Thanks for the suggestions. I just called MR. The gentleman I spoke to told me that I can do the Gold challenge, but not until my level gets dropped. He gave me his phone number and told me to call the day they make me silver and he'll set it up. I guess I have to stay 12 nights within 3 months from that point. He seemed to think it will be at the end of January.
By then, I will probably have re-qualified for silver in 2012. (I just added a night in Napa in January).
I didn't ask (but probably should have) whether or not I've got an roll over nights. It will, with the Gold challenge, hopefully be irrelevant.
Thanks again,
Abby
