    I've canceled a few trips for 2009 due to DH's work schedule, and haven't re-booked yet. Also, I've got a few different requests in, but not sure if they will come through.

    The only plans that are definite so far, are........Disney in Jan., and Paris in June.

    If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

    BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

          Just got back on 1/02 from a week in New Orleans.

          1/10-1/17 - St. James Place, Beaver Creek

          4/2-4/9 - New York City at Marriott Marquis (using travel Package Certificate)

          4/30 - Priceline room at Wyndham New Orleans for Jazz Fest

          5/1-5/8 - Hotel de L'Eau Vive in NOLA for Jazz Fest

          Summer -- Still open, but we might fly to Madrid, stay at my RHC property, and then spend a couple/few weeks driving around Spain

          October 3-6 - Vancouver (Probably using a Priceline room)

          October 6-15 - Korea (Staying with my girlfriend's family)

          December 26-January 2 - Looking for something fun, but thinking about somewhere in the Caribbean

          And once or twice in there - Hawaii whenever airfares fall below $300 r/t. Possibly thanksgiving or sometime in the summer. Also Hawaii as an alternative to Spain.

          Then I have to figure out what to do with all of the extra timeshares that I am not using.

                      Wow!

                      Recession? What Recession...you all are traveling!

                      I've got your basic Bass Lake, Ca scheduled for 2009. BUT-it's over 4th of July. I can't wait. Fireworks over the lake..sitting in the boat. Very excited

                      Other than that, whatever comes in flex that's local and fits the kids schedule. Lucky for me, I live in Calif. So local means lot's of neat places. I'd like to try the Welk Resort..maybe for spring. Got my eye on San Francisco too. We'll see.....
