bjritz, you said it in a nutshell...that was us,trying to get the most from the $$ we spent, drinking and eating to excess, and making a point to stay up for eve. entertainment, disco, etc...you wonder why they say "vacation from the vacation"..and the thought of "leaving the walls" was tempting..but so wasteful since we "paid for this, let's use it"...MoFromMonroe...we also miss the staff and fun of CN did it 5X before coming to our senses..maybe we will revisit again for a special anniversary or something, but for a short stay,then again, maybe not...not very cost effective..
