Vacation Thoughts and things to Consider

Thanks again Julie for some of your due diligence on the vacation options. Obviously the school schedule based people ( Julie and Carol) are looking at the weeks of 8/7 or 8//15. That being said have we have not discussed or thought about what day we would prefer to check in, Sat or Sun. The selections that Julie found have both Sat and Sun check ins.

Secondly, I would propose that we place Caroline Moon on the bottom of the list FOR NOW, until we have further details. With no pics, and we all know the extent of the money spent and not spent on the interior, we have no idea. Furthermore, 2.5 baths.

Thirdly, I like the idea of the Shorline A + B, however I have one reservation. The cost of the condo is one thing, and we all know the taxes and extra costs double the price. The price is still SOMEWHAT reasonable for the number of people We might want to call and just inquire if there is a one cost for both sides kind of deal. Some might notice there are no pics for Shoreline A+B. If you select them individually you would then find them.

Fourthly, with this many people ( 5 married couples, young toddlers, and then possibly three singles) bedrooms, beds, and a little thing called privacy are going to be hard to come by. Looking at our options for beds and bedrooms I offer this. Jamie and I are out of the honeymoon stage and so going forward to make things a little easier we would be willing to do one of the bunk bed or 2S options. That way we would only need a combination of 4 K or Q beds. Furthermore, for people inquiring or wondering Abby would most likely do a sleeping bag and Aaron a pack n play or porta crib.

Lastly, when we should book. Personally, I say we prioritize our houses from first choice to last and know what the cost would be. The sale/special link on the website gives a 4-6 week window on the dates available. Most of the houses last summer available in the sale link where of the very small or very large variety. I admit, I think we fall in the very large "frat group" size. Therefore I say we vigilantly watch the site and try to continue to check that one of our top couple choices are still open and wait for a special or something bigger( more rooms, bigger beds, elevator :) ) for the same price. Just my thoughts. And for some reason we get closed out there are other beaches and resorts down the coast. i.e. Emerald Isle and other highly recommended areas.

Phew.... thats all I got.
