Look out Destin here we come

I have booked my vacation today. It is 12 days and counting before I am sitting on the beach.

For those of you that haven’t booked a vacation yet I have some advice. Wait, we called today, and got a much better deal than a month ago. They gave us 30% off of the room one night free plus 18 holes of golf, deep sea fishing trip, boat trip for the family, and a bunch of other admissions around town. All in all it saved us about $500 by waiting a month, and we still got the room we wanted.

Do you have to attend a "no pressure" timeshare presentation?

No it is the same resort we always use. I guess people aren't traveling like they were over the last few years.

Where are you staying?

Which charter boat are you booked on?

I'm originally from Fort Walton Beach. I miss Destin.

My girlfriend LOVES Destin. Her family goes down there every summer. All I hear is about The Boat House...does that sound familiar at all?

We always stay at Surfside, and book thru ResortQuest. I have no idea on the boat, as I haven't been home yet to see the whole package. I am sure it is probably not a charter, but one of the big passenger boats. It really dosen't matter as I probably won't go anyway. I will probably play a round of golf if I can get my clubs in the car when we go down.

The Boat House sounds familiar, but am not sure.

I was incorrect on my earlier statement on the discounts. We got 33% off and an upgrade from a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom. We also got the fishing and the golf pass. Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Oh yea it is now 11 days and counting.
