So if your pics / video is released on the net of you and the missus doing the thing in the outdoor shower, pool or wherever, and it goes viral you won't be even slightly peeved?

Kids with toys. Need I say more.

Seems you missed the juicy bits in the last 50 pages of the thread.

Did you check out the Water Depth post linked in my sig?
Thanks. By sig, do you mean the wiki? If I click on your FT username, I don't see any links. Sorry am not an advanced user so please elaborate how to access that info. Thanks.

Sig = the signature at the bottom of each of his posts. You only see it on the full website, not on the mobile website of Flyertalk.

Just wat to confirm those rates are including tax? If so I say those are great rates. My Retreat quote for July, staying 10 nights is US275.00 ++.

Would one expect to be invited to a second managers reception if the stay is long enough?

What are the usual requirements to be able to attend an initial managers reception, lol. I assume this is a few free drinks/food?

I quoted it verbatim. I would assume that is tax inclusive had you not mention.
A user had way better rates for a similar travel frame.

I am there 10 nights in July as well. I’ve sent a couple emails over the last 1.5 weeks to try and get rates for upgrade but haven’t gotten a response yet. I’ve used the email address in the wiki for reception as well as an individual reservation agent at the hotel. Is there a typical response time for these requests and I am just being impatient?

Damn it. I feel so useless. Save me, @Splotly. Save me.....

Not at all impatient. They usually reply within 48hrs, 72hrs at the latest. Try emailing from another email provider just in case yours are getting put into their spam folder for some reason. If they don't reply within 3 days I suggest you give them a call.
