Update on our plans because, well, your my people!
we've both agreed we really really REALLY want to spend the entire trip in the bubble with perhaps a night or 2 at Universal first. Don't want to stay off-site because we're spoiled! We're leaning towards renting points for DVC and stringing a bunch of reservations together. Means going with David's probably for the number we'd need for a month. I pulled up their calculator and it was interesting to see the difference between the time of year AND which resorts are more $ I KNOW the prices I'm seeing have nothing to do with the actual availability just curious!
Hubby is almost more excited than i am! For those of you who've stayed at any of these resorts sell me on your favourites. I would love to stay in a one bedroom not sure if we can afford that (Already in love with OKW but found it just a tad removed from everything and a studio felt cramped with the 2 beds)
Hubby is pushing for February 2023 now to give us more time to earn miles for hotel at airports AND possibly 2 annual passes so I guess i need to kick my collecting back into high gear

I have adjusted all my travel plans and cancelled my two hotel reservations for December. AM were back within minutes. Which is good as I needed to rebook one of them to something closer to the airport and plan to use the rest to book flights. I've moved one cruise to March and added Disney to that and will move my Air Canada flights to then as well. I'll use AM to get WestJet flights for December and make that trip shorter, with the cruise and then some Disney. And hopefully the cruise and travel will be possible. Kiddo won't be vaccinated by then, but if he has to isolate when we get back it's the two weeks over Christmas holidays so not really missing much (except possibly family celebration).
what are your current dates ? We are sticking with dec 16-28 boys will probably miss a week school as they won’t be vaxxed yet. Not sure how I will deal with that one but we will figure it out..
Dec 3 to 19, but I am going to change the flights to come home on the 17th. And I know he will miss some school, but I am just not really caring right now. He will be in grade 7, and that is if he stays, we homeschooled this year and he really learned a lot and grew so much. It was nice to watch after a rough few months at the start. He wants to return to school in the fall but I am bot sure how well he will do.
Air Miles flights question here. If I book Air Canada flights, can I add my aeroplan number after I make the booking to earn the miles?

Here is a place I have been watching
The New ***Swan Reserve***

Often Swan & Dolphin offer businesses great hotel rates.
They offer great business centers too!
I don't know if either of you are here yet but

Went to Safeway this morning and saw a flyer correction notice at customer service saying no AirMiles for the 2L pop. So I picked up 6 off the display since we’ll drink it anyways. However when I got to the pop aisle, they had blue AM tags with the 0.95 and buy 4 get 40 AM on the shelf. So I picked up 2 more to make it 8. Didn’t ring up at register but customer service credited me the 80AM without hassle since it’s on the shelf tag.Great potential pop a polooza on our hands and I don't drink the stuff anymore. I wasn't going to go to Sobeys until tomorrow but now... might have to head out there as well. Report back Mel. Inquiring minds want to know.
