Good Afternoon, Box.:)

For our resident SPG experts - in a Westin mailing today they showed a picture of a pool in the foreground and some ski trails on the mountains in the background. Any one get that and know where it is? I just can't seem to find a caption anywhere.

Haven't seen the mailing, but from your description I would guess Westin Mont Tremblant or Westin Whistler in Canada or maybe the Westin in Avon, CO

Season tickets purchased with 30 year financing?!? And at an 8.5% interest rate?

Absolutely ridiculous.

The payments for that would be more than my mortgage. No thanks.

Can I go home now? Please?

Without getting into debate can't you just say, 'how is this relevant to my work?' :D

Dergon_gf wants to fly somewhere warm over New Year's now. She actually said "but you'll miles for making your platinum thing, right?"

Now where to go from CLE that won't have outrageous flight/hotel costs on NYE ......hmmm

Convince her to fly on New Year's day so the EQMs count toward the new year.

Thanks! And the winner is Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa, Avon, Colorado. That's going on the list.

Here's worse. My first week of working at a real job one guy had a new baby. When I talked to him on Tuesday, his son just started Junior year of collage.

:eek: A girl I dated all through HS has a kid going into 2nd grade. Im 25 and shes 24. She got knocked up about 9 months after we broke up and I went off to college.

I can't imagine ever shelling out that kind of cash for tickets to anything. I'm not sure I can even imagine spending $150,000 on anything that wasn't real estate.

First time I read this I thought you said she had the kid about 9 months after you broke up. :eek:
