Of course! I’d love to meet you ALL! I’m trying to sort out if I can do the Liner meet at DHS in December. Plus, I know of at least one other person that says they’ll be at UOR in late January when I may be there.
I’ve only had one Liner meet-up, but it was such a fun time to talk in person with @FindMeAFishingSpot
I’ve gone the first week of February twice and love it each time. The weather is cooler, kids are in school. Ideally, and hypothetically, I’m trying to overlap a February trip with very late January dates…
I plan to book tickets for last week of January and first week of December. This would probably be the last trip on my AP. I don’t have enough points to book flights for trips at all the potential times. I currently have flights booked for late august (1 outbound, 3 return), Labor Day (1 outbound, 2 return), right after thanksgiving (1 round trip), Dec 3-5 (1 round trip), and Dec 10-12(1 round trip). Of these, at this point I’m likely to go on labor day vs the last week of august. Late November is not likely. For the December trips, if I go with MIL and SIL, it would be early December. However, if I go with siblings and niblings, I would go over Hanukah, December 10-12. But with all of this, I don’t have the points to book more flights now. /end Megillah
This past winter/spring I cut my hours so I could take more time off. In 16 weeks, I missed about 10 full days of work, and only took 3 days of PTO.
This fall, most of the jewish holidays fall out Saturday/Sunday, so I won’t miss 7 days like I did last year. Of course, Passover falls out on weekdays in 2024, so that will take some time. I may do a similar trim in hours next winter.
For me, it was 100% worth it to take a pay cut so I could have time to do what I love. I keep a close eye on my PTO. Right now, i have about 12 days banked right now, but have plans to use 5 of them right now.
I can tell Guest Services is slammed this morning with the news. They often respond quickly, if not instantly, to questions through social media. I asked my questions about 90 minutes ago…No worries, they’re more “research questions” than things I need to know!
Yeah I had originally planned for the first full week of February. But moved it up a week because I don’t need to experience Mardi Gras again. Rather have less commotion this time. Although if the dates are the same as last year, it would start on my last day I think.
