I've been reading about Mpumilia's preparation for her trip to the Cape. (I "armchair travel" with many of you!) When mdurette posted the picture of the kitchen facilities in the condo mpumilia will be using, my first thought was "No kitchen!" This got me thinking further about what we MUST have in our condo when we vacation. I think clean is a given....or at least, I hope so! Remember that we travel with 3 teens (our 21 yr old has mostly aged out of going with us) so my answers might not apply to someone traveling as a couple.
1) We have to have a least a partial kitchen. A two burner cooktop is a bare minimum...the kitchen at Samoset is my "line in the sand!"
2) I will think long and hard before staying somewhere without laundry in the room. We do stay places that have it in the building, but given two resorts...we'll pick the one with laundry in the room every time. This might change when it's just my husband and I traveling.
3) Parking. We don't fly to timeshares, and I refuse to go somewhere that I have to pay to park.
I don't need fancy swimming pools, gyms, spas, dishwashers, or a ton of entertainment. I don't mind a ding or two on furniture, as long as it's not covered in dust.
Interested to learn more about you all, and what you look for!
