It's supposed to stop raining a week from Thursday at which time you
might even see some of that famous Florida sunshine. Pass it on to Harry. :-) |

Yesterday was lovely here until about 2:30 pm, when the heavens broke loose and it rained continuously until about 9 pm. Right now, where we are, the sky is overcast and there's a little breeze, but no rain. Not easy shooting between the palms: http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ction=view¤t=f...

After all of the whining about people spending time with their children and grandchildren, he's staying at the Disney Resort! And he tries SO hard to make people here think he's SO cultured and refined!!!!! |

Unless you purchase the timeshare from an individual who was trying to get out from underneath the annual fees and maintenance cost you have been ripped off. Buying a timeshare directly from the developer is a VERY expensive way to go on vacation. They are NEVER a good deal. You can buy the exact same timeshare in the resale market for 10 -20 cents on the dollar from individuals trying to get rid of a timeshare. http://clarkhoward.com/shownotes/category/10/64/208/ -- Reginald P.

It is always fun going to one of those time share pitches with my brother in law. He is one of those gifted people who can crunch big numbers in his head instantly. He catches the salesman in mid sentence with the lifetime cost of the time share, summarized as annual rent, extended cost of the note and such within seconds of the guy telling us how "cheap" it is. Usually they will just give him his free gift and send him on his way as quickly as possible. It sorta depends on what you get, how much you pay for it, and whether you can take full advantage of what is offered. Currently, the Disney time shares similar to what we have are selling on the resale market for three times what we paid for ours about 10 years ago, even in today's sucky economy. I didn't have a "note," as we paid for the share in cash. My folks did the same in Mexico 25 years ago. We went with them for years and really enjoyed it. Listened to their pitch several times and agree with your take. If you can take advantage of it, depending on the price, it can be worth it. I've looked on ebay for timeshares in the same area of Mexico and (prior to swine flu scare) found that many people are happy to unload them for next to nothing to avoid the yearly maintenance fees. I expect between flu and drug cartel news that Mexican timeshares are pesos to the dollar. |

I expect between flu and drug cartel news that Mexican timeshares are pesos to the dollar. First time I was in Cancun, I went to a pitch about a timeshare south of there, on the way to Tulum. This was 30 years ago. It was a deal incorporating Mexico's land lease provisions for non-nationals. The developer hadn't broken ground yet. The "share" for two full weeks was about $1500. Went by the place again in 1992, I think. Fully developed, and shares now selling for 20 times the original offering price. Tulum and Merida are two of my favorite places in Mexico. |

Went by the place again in 1992, I think. Fully developed, and shares now selling for 20 times the original offering price. Tulum and Merida are two of my favorite places in Mexico. We've concentrated on the left coast. Cancun seems too much like San Diego, with most destinations being vacation spots and little else. Part of the charm is going to a city with some history and culture and locals to mix and learn from. Nothing like going to a city center and taking in the Catholic church, public market, shops and food. Great experience for the kids. They get to witness kids in very different circumstances. Good reference for their lives in the US. When I was 13, my folks took the family all over Mexico including a trip via taxi from Acapulco to Mexico City. It was an incredible eye opener for a new teen. That was in the sixties when there was a real middle class emerging in the country. It's since been squashed. |

We've done about a half dozen in the 17 years here in the "sunshine" state. 5.7" of rain in the past 48 hours and it looks like Friday (maybe) before another golf day. Can't complain about the rain. Just wish it wouldn't last all of the daylight hours. |

Casady Second that, Far better than any of *the "family" cruise ships (Disney, Carnival etc) We did a 7 day on the Noorham that was great. Destiny, Fantasy (Carnival)... not so much. For one thing you are totally isolated from being at sea on the Carnival boats. It is real hard to find a place where you can actually see it. Walking down the main hall in the Destiny is like being inside a pinball machine. There are chase lights in the floor and constant "bing bong" sounds coming from the casino. The only way I got up near the bow was to hang out with the band and get up there through the crew compartment one night. On the Noordham you feel like a passenger on a ship. The Crow's nest bar is really cool. They keep the lights dimmed and there is a place right at the bow with a big binnacle compass. From the 04 deck (or so) you really get a sense that this is a ship moving through the water. That's one of the appealing factors of the National Geo cruises...the ships look like...ships, not like...wedding cakes.

Walking down the main hall in the Destiny is like being inside a pinball machine. There are chase lights in the floor and constant "bing bong" sounds coming from the casino. The only way I got up near the bow was to hang out with the band and get up there through the crew compartment one night. On the Noordham you feel like a passenger on a ship. The Crow's nest bar is really cool. They keep the lights dimmed and there is a place right at the bow with a big binnacle compass. From the 04 deck (or so) you really get a sense that this is a ship moving through the water. Here's what a real cruise ship should look like. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...sney07b274.jpg The lifeboat deck is open, as is the bow and stern. -- John H- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I wonder what Harry is talking about? Looks as much like a ship as about any ship does! Maybe it needs a big notch out of the transom to take advantage of the cleaning action of following seas! Now *that* was funny! |

Can you actually see out of those windows in front or is that all for the bridge? Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks as if only the uppermost deck is open to the elements and the sea. If so, it's probably to keep all the kiddies from falling overboard. Nothing quite like being on a cruise with 2000 of your closest friends, eh? |
