I totally understand as well! When someone asks him where we are going on our next trip he just says ask Lynn.

When i told my wife i wanted to buy at the Royal Caribbean in 2000, i got a "Whatever". Ever since then she is the Queen of the villa there, with all friends and family. Now i see a Royal Mayan for exchange, for extra family same week in 2010 it's "Whatever" She has no clue how hard it is to get the Mayan with our lowly S.A.

On the bookings, I usually just reserve, put on a spreadsheet and post it on the wall . There for all to see and I mention destinations a few months in advance, no one looks at it much now but to see where is next.

Stranger in a strange land, no?

Sadly, looks like I have to throw this one back. I'm reminded that the extended family "usually" gathers for the weeken of the fourth. Nevermind that this is a holiday week in Sea Pines...

Sigh.

You all are very funny.....

I guess I can't relate since I'm single and all my friends just love to tag along and really are clueless to what I go thru to go on vacation.

Unfortunately I can't share any of my conquests with anyone anyway since no one I know understands me and my timeshare illness.

They only know I'm always on vacation.

"Grok" is a generational thing. My kids (in their late 20s and early 30s have no idea what it means.

I've always found it to be quite a useful verb, though. There really isn't an easy alternate. I've always been surprised it didn't enter the general lexicon.
