Hope you got your 'holiday' today and got away from your villa Frances. We are having a week off as we have guests in our villa so moved out. Wonderful. No visits to Home Depot or Lowes. What pure joy[clap]

I would never believe how much work we actually need to do to our villa every visit to keep it upto a high standard that encourages guests to book with us. Most of the owners on here spend most of their days doing as Frances has been doing. It is only recently that we could write about things like this in our trip reports, and of course as most days of our trips were spent upgrading the villa, we did not write trip reports as they would not have been published.

I am so pleased that potential guests can now read what it is we owners do on our 'vacation'!!![msnwink] I am even more pleased that you are finding it interesting. We have been here for 7 weeks now but I have not done trip reports in case they were too boring. Maybe I will think about doing a few[chatter][chatter]
