        Jim/Andie - the other thing is - the comps we can get are "picked" 3 per month - so we need to get 3 this month & 3 next month to take advantage of it -- nm - JenBro Mar 6, 11:39
  - i know i am not going, but, i can tell you, these things really just work out. you need to be a little fluid. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 6, 11:10 24

        this is a cool idea. -- nm - Diva Mar 6, 11:28 1
        
        Thanks! Ever since Jack Dawson mentioned the brunches with endless champagne I've had my eye on the Aria offer :) -- nm - JenBro Mar 6, 11:35
      - i get that, but, just book what you want to do and it will be fine. plans are made on the ground and on the fly and it will be fine. -- nm - Andie Mar 6, 11:21 15
        
        (as in, you should book whatever you want to do, and then meet up with whatever others are doing in between.) -- nm - Andie Mar 6, 11:22 14
        
        what you may or may not realized Andie - is that some of the comps are for 2 people - that's why we're trying to get a feel for what everyone wants :) -- nm - JenBro Mar 6, 11:24 13
        
        I get that. If I were going and someone was trying to micro-manage my trip and plan out every minute of every day, it would kinda piss me off after a - Jim Mar 6, 11:28 9

        there is a fair amount of that as well, eventually someone just needs to nut up and start walking. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 11:35
        
        yeah - those that don't want to join up on splitting comps do not have to do so. However - the chance to save yourself $75 here - $50 there - well - - JenBro Mar 6, 11:30 3
