Apparently, Moosie Dust abounds!
First, Happy Thanksgiving (early) to all the Groupies and to our sister site the Copper Creek Crazies (I mean that in a good way!). Second, students went home today and won't be back until Monday. I work tomorrow, as does Luv, but I should be able to get off by 2:30 or so. Began baking tonight working on a couple of apple pies. House smells great. Though it's just the two of us, we still like to do a whole turkey, dressing, potatoes, etc., etc., etc.
Third, and perhaps most amazing, we've gotten four of our five nights at VGC for our June trip! Dang, those rooms are hard to get. Right at 7 months, 8 a.m. sharp, and nothing available. They were there a couple of days before, but it appears someone was walking a reservation and beat us to the punch. Over the past few days, we've managed to get our first day, then our second day, both 1BR (and, of course, we've wait listed). We had already made reservations at Paradise Pier, so we were set if nothing else came through. Tonight, on a whim before heading off to bed, Luv decided to check availability. To her "grand" surprise, the last two nights of our stay were open--in a GV! We jumped on it, though we're having to borrow some points. At first we were planning to wait list a 1BR for the remaining night still. . .then we said, "we've never stayed in a GV before!" and have decided to keep it. Now, we're just wait listing that one single day in between.
As I've mentioned before, this trip is a special celebration: our 5th anniversary, my daughter's 18th birthday, and her graduation from high school all rolled into one trip. She doesn't know about the GV yet. That will be a "day of" surprise, one last "a-ha!" moment before she heads off to college a couple of months later. So, as I said, major Moosie Dust going on here.
Have a great break, Groupies!
