We stay I-81 to I-77 and then south-east through Fancy Gap. This year we tried something different on the way home because I have been looking for options to stay of I-95 through South Carolina. It is a very congested stretch through SC because it is only 4 lanes. There are plans to finally...

Points earned since 2018: 6,634,248 - that's $6,634 We try to load as much spending as possible on the PC card and double dip as much as possible, so that seems right.

Curious if WBC has gas grills? We just returned from a 2-week vacation at Wyndham Ocean Ridge (Edisto Island SC) followed by Sheraton Vistana Resort. We were really impressed by WOR, but one thing I really missed there was the gas grills - they still have the old fashioned charcoal grates. We...

So we skipped on Animal Trax this time. The price is up to $10 a round now (that's $14 for us Canadians)- hard to swallow when the prior week stay at Ocean Ridge had free mini-putt. We did take a peek on our walk around, and it is the same course, but the greens do look to be new material now...

Agree with @Mrs~Incredible it has always had this basic layout. The decor looks to have been refreshed a bit, but the basic layout is pretty much the same. Just returned yesterday, they are no longer serving breakfast at Zimmies (Marketplace is only option now).

Actually, she officially retired from full-time teaching about 3 weeks ago. Biggest and hardest decision she has ever made, but teaching gets harder and harder every year; it takes a lot of energy and commitment and she has helped shape the lives of so many kids (even now teaching the kids of...

Lots of us heading there it seems. We are at Edisto Island (Wyndham Ocean Ridge) right now and head home to Vistana on Saturday. @Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina (or is that Gina-Gina-Nana-Bina now?), congratulations to the new addition to the family! Amazing how life quickly life stages go by. I'm sure...

I found this one interesting on our trip last March with Sunpass Pro. Previously we had regular Sunpass on our vehicles. No problems at all in Orlando. When we returned home we used the express lanes through Charlotte NC because traffic was getting heavy, and the very first gantry I hit did a...

I guess YMMV. We were there for a March break week 2023 and never experienced much of that. The light was generally pretty quick with two left turn lanes from Osceola to Sherbeth. On returning the turnoff into the resort is before things start backing up for access to 192. We only noticed...

We own at SLR. Very nice resort, but we do prefer our Sheraton Vistana ownership so we trade SLR more than we stay. We stayed there last year in March 2023. I say yes, to all of the points above. A car is needed. Access to the Parks and DS is very good through the back door route, Sherbeth...

I agree that many groceries are shockingly expensive in the US right now, even without considering exchange rates. My biggest shock is pop (soda, soft drinks) specifically in aluminum cans. Generally, seems about double the price charged here in Canada for a case of 12. But for some reason...

Okay, here are a few in no particular order: - Badia marinades; Cilantro Lime and Mojo available at Publix, use all the time for a variety of recipes like spatchcock chicken - Blenheim's Ginger Ale; red top is blow the top of your head off hot - Boar's Head sauces - especially the Chipotle -...

@flav If you are GF look for the Red Lobster GF Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix. You can get the non-GF here, but Walmart in US carries both GF and non-GF. It's a family fav. @samsteele I'm with @scrappinginontario our US regulars list is long. Are you looking for food, cleaning products, beverages?

I get it, but TBH, rarely does a restaurant near Disney instill a feeling of 'that's healthy' in us (also from Canada BTW). The focus on high calories and large portions is why we don't eat out a lot down there. We own a couple of Timeshare Intervals in the area and eat in a lot more than we...

We like Seasons 52 on Sand Lake for a fancier meal. It is a smallish chain (about 40 locations nationwide) so you may be familiar. Nothing on the menu over 600 calories and most items considerably below that. Portions are reasonable - desserts in a shot glass keep those in check. We've dined...

Don't know the Berkley at all. Familiar with both Hilton properties and they get very good reviews. Park Soleil area isn't as developed, but lots of development going on in the area. Access to the parks is probably not as good from PS as from Tuscany - a straight shot down I-Drive to World...

I would point out that a lot of the small 1BR units at SVR are considered a full kitchen - generally the Cascades ones are full kitchen while the Lakes are not. The differentiation is the types of appliances, not the size. A full kitchen will have a fridge, range, microwave and dishwasher...

je me souviendrai toujours

From RCI: Mystic Dunes, a Hilton Vacation Club #RH55 Mandatory Fees Mandatory Amenities fee is 30.00 U.S. dollars, Cash or Credit is accepted. The Amenities fee is per day and per unit (plus Tax). This type of information is on the 'Urgent Info' tab for every listing on RCI.com So yes, they...

Looks like a soft surface update has been done (draperies, seating surfaces). These are done in all sections on about a 5 year cadence. Surprised that the carpet looks the same as always, but it does look clean, so maybe they are using the same pattern from the last update. Weird looking with...
