I’ve started packing groceries and dishes to go to DM. The trunk is nearly full so I quit since I still have to put the frozen and cold stuff in on Monday morning. My goodness but we have a lot of stuff LOL
Now we will have to go through the house, probably tomorrow, and mark the things that we are not selling so that Jeff will know not to take those into consideration. I thought I would be sad but in fact I’m kind of excited. We are moving on. We are doing what we want to do and although we love our house, it is a ball and chain right now to drive back and forth, pay the utilities here (whereas we can turn them way down being gone all the time) and the hassle of packing each weekend and still not having everything we’d like to have in DM.
If there is a position at a college that Greg wants, when he is done with WP, it will be a whole lot easier to move and then buy the stuff we want rather than pay for lots of storage, pay the moving costs for lots of stuff that can easily be replaced and beat it up by packing and hauling. Life if good! I’m excited!
I certainly hope that GW is too, he seems to be, so it is decided. I think that’s part of any decision that is the most difficult, the actual decision to do something or to pass.
I went to the hotel yesterday, which I have already told Bobbi and Cyn, and talked to Dilip about the domain for the hotel. He said they already had it (amazing since we own both of them but whatever). I looked at the forecast for business when Dilip was in the other room. Oh my gosh! This month should be sailing along with great occupancy and the start of building for the summer months. It’s sad to say that they are running a 1%, 4%, 22% and one night of 57% for the next three weeks!! Of course, with no internet presence, no online reservations capabilities, a dark and dreary lobby (the lights were all off) and not taking Corporate Lodging or any truckers it’s like they want to fail. In a way it is sad, in another way it makes me feel really good since when we owned it we NEVER faced those numbers! Guess we knew how to run a hotel that people wanted to stay at…at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
