Christine's Blog: A Slow Thanksgiving (12/1/08)
 

Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! I certainly did.

The rentals were pretty slow this weekend. Apparently Black Friday shopping was better than expected, which left the shoppers too tired to think about booking their vacation.

All in all the weekend was pretty uneventful. All of my renters got in fine, no one had any complaints, the housekeepers had no problems—so I guess you can say it was a great weekend!

On Friday, the Owner Community newsletter was sent. This month's “Question of the Month” sparked more responses than we ever have gotten (I guess we hit a nerve). So what we have decided to do is to turn the question into a poll on the site. If you haven't submitted your response yet, please take a few seconds to do so. We'd love to get your vote.

Have a great week!

Christine
