This took much longer than expected, but I'm finally trying to put together my trip report.
I'm not a big plan of split stays....but when you realize your DL plans wont work with summer camp schedule.. (and I had GCV booked ) at the last minute (within 2 months) we put together 6 days at Kidani in a standard 1BR, 2 days at POR (only ever saw SSR for July 3rd and 4th, but decided to save points) and 2 days at BLY Lake View 1BR...so, let the fun begin.
..or did I say rain? 2/3 the way through this trip, I thought my TR would be titled "a not so photogenic trip report". I know the prototypical Fla summer 15-45 minute downpour, but this was all-day cloudy and hours of rain. I spent more time in a poncho than all my previous trips combined. Photographically, there wasn't the good sunlight and skys that typically interest me. It did clear up a bit in the last few days, and I did wind up with too many photos to process.
I'll start with Kidani. We had a standard view. At online check-in, I chose "Pembe" knowing that some standard rooms had a partial Pembe view...and I got a room on the narrow "pathway" between the 2 sections of the Pembe Savannah We were on the 4th floor with a 7X5X room number (meaning there were 50 other rooms we passed on the way from the lobby. It was a far , far walk, but a far superior view to a bus stop view.
From a later trip day, here was our view:
