around it.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Our
timeshare units were in the Villas at Reunion. This is one of the
Villas buildings. We were put in---E102 on Cabana Ct. </span> </span> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihqM2umpeqdmKL9NX7drAYBqq74pep-dFEk0Iq-SNfBFv3yU8enB5nb4-lZWBVjvz864_B2wHhjBAutcOVO_R5g8h8My0nmYOud3_y4Re5k4H0n5odnW1PsWm5z_kz340chonCvhQK-qY6/s800/20210517_183730+copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="389" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihqM2umpeqdmKL9NX7drAYBqq74pep-dFEk0Iq-SNfBFv3yU8enB5nb4-lZWBVjvz864_B2wHhjBAutcOVO_R5g8h8My0nmYOud3_y4Re5k4H0n5odnW1PsWm5z_kz340chonCvhQK-qY6/w312-h640/20210517_183730+copy.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>This is the view from our back patio looking over at the Grand section of the resort---the hotel villas of the resort.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik5BjaEXcgUJcppWHHpwNU3QPDDb5PyjXyVcTahwISlOU6yX8derrC8KYnpU0sGy9mBY3WpgbzWC4a8BDhhC7e1pZTZqG2qOK4yT_QtQou8kch6XLawwAYJ0nKGrHCB6R-ZiQy07dbpg-b/s800/20210517_191639+copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="800" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik5BjaEXcgUJcppWHHpwNU3QPDDb5PyjXyVcTahwISlOU6yX8derrC8KYnpU0sGy9mBY3WpgbzWC4a8BDhhC7e1pZTZqG2qOK4yT_QtQou8kch6XLawwAYJ0nKGrHCB6R-ZiQy07dbpg-b/w640-h312/20210517_191639+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Inside our 3 bedroom unit. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHjq8J7W-5twYOZ2Ts-8e03WVWU_D2gobFRIMwZC-AJFHu5rzhgazTtHIBEUJmxqL7jJNEVBXn5kEOXpRhaBetl9nzkxBeXrgpgJBOX7oo9l8L9dmkvhcqqHPG-mme68pFCNny54PwlFo/s800/20210517_192334+copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="800" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHjq8J7W-5twYOZ2Ts-8e03WVWU_D2gobFRIMwZC-AJFHu5rzhgazTtHIBEUJmxqL7jJNEVBXn5kEOXpRhaBetl9nzkxBeXrgpgJBOX7oo9l8L9dmkvhcqqHPG-mme68pFCNny54PwlFo/w640-h312/20210517_192334+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>You

did do some furniture rearranging. We were suppose to have a handicap
accessible unit, but when they combined our WM and Wyndham reservations
so we wouldn't have to move, I think they just gave us what was
available with a ground level. But it was fine. No roll in shower or
bars in the bathroom, but Ken was able to manage with the walker and
wheelchair. I also moved the couches closer together so I could move
the little table over between the chair and couch. Moved the lamp over
there. That became Ken's area. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXT9mIh6KuXLLhP82EUunCHwV-rFpnSIQrgBMYXVrYToJ21Fv0VOmCMhBOb99CuzqDtEybp-4ggSA1B1ag1qGoYzyr7BBLu9TL67A0bJwBN7rF7-haMtPd_XS2gtvKdtTbnAvBljs1gSHR/s800/20210517_211759+copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="800" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXT9mIh6KuXLLhP82EUunCHwV-rFpnSIQrgBMYXVrYToJ21Fv0VOmCMhBOb99CuzqDtEybp-4ggSA1B1ag1qGoYzyr7BBLu9TL67A0bJwBN7rF7-haMtPd_XS2gtvKdtTbnAvBljs1gSHR/w640-h312/20210517_211759+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Ended

to the real master bedroom bathroom. We were suppose to have a
handicap accessible room. Somehow, I don't think this is one! But Ken
was able to manage with his walker. No accessible
shower in this bathroom. Plus the toilette in a little closet wasn't too accessible. No handle bars, either. I had even asked if this was an accessible
room when they called the next day to see how everything was. They said
it's on the ground level so it's accessible. I don't think he knew
what he was talking about, but since they aren't making us move
mid-week, I didn't complain.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggTtYLfn_lkwoZGMLzCT0RRzkxHxZKtjVMXyAB6Qs6C5bEAthu2Jf9HxMm04PyOm77rTwsIRbrB3WgNkksdI99EsU9RulvNXRKTunDGnIb6Lt39WhzeJn_tx77kAoFchvnDo7rsCcQiMz8/s800/20210519_110533+copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="389" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggTtYLfn_lkwoZGMLzCT0RRzkxHxZKtjVMXyAB6Qs6C5bEAthu2Jf9HxMm04PyOm77rTwsIRbrB3WgNkksdI99EsU9RulvNXRKTunDGnIb6Lt39WhzeJn_tx77kAoFchvnDo7rsCcQiMz8/w312-h640/20210519_110533+copy.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>The

first I wasn't too thrilled with the location of this resort and the
size of it. But by the time we spent 8 nights here, I'd gotten use to
it. I hope to go back some day.momma labommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04183140117372459260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670079438960733777.post-84229366635215429282021-03-01T16:17:00.002-06:002021-06-07T11:32:17.554-05:002021--Feb. 25-March 1 long weekend trip to Lake Marion, SC with the Hicks kids <p> Angie's been itching to go somewhere. So she hit the Wyndham site
looking for a 3 bedroom place for us all to go to. Started out looking
for Florida, but nothing was available at short notice. So she started
checking other places within driving distance. Ended up finding a 3
bedroom accessible unit at Lake Marion in South Carolina, so she booked
it. It was even half points since it was within 60 days. </p><p>So the
trip took on the goal of Ken teaching Layla to fish. Afterall, Lake
Marion is the largest lake in SC so there must be lots of fish!!!
Right????</p><p>So on Thurs. the 25th, we all waited until about noon,
then headed out. It was about a 5 hour drive. We actually arrived at
the resort within minutes of Angie and Josh and Layla. </p><p>It was a
fun 3 days and 4 nights. I guess the drive there and back wasn't too
bad, either. We got there in time to order pizza for dinner, then
settle in for the night. The next 3 days they found places to fish.
Also found some playgrounds for Layla. Angie also found a drive through
wildlife refuge that we drove through 2 days. Even the weather
cooperated with 2 days in the 80s! So nice to have
some warm weather again. I'm so ready for winter to be over.</p><p>The fishing was disappointing. But the visiting was great. I think we all had a great time! </p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/02/2-25-21-driving-to-santee-sc-for-4-nt.html?zx=9b899457a110090e" target="_blank">2-25-2021 drive to Santee, NC</a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/02/2-26-21-lake-marion-park.html" target="_blank">2-26-21 Lake Marion State Park </a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/02/2-27-21-santee-national-wildlife-refuge.html" target="_blank">2-27-21 Santee National Wildlife Refuge and Taw Caw park</a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2021/02/2-28-21-taw-caw-park-santee-national.html?zx=d4228e51c0ed2e23" target="_blank">2-28-21 Taw Caw park and Santee National Wildlife Refuge drive, again </a></p><p><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2021/02/2021-2-27-wyndham-lake-marion.html" target="_blank">Wyndham Lake Marion</a> <br /></p>3-1-21

Took us about 6 hours to drive there. We had never been here before, so was excited to check it out. Apparently this time of year, it's not very crowded.

<p> 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!</p><p>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. </p><p>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!<br /></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2020/09/9-27-20-drive-to-destin-fl.html?zx=496d6f0b80b3a74a" target="_blank">Sept. 27, 2020 drive to Destin</a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2020/09/9-28-20-pool-beaseley-park-and-around.html?zx=51a573490ad914e0" target="_blank">Sept. 28, 2020 pool and Beasley Park </a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2020/09/9-29-20-angie-and-joshs-13th-anniversary.html" target="_blank">Sept. 29, 2020 Angie and Josh's 13th anniversary</a></p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2020/09/9-30-20-back-to-beasley-park.html?zx=27e2b7f4c285689c" target="_blank">Sept. 30, 2020 Private beach and Beasley Park</a> </p><p><a href="https://livinglifeindallasga.blogspot.com/2020/10/10-1-20-time-to-go-home.html" target="_blank">Oct. 1, 2020 time to go home</a></p><p><a href="https://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2020/09/wyndham-emerald-grand-destin-2020-4.html" target="_blank">Wyndham Emerald Green 4 bedroom unit </a><br /></p><p>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. </p><p> 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?! <br /></p>

They took, "no" pretty well when I told them we weren't doing the owner update. </p><p>I tend to neglect the inside pictures when we have a place with great views.

<br />
Sometime shortly after Ken's radiation and chemo treatments, Angie
mentioned we should all go to a beach for a couple days. That sounded
like an excellent idea to me! Between Ken's cancer and treatments, the
Coronavirus pandemic, and the racial protests, I was ready to get
away!!!!<br />
<br />
So I hit the Wyndham site and looked to see where we might be able to
drive to for a few nights and enjoy the beach. Edisto wasn't available;
neither was Charleston or Clearwater. But for June 17-21st, Panama
City Beach was available! I'd never been there. Angie and Josh had
been there a year ago and said it was beautiful, so I didn't hesitate to
book it. I was even able to get a studio unit with a free upgrade to a
1 bedroom lower level. Then I booked the studio for Ken and me and
requested an upgrade if one came available. Didn't take long before I
noticed we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom upper unit! I hoped I'd be able
to change the kids' unit to a 2 bedroom unit, but they actually cut out
reservations for about a month due to what was suppose to be a limited
availability of rooms available as the resort was reopened slowly after
being closed down because of the pandemic for awhile. Wyndham was even
canceling guest reservations---good thing I reserved both units in our
names.<br />
<br />
Before the 17th rolled around, I noticed that Providence Canyon State
park in Georgia was right along the way. So I suggested we stop there
for a break. Angie and Josh liked that idea, too. In fact, that's
where they finally caught up to us.<br />
<br />
After a couple hours in the canyon, we continued on our way. The trip
took us about 8 or 9 hours to get there. Check in was the usual
routine---check in, then go to the "concierge/sales center" for our
keys, parking pass, and "owners' update spiel". After turning them down
many times, they finally gave us our keys and it was time to find the
parking garage and figure out how to get to our room.<br />
<br />
They certainly didn't do a good job planning out the complex! It's bad
enough that parking is across a busy street. Then you have to take an
elevator down to the sky bridge to go to another set of elevators to go
down to the ground level, then over to another set of elevators to go up
to the rooms! It made for a long trek from the garage to the room
everytime we had to go anywhere in the cars. I made 2 rts to the
grocery store 3 miles away and it took over 2 hours to complete the
trip---not to mention having to go over to the hotel building to get a
rolling caddy to haul the groceries up to the room on! <br />

Oh yeah---they also had problems with Angie and Josh's room. The
ceiling fan wasn't working and maintenance was having trouble getting it
to work. They needed to work on it 2 days while we were there. So
they gave us 2 $25 gift cards and a little box of candy. I also noticed
our fridge wasn't cold, but hoped it would be ok for the short time we
were there. But by check out day, the milk and fruit had spoiled. <br />

I loved the views from our room, but don't know if it's worth the hassle
to go there a lot. But I had a great time. I think the kids did,
too. I think Ken was anxious a good part of the time and before we
went, but hopefully he enjoyed the little get away, too.momma labommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04183140117372459260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670079438960733777.post-11687143776945849162020-06-20T11:33:00.001-05:002021-06-07T11:49:33.465-05:00Wyndham Panama City Beach--2020-6 1 bedroom deluxe<p> When Angie said it was time to go to the beach again, and she found 2 1 bedroom units here, we agreed to go , too. They had a regular 1 bedroom, we had a deluxe. The only difference was they were on a lower level (up to level 10), and we were on an upper level (level 20, I think).</p><p>Check in was terrible. They had some of the pushiest people for the "owner update". We were there during COVID and hubby has cancer. I told them we were not going to the update, but they persisted until I actually got mad. After driving 7 hours, I didn't feel like fighting for my parking pass.</p><p>But the units were really nice---at least ours was. The kids had a unit that needed repairs on the ceiling fan. Took over a day to get it done. They even replaced it and couldn't get it to work. At least they tried and gave us a couple $25 gift cards as compensation. </p><p>I liked that even though this was a 1 bedroom unit, it had bunk beds in the hallway. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1hY2uMEC3EbWa95kfNM3xObkAbZYAHtQlhj-v4g-8H3z6Q2mMz8A7-u-0Qx8vfzMTTgHVa-UW3MHOaR01TFqNNYpM5kXmOZv85kNNZdfv_HC52tSx0OaGDbc138Uz1S6bEl5exIfHTCyu/s800/20200617_175825+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="389" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1hY2uMEC3EbWa95kfNM3xObkAbZYAHtQlhj-v4g-8H3z6Q2mMz8A7-u-0Qx8vfzMTTgHVa-UW3MHOaR01TFqNNYpM5kXmOZv85kNNZdfv_HC52tSx0OaGDbc138Uz1S6bEl5exIfHTCyu/w312-h640/20200617_175825+copy.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>Nice size rooms.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">It's
been over 2 years since our last cruise. During that cruise, we paid
the $100/person for the FC Deposit. Of course we had no idea of what
was to come in the next year. Ken's diabetes caused his ankle to
collapse. For the next 1 1/2 years he was in and out of hospitals and
Dr.s' offices. Ultimately it appears they were able to fuse his ankle
and save his foot, but he's still a long way from moving well. But we
hope that a cruise will be a good way to finally get a little rest and
relaxation.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">So
I booked us an inside handicapped accessible room for $750/person with
gratuities included. At that point, we weren't sure if he'd still be in
his wheel chair full time or in a boot when the cruise date came.
Turns out, both. So when prices for a verandah cabin dropped to
$799/person shortly after final payment, I called to grab one of them.
But they said we'd loose our gratuities, unless we wanted to upsell to a
signature suite for $999/person---then, somehow, we would be able to
keep the paid gratuities. Sounded a bit fishie, but I liked the idea of
a suite, so I took it. Only thing that was a bit annoying was they
wouldn't increase the OBC for booking a suite with our FCC. They said
it stays at the level of your original booking. At least it was only a
loss of $50 OBC. And we still had the OBC for owning CCL stock. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Then
came the months of waiting to see what cabin we'd be assigned---and
hopes for an offer to upsell to a Neptune Suite. Almost a month before
our cruise, we got an offer. At $399/person, it really wasn't a bad
deal, but I noticed there were a lot of cabins available so I declined
it and hoped for better offer. 2 weeks after the upsell offer, we got
an offer to buy into their new Club Orange. Still not interested. The
benefits of priority boarding, special area in the restaurant for
breakfast, tote bag, upgrade within booking category, designated
concierge, and whatever didn't seem worth an extra $500. But they did
say they'd put me on a waitlist for a Neptune Suite offer (whatever
that means!). </span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-size: medium;">As
it turned out, we did get a waitlist call on Dec. 2nd (8 days before
our sail date) offering us an upsell to a Neptune suite. But they still
wanted the $399/person for it. I mentioned I hoped it would have gone
down from the previous offer to which she said she could give it to us
for $299/person. So, Merry Christmas to us, I took it! Maybe a bit
much for the benefits, but I'm ready to be spoiled for a while. I do
look forward to the breakfasts in the Pinnacle Restaurant, easy access
to the Neptune Lounge, and the larger table on our verandah---as well as
a much larger cabin. It'll only be our 2nd time in a suite. Only had
a choice of 2 suites to choose from. We ended up going with SA 7082.
Turned out to be a great cabin. As I'm sure all the Neptune Suites
are. </span></span></span></span><br />

dreaded the drive (which I did all of since Ken's driving ankle is in a
boot), but the overall experience made it well worth it. I had a great
time. I think Ken did, too. Since this was the first real vacation
he's had since his ankle collapsed 1.5 years ago, I'm sure he needed
this trip, too. </span></span></span></span>momma labommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04183140117372459260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670079438960733777.post-9629005872333846412018-09-24T08:22:00.000-05:002018-11-13T21:02:16.009-06:002018 Sept.

2018 Yellowstone: with Angie, Josh, and Layla:<br />
<br />
<br />
13 months of advance planning! Why so long? I
booked a week at the Worldmark West Yellowstone. Like Kihei, you have to be online
ready to book the resort right at 13 months out as soon as the
reservation system comes on line. Thus, after trying a few days, I
ended up with Thursday, Sept. 6th - Thursday, Sept. 13th, 2018.<br />
<br />
As soon as I told Angie and Josh that I booked a 2 bedroom unit at the
Worldmark in West Yellowstone, Josh said without hesitation that they
were coming with us (which turned out to be "me"). Neither he, nor
Angie had ever been there and Josh had always wanted to. So I was
excited about another vacation with some of the kids. I had extended
the invite to Tim and Faith, too, but they declined.<br />
<br />
A lot happened in the 13 month wait time!!! Most notably Angie and Josh
adopted a baby (Layla, who was 9.5 months old by the time the vacation
rolled around); and Ken developed char-cots foot and a bone infection
and spent 7 weeks getting antibiotic IV infusions that ended about 2
weeks before the trip. I was in limbo for the last couple months as to
whether or not I'd get to go. But Ken got well enough to stay on his
own and even dog sit while we were gone.<br />
<br />
Next came the debate on whether to fly directly into West Yellowstone or
into Jackson Hole. After waiting a bit too long to get tickets,
Jackson Hole ended up being a couple hundred dollars cheaper per person
(still about $550 rt), so our decision was made. I wasn't too upset,
I'd always wanted to see the Grand Tetons. Ended up not being any
cheaper since we ended up spending about $600 in hotels to stay in
Jackson the night we got there and the night before flying back home.
We hadn't planned to leave West Yellowstone a day early, but wasn't
looking forward to another long day of confining Layla to a car seat on
the 13th knowing we wouldn't get into Perry, Ga.until about midnight.
So we decided to spend the night of the 12th in Jackson, too. I'm not
sorry we did. The ride through the Tetons on the 6th, and the ride
along the back side of the Tetons on the 12th were amazing!<br />
<br />
As for Yellowstone---it didn't disappoint, either! Weather was
spectacular! Views were more spectacular!! Company was the most
spectacular!!!! <br />
