Sorry, guys, but I just need to vent for a bit and then you can all tell me, "I told you so."
Having been burned once before inviting a guest that backed out, I let my husband talk me into doing it again. This time, though, it was his parents. My husband invited them (with my permission of course ) to join us for our Christmas trip this year. They were all excited about the trip, and really wanted to go, so I booked a 2-bedroom villa so that they could come with us and have fun with their grandchildren. I waited until they were absolutely SURE that they were going to go before I did this. Now, just a few weeks later, his dad says that he can't make the trip in the car comfortably. He said that if we (not he) were willing to rent an RV for the trip down then it would be more comfortable for him since he'd be able to walk around whenever he wanted to. Well, THAT'S not going to happen. I'm not dropping an additional $2,000+ when our SUV should be fine.
So, since he won't fly and won't ride down with us in our Freestyle (lots of space and seating capacity) they are not going to go. We don't need a 2-bedroom for just the four of us so I was considering changing BACK to a 1-bedroom but we had to borrow 2008 points for the trip. We're going to take a cruise instead of visit WDW next Christmas so it didn't really hurt us to borrow them. But now I'm a little pissed since we could have BANKED the point into 2009 and taken a longer trip than usual. So, we'll probably just stay in the 2-bedroom with all that wasted space.
Well, thanks for listening guys. I just needed to get this off of my chest since I can't really gripe about it to my husband. He's upset, and angry, himself and I don't want to make him feel worse.
So, go ahead and say it. I'm ready to hear, "I told you so!!!"
