Time shares are
amazing! Seriously, I love them. Time shares, home away and VRBO have been
super good to us over the years. On one
of our trips to Disney, we stayed at a time share with one of our friends. We had been there for a good three or four
days and all of us were pleasantly sleeping upstairs except for Ben, who was
having trouble sleeping and decided to go downstairs to watch tv and drift off
to sleep. At an early hour of the
morning, he was awoken by a loud knock at the door.
When he approached the
door, he looked through the viewer and saw a police officer. He said through the door, "I am opening
the door. I have children sleeping upstairs." Apparently, the officer had been called by
the management company with a report of squatters in our condo. Ben spoke with the officer and they went over
to the management office to discuss the matter.
It was cleared up without further incident while the rest us slept
through the entire situation.
While I am
always concerned when Ben sleeps away from the bed (because it means he doesn't
feel good), I can't explain how thankful I was that he was downstairs on that
night. The thought of a police officer
coming upstairs and walking into a bedroom, possibly waking up the sleeping
girls or any of us is not something I think about often because of the worry
that comes with it. I suppose this
wouldn't be reflected on as a "fun moment" in travel but then when
you realize that we were potentially squatters, you've got to find the laugh in
there somewhere.
