A Starwood rep called me a few moments ago to clarify some misinformation I had received. She said that the SVO rep who e-mailed me (copied and pasted above) saying that the 2010 date was still a go was misinformed. "Due to unforeseen delays, the Aruba project has been indefinitely delayed."

I impressed upon her the need for people who live on the Eastern side of the U.S. to have somewhere to trade into. She said she understands and that there are many projects in the pipeline, but none are definite so she cannot divulge which locations they are looking at.

She said they are considering whether to add this information to the MyStarCentral site. Not sure why this would be debatable, as I'm all for open communications, but there you have it.

Bummer. That 3 bdrm villa was looking sweet!

that is exactly the words my starwood person used when i originally posted this post. still glad i didn't wait.

Well, at least they called you--that's something, I suppose.

Double MURDER!

I'm going to use the insanity defense and use all the conflicting information from Starwood as proof:

The newest gem in our crown -- Aruba!!
Aruba is delayed.
Aruba is indefinitely delayed.
Aruba is NOT delayed. Where did you hear such a thing?
Aruba is definitely indefinitely delayed.

Oh, and...

And don't forget to mention to the jury that there are Starwood people reading this board to help us with our "venting." That should seal the case right there. ;) Katherine
