Hi Aaron--- thank you for taking time to reply!--- If I don't land an oceanview, I will be ok with that. Would just like to try and have the hotel oceanfront or oceanview---- I found the Schooner on Priceline for $164... so far I can't seem to find a bettter deal than that.... If I could score a deal less than that, I would be happy. Think I have a chance?...lol. Melissa PS:thanks for asking about my son---- no phone calls for weeks, but in his letters he sounds great---- he is doing far better than I am with it.... thanks!
