Sharing this event. Looks like it’ll be fun for all ages - lots of stuff planned. With everything being so expensive these days nice to see a free event.

For many years we have happily used our deeded (home resort) weeks for two properties with Marriott. Both have been paid off for years. Unfortunately my husband signed up for Abound after getting a sales pitch and it quickly became apparent that the value of the points isn’t the same as the value of a deeded week.

When we called to try to resign from the Abound program and “just go back to using our deeded weeks at our home resorts” we got a run around. When we finally got on a call with someone we thought knew what we wanted to do after the call they basically sent us an email with a link to SELL our deeded weeks via the exit program.

What are we not understanding and what do we need to do to “just go back to using our deeded weeks at our home resorts”? What do we do with the points we have in the program if we exit it (if we even can)?

Please let me know if I need to clarify anything and I’m sincerely grateful in advance for this sub’s help.

Taking Amtrak north to catch the ferry from New London (NL) to Block Island (BI). One train gets me in to NL @ 11:29am and the ferry leaves at 11:50am. With having to get boarding passes plus the very short walk to the ferry boarding area is this too tight a connection (assuming Amtrak is running on time)?

Reading the ferry ticket fine print it says if boarding passes aren’t picked up within 20 minutes of sailing the ticket is automatically moved to the next sailing.
How strict is that policy and how on time are they leaving the dock?

TIA

Edit: Thanks everyone!

Wishing everyone health and happiness

Thinking of joining one of these. Main interests are a single membership for: gym, cardio classes, water aerobics classes all in a clean and nice environment.

Does anyone have a recommendation? I’ve heard they are both good.

Edit: Thanks all! I’ve made a decision and all the input was helpful!

Visiting the island next month and looking for a restaurant for dinner that has a good view, bar seating, great food, and within walking distance from the National Hotel. I looked at a number of places listed on the BI info website but could use some local insight.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Susan Ledyard was murdered in Wilmington, Delaware, and her death remains an unsolved homicide.

On July 23, 2019, the 50-year-old high school English teacher was found dead in the Brandywine River. An autopsy later determined her cause of death to be blunt force trauma and drowning, and authorities officially ruled her death a homicide.

The case remains an active cold case investigation. To date, police have not named any official suspects or made any arrests in connection to Susan's murder.

Nate Eaton spoke with Meg Morrissey Heinicke and Missy Morrissey, Susan's sisters.

Tagged as “spoiler” just in case…

Is it just me or is Emma’s house a bit of a nod to Vera’s house? There’s a long shot in E2 that made me think that.

Love seeing Brenda Blethyn in anything.

Can anyone recommend a tour agency that does day trips from Edinburgh to Drummond Castle (or combines that castle with others). When searching Viator I see only a very expensive private trip and was looking for something more economical. Get Your Guide doesn't seem to offer any trip like that. Didn't see anything offered by Rabbie's, either. Maybe there's a reason no tours are being offered? Garden lover and wanted to see the gardens there. Thanks in advance.
