What would the flight(s) cost you?

That would be the deciding factor for me.

Here is the what I'm weighting Flight is 360.00 out of Chicago. I have a 10 million dollar construction project starting about that time at work in my section also my son will be competing in South Africa next spring so do I run my vaycay account down to nothing between those two trips. I will get more next may. I guess you only live once and that way I could have the place in tip top shape for Rick and his crew. It would only be my second time this year.

"I guess you only live once" quoted by Waterguy......


I think you've answered your own question...

And $360 out of Chicago isn't bad at all. My kids will be back in school by then, I'd be happy to help you get the place in order for Rick G and his gang.

I'M TOTALLY SERIOUS, I'LL EVEN DRIVE YOU TO CHICAGO, I PROMISE, JUICE WON'T MIND....... :)

I'll go for you and will send items so you can live vicariously: pictures of drunk people, sand from maho, cruzan rum, and I'll even toss in a heat lamp for effect 8)

Hi Tom!

What an offer to have! And 360 dollars for a flight ticket sounds cheap. But I can understand that it can be difficult to decide how to use the vacation days. South Africa is of course a MUST.

That makes me curious. How many vac. days do you have per year?

Tom,

PLEASE go!!

I'm sure Rick and I would love a condition report on the villa from a reliable and knowledgeable source. Be sure to leave a shout out in the book for us!!!

I'll be sending you a PM later this week to ask about some of the changes that you made last visit.

16 days, that isn't much. But I was aware that the Americans have less vacation days than the European, but didn't know how many. In DK we now have 6 weeks :D . Envious?
