Apr 30 Come Thruuuu Payments! We're Halfway There!

T.K.

Firstly, let me thank you again for embarking on this luxury group travel experience with me. Much research, calculations, (and possibly, a partial sacrifice of my soul) is going into achieving the most high quality accommodations at the most affordable price for the whole. Receiving an invitation to another group trip, that's going to be half the length, not as exquisite, yet the same cost, brought it to my attention that I did my shit with the plans for this trip. I'm immensely grateful to have a group of great girls to help what was only an idea come to fruition.

We'll be enjoying ourselves abroad at a world-class luxury, real private villa.

(I added real because people love to quote Drake, "private villas only; I don't go near a resort," whole time they're on a resort. It's me, I'm people. I was quoting Drake, as if I even listen to him, while talking about our place in Jamaica, not even realizing, or willfully ignoring, the difference between where we were and what Drake was really talking about. This go 'round, we'll be able to quote Drake's line in its full truth. Where we're staying for our 2022 Caribbean Girls Trip, La Maison Michelle, is a real private villa; it's a standalone property, literally nowhere near a resort. And don't get me wrong, ya girl loves a good resort, but it wouldn't be right if I didn't differentiate what we're doing this December: next-level luxury!)

How are we doing on the payment plan for our private villa paradise vacation?

We agreed to do 6 payments of $341 towards the original pitch total of $2,050 per person. (Y'all paying 6 payments of $341 actually equals $2,046, but whatever, I didn't feel like nickel-and-dime'ing, so I'll absorb the additional 50-something bucks with my expenses).

6 payments of $341

After getting the final 14 solidified with an initial payment by the end of January, we said we'd continue monthly payments in March. As it's now the last day of April (at the time of this girls trip section blog post), we should have all made 3 of 6 payments.

We're on our way to a luxury stay!

We're waiting on a few, but in theory, we're halfway thru paying for our 6-day escape to paradise island.

January - payment 1 of 6 - passed
March - payment 2 of 6 - passed
April - payment 3 of 6 - passed
May - payment 4 of 6 - MAKE PAYMENT
June - payment 5 of 6 - MAKE PAYMENT
July - payment 6 of 6 - MAKE PAYMENT

Important: Persons not paid in full 120 days prior to departure will forfeit their spot at the private villa and their monies paid.

If something has come up, and you don't plan on making any more payments, I will NOT be upset; all I ask is that you let me know now, in order for me to prepare myself (or my jaws.. my mind is made up, this private villa paradise go' get paid for one way or another; jokes aside, we'll find a way to move forward without you).

As a reminder, the group decided we are not issuing any refunds under any circumstances; if you're backing out, we thank you in advance for your donation.

Shortly after receiving this general update, each traveler will receive a separate message with their specific payment history, to make sure you and I are on the same page.
