Hi Vic,
We came looking for you and Ron, only to find you had left Donna on February 1st. We tried to get into Victoria, but they were booked solid by the time we finally wiggled our way to Texas, wounded and sick, oh, what fun we had! (NOT!
)
Anyway, we came looking for you and stopped by the front desk, asked about moving from Llano Grande over to Victoria Palms. I like Victoria better, Al likes it here (yes, we are still here, till April 1st) cause the billiard tables are so much better here. The gal working the desk at Victoria made a lot of faces and body language, that leads us to believe she is NOT a dog lover to begin with. I know 4 of them is a lot, but they are SMALL, for cripes sake!
Anyway, the gal at the desk told us they were probably gonna have a one dog per unit rule after this year. We did not move, we were turned off by this gal's attitude. I have since heard that there are new managers over there this year, and some of the other residents are upset about a few things too. I guess it is hard to keep managers??? But, that is another entire forum, and not a discussion I care to start up.
I was sick at heart about it, I really liked it at Victoria, and as nice as Llano Grande is, Victoria suited me better, go figure. HAHA! One thing that I do like here at Llano Grande is that it is very quite, it is about 2 miles off the expressway, at the end of a dead end road. Yep, quiet! We are paying the same as what we would pay over at Victoria, and truthfully, we are not getting the same service. No instant phone. Same cable and cable internet (which by the way is working a LOT better than it did last year!) Two small pools here, not that nice big one like at Victoria. The facitlites at Victoria are much nicer, although they are trying here. They do have a new wood shop here, supposed to be the bestest in the valley.
Prices will be going up everywhere here in the Valley I would guess. That would not surprise me in the least. Since the 4 hurricanes last year in Florida, a lot of the parks here were much busier, and I am sure they will take this opportunity to raise the rates, once again.
We have made arrangements to go to another park in the valley next year, we made reservations starting January 1st thru to April 1st. I have cleared the dog situation with the current manager. Hope she is there next year! SIGH.
So, you gonna come back to the Valley next year???
