Resubmitted my previous letter as well -- I'm worried that the larger outcry from the earlier effort won't carry through on this second phase, because people think that the danger has passed

Any way we can get the word out more widely?

Hey there! We did it once (for 12 days, split 5/7), and we'd do it again if the combo was right...as others have said, it's a great way to try out a new villa (or two), or a new neighborhood! The switch day wasn't too bad for us, although the evening before the 'move' was a bit less relaxing than us...

Hear, hear! Adding my name to the liamsaunt fan club

Thanks for the input, all! We're pretty laid back and really don't mind the enforced peace and quiet that the outages bring! we were mainly just wondering if we could expect it every single night, since this has been much more frequent than we've experienced in the past. Really appreciate all of the...

Good morning, all! Curious about your experiences with power outages? In our past eight trips, we've experienced about three minor power outages combined, but on this trip we've had four outages in three days, with one of them being over 4 hours!

Bon voyage!!

Please post DAILY trip reports (or at least photos!) to help those of us stuck back in the tundra (more snow coming Sun/Mon/Tues).....

Ha! That's the spirit!

Who else is clicking on the forum obsessively to counteract the oppressive piles of snow outside?

I'm in Boston, and we just got an entire winter's worth of snow in less than a week.

VIOL and Spice cam, take me awayyyy..........

Sent! Easy to do, took 15 minutes, wrote what was in my heart. No right or wrong way, really, as long as you stay polite and on point -- just writing the letter is important! Don't put it off...just send something! And then when this silly project gets denied, you can say that you did your part to h...

Wow, Kevin -- those are amazing!
