    • Tried to move date back a month
    • New date was going to cost $125 paid today
    • Cancel fee $75
      • Actual card fee charged, $25
    Perhaps the lamest business practice possible. Cancel cheaper than their reschedule fee. Obviously they have too many customers.

    Well I’ve started thinking about a survey of ‘day trip’ range casinos. There are obscure casino practices that are only discovered by an on site visit.

    I have offered to take my good woman to warmer, Gulf coast casinos for any cold snaps. Usually a 2-3 day duration, giving her a break from the.cold and walk along the beach … a treat.

    i hear you. my 'woman' loves winter, hates being away for long. we fight every year about how long to go for. most everyone we know thinks she's crazy except one. ironically, my partners wife is exactly the same as mine.

    Without the expelled immigrants, snowbirds, and foreign tourists, property and rental rates should become more affordable. One might follow foreclosures.

    Are vacation timeshare pitches now charging a fee to sit through their spiel?

    Last summer, I paid because the rate was less than Las Vegas room rates. But when I tried to reschedule (thanks to an unexpected $1,250 medical insurance bill,) they tried to charge half-again, $125, over what I'd already paid. It was cheaper to cancel, $75, tuition in the school of hard knocks.

    More recent news suggests Las Vegas is pricing itself out of existence. So I'll be making a survey of Dixie casinos and already know my good woman loves warm weather on the Gulf during winter cold snaps.

    I still want her to meet my brothers and Aunt Jane but it will be on our schedule, more affordable, and along with our comfort and critters. We're both old enough to not want to dance to ours, not someone else's tune.
