I won't be able to join you at that time.  It's just impossible for me to get those weeks off work.  
 
 I would truly love to return to PP again, and especially with everyone there.  
 
 Right now the PP is pricing over $100 less than we paid in May.  
 
 Wendy, if you get the chance to go to PP GO!!  You won't be disappointed, trust me.  I was a little worried at first because of the size, but everything is within easy walking distance.  It's very well laid out.  The only thing out of the way are the a la carte restaurants, and you really only go to those at night and you can hitch a ride on the golf carts.
 
 Out of all the resorts we have been to, this is the only one I would return to.  That has to say something.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

 Just to refresh your memory my dates for the PP are:
 
 Arrival - Wednesday October 26th
 
 Departure - Thursday November 10th

   I just converted Bellagio's deal for PP from Pounds into Canadian and that is about $1300/2weeks.  The cheapest I could find PP out of Halifax in April  was $2035/2 weeks. Very nice!

Bellagio ...Congrats!!!!
   Would have grabbed that deal in a heartbeat, you can't pass a deal like that up!!
  We may be able to depart TO on Nov. 5/6 but unfortunately not Oct. 30!!! We will enjoy talking about it on your visit.BUT we have some news.....Tracie's folks are going to celebrate their 50th next summer and are taking us on a cruise from NewYork to Bermuda for a week...The only thing is her sisters are coming (just kidding) and the only thing we have to cover is our bar tab...Which will be substantial, I assure you!!!    :D    :D  Sooo will be looking for info on Bermuda!!!
 
      Cheers....F&T

Huskypup:
 
 Looking forward to meeting up with you.  Incredible isn't it we live less than an hour apart and yet we are flying to Cuba to meet.
 
 What a crazy world we live in.
 
 More than likely I'll be waiting in the lobby when you arrive with drinks in hand!!!  
 
 I assume you are flying Thomas Cook.  Your outbound flight is via Varadero I imagine, whilst mine, being the final summer flight, is direct.
 
 F&T:
 
 You were quite right; at that price I just had to book it - it's just a gift.   With prices on the rise almost daily I just had to grab it first thing this morning before 10am - two hours later the single option was not available.
 
 I know that you will be booking late and we'll be able to discuss all this when I see you both.
 
 You sure will have to save your pennies for the Bermuda Cruise, the booze on board doesn't come cheap.

Well done Bellagio what a steal.  I know exactly how you feel as I got a bargain last December for the Casa Del Mar in Dom Rep.  I was sure when we got there we would be stuck in an annexe at the back somewhere!!  Turns out we had the best sea view ever, plus the sunset right in front of our room.
 
 No bargains this year round but I was still skipping around when I booked because I got the hotel that I so desperately wanted. It was a bit awkward to book as one day it would be on website the next day not. In the end I was just happy to book at a REASONABLE price and not take the risk of waiting.
 
 Your result, however, is AWESOME.  
 
 Carry on   :dan:    :dan:    :dan:

 It is a funny old world, you are correct we are flying via Varadero, and a welcoming drink would be appreciated.
 
 Can't wait now, just told Richard about your deal, he was amazed you can't turn down a bargain like that - Ive noted for next year though, try booking over the changeover week - possible bargains.
 
 Looking forward to the 3/11.

Congrats on your great deal. Whenever I see them I am not able to take advantage of it, oh well, one of these years I will. Have a great time in Canada and Cuba  :6:
