hi everyone,
we had the most glorious weather. high 80's and cool breeze everyday. when we got there (3 hours late) only 3 restaurants were open. so we ate at the atlas bar and grill and had the famous $15 burger.
Next day went on the rapid and the current river, had a great time. i did get knocked into a rock and i am all black and blue. but loved every minute of it.
we brought pineapple juice and peach nectar from home and bought a bottle of coconut rum so i mixed drinks in the villa and put them in thermos' that i brought from home. so we saved a bundle on drinks. and got a little tipsy :whoopie:
we stayed in the premium 1 bedroom in phase 1. our room was in fabulous condition,the furniture does not need to be replaced in that unit. the appliances, the TV's should definitely be replaced as well as the counter tops to granite.
harborside was crowded, 97% of the people were all from NJ. they all have off from school. the atlantis was empty. it was so nice to find a lounge chair at any pool.
2nd day we opted to stay at the the harborside pool. very relaxing. spoke with many clueless owners. there are so many owners out there that don't know anything about how to use the starwood system. it amazes me that people invest so much money into a timeshare and they don't take the time to figure out all the benefits.
3rd day went to the spa and that was great and very relaxing.
we had a great flight home. parked at the new jetblue parking garage at JFK and it was soooo convenient.
home for a while, we have a weekend trip planned for thanksgiving in NYC to see shows with all the kids.
i almost had internet withdrawal but i survived.
