I have been really working a lot lately, and Todd asked if I would go to a time share presentation with him for a few hours...his reasoning...
#1 We would get a free breakfast in Celebration.
#2 We would get $100 visa gift card
#3 We would get a 4 night/3 day Daytona Beach vacation
#4 I have never experienced this before, and I needed to.
#5 He wanted to brush up on his sales tactics.
Well off we went with Brett in tow! I felt sorry for the schmuck that would end up trying to sell to us. We are the toughest people to convince to do anything if we don't want to do it. Nothing works on us. Ask our kids..they know 1st hand. :) We had a great breakfast at Celebration and the realtor lady was very nice. We did have a couple of short stops where we got out of the car a few times, and this was irritating Brett. He said to the realtor, "Hey, lady, you are driving us crazy!" All of us including the realtor was laughing. Then after showing us the condo--it was time to try to sell it to us. Todd and I decided to do the good cop/bad cop routine. I would be wanting to buy it, but my mean husband would not let me...Basically, the condo timeshare started out at 30k $657 a month. Todd got them down to $5957.00 by merely saying, "no". I don't know how these people can sleep at night they really tried to guilt us into buying this! If you know me "guilt" does not convince me to do anything rather I get angry that someone is trying to manipulate me. I don't manipulate well...We received our visa cards and vacation as agreed. I have decided that this is more lucrative than giving blood for money, and a great way to earn some awesome Christmas gifts! Hee Hee. Pictures are from after our adventure at the Lake Toho/St Cloud Lakefront--one of our favorite spots! Bretty got tired really fast!

We went to one once. . . and never again! I think I'd rather give blood. . . or shed blood than go to another presentation.
hey--it is "work" to listen to those timeshare presentations and say 'no' a thousand times before you finally get out of there...you deserve the visa cards and the vacation!! I love the pic of Todd and Brett...so cute. Everyone needs to do the timeshare presentation at least once, I guess...:)
Hey, we have gone to quite a few and could give lessons on how to get out of there fast after the freebies are given away!!! Can't wait to see you guys in October. Hope you got our email with our itinerary for the end of the month. We can't wait!!!
