Marti,

Have you checked out 'The Quarter' at the Tropicana??? I know that you have been in AC not too long ago, too. I haven't been there yet, and am looking forward to seeing what's new in May.

Have fun, and keep us posted!!

Marti,

I tried to call you at 10 AM and they don't seem to have you listed. Perhaps you are registered under another name? I was trying to plan a "meet up". If you are going to be in Absecon for longer than today and you want to meet please contact me. Tia.

Originally Mariott wanted to build 18 buildings on the site. The Pine Barren Association blocked them but they went ahead with the project anyway - agreeing to build 9 buildings - this is why there is so much space between each building - makes the resort much nicer IMO.

Rain started Thurs at 9 PM and still raining this Morning

The Eagle building (even # units) face the Desert Springs Building
(odd number units) We have a view of the unit (1437) we stayed
at back in November 2006. The pine trees - shrubs - and other
trees looked like they were sitting in a lake early this morning due
to the heavy rains overnight. (Looks Windy outside this morning)
It is suppose to clear up and get up to 50 degrees later today!
The rest of the weekend looks good for the first weekend in March.

The Pine Barrens (New Jersey)


The Pine Barrens, also known as the Pinelands, are
a heavily forested area covering 1.1 million acres (4,500 km&#178
of coastal plain across southern and central New Jersey.

The Pine Barrens today

The only industries that still thrive in the Pine Barrens
are related to agriculture and tourism.

The Pine Barrens are the reason New Jersey grows
the third-highest number of cranberries in the country.

The first-ever cultivated blueberries were developed in the Pine Barrens
in 1916 through the hard work of Elizabeth White of Whitesbog,
and blueberry farms are now almost as common as cranberry bogs.

What weeks are in Gold Season
How many Marriott Points do you
get when you purchase a unit at MFV

I think that weeks 15 thru 44 are Platinum, and all the other weeks are Gold....I think that Marriott made a mistake with their seasons, at this resort. They should have added silver, and probably even bronze. JMHO

I think that we got 225000 or 250000 points when we purchased Platinum.

If you are thinking about purchasing, I would definitely buy resale. You can get a great deal on a gold season, at this resort.
