They assured me that in the event that any complaint was issued by their housekeeping it would have to be very quickly after the guest checked out to be sure no one else acquired the code to get in and use the condo. They would also ask that the condo not be cleaned and they would go and take pictures of it. I thought these policies made a lot more sense and left less room for deception. She also assured me that the housekeeping service they use has been honest to the point of often not charging them for things she did not need to do when things were cleaned. That's very comforting.
On top of that you can be sure from now on I will be using my handy dandy flip camcorder to take a video of the condo before we leave while showing the time and date on the cell phone.
I feel SO much better now. Thank you so much for your kind comments. God DOES always provide. I think this is actually going to work out great. We are going next weekend instead and Russ is going to be able to take a couple of days off. WOOHOO! So we will get to take a long weekend. That is a special treat. Now the girls are extremely excited because Daddy gets to spend extra time with them. They also gave us a wonderful rate and they seemed very interested in working out a long term agreement.
We still have not recieved the report of the claims of the horrid mess we alledgedly left. My friend and I both called to ask for it again. Weird.
Oh well. I am good now. I truly think it is a loss for this kind lady that she did not give us the benefit of the doubt but I don't hold any anger about it. I wish her the best though I do hope she eventually finds out the truth.
I truly thank you for your sweet words. I needed them this morning.
Hugs, Angel
