We're planning a family vacation to Orlando. We're taking the kiddos (my kiddo and nephew) to Disney.
Through my job, I get pretty sweet vacation benefits. (free and reduced price accom.) I'm planning on getting three large (2+ bedroom) units for all of us. But, the caveat is that I have to wait until the last minute to get the space (a week or two out from travel) because paying customers come first. I work on employee vacations from time to time, so I know how it works and I'm not worried about us having a place to stay. We have tons of resorts in Orlando.
Anyway, my aunt has decided that she wants to join us. No big deal, or so I thought.
Ever since my aunt became involved in this vacation, she's been a nightmare. She's asked me at least 10X if I know where we're staying. Which I've patiently explained to her that I won't know until close to travel. To get the rates I get, I have to be the one checking in. I've explained this to her as well. We are going to be there Sun-Sat. I've told her the dates several times (as has my mom and sister) She keeps asking me the same inane questions over and over.
Today, she e-mails me and asks if she goes down on Saturday, will she have a place to stay. GAH!
I didn't even want her coming because I *knew* this is how it would be. I'm about to put her in a resort on the other side of the state.
Re: ::stab, stab, stab::
it's time to bust out the "as i've told you before, this is the situation" and attach all your previous responses.
or you could call her and ask her, "is there something you're not understanding? i feel i've gone over this several times, and if you are confused, i can explain again."
I just re-read her e-mail and actually, she wants me to fly down and stay Sat. thru the following Sun (8 days) because she can get a better airline rate. I am flying down with my sisters so that we can all rent a van together, so we only have to have one rental car.
So no, I'm not flying in early and staying late for her.

Crap...I Mean Crafts
It's exactly what she's doing.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
I have no problem sharing my benefits with my family that is grateful and appreciative of what I can do for them (which is everyone except her). I e-mailed my sister my frustration and she told me that my aunt is about to be voted off the island (vacation) by my mom.
This is my dad's sister...and it's his fault because he opened his big yap about us going to Orlando. She would have been none the wiser if he had never said anything.
