The Grand Geneva Resort and Spa is an opulent, four diamond resort. Originally the Lake Geneva Playboy Club Hotel, it has its own airstrip, indoor and outdoor pools, ballroom and "Grand" ballroom. Quite the place!
The Holiday Inn Club buildings are separate and newer. Our unit is very nice, although as per their rebuild schedule it will be gutted and rebuilt next year. Every seven years they do this so that standards are maintained.
As owners of Holiday Inn Club timeshare we were able to golf today for half price - just $40 including cart. As you will see from the pictures that is a real bargain.
We were fortunate to be paired up with a couple of really nice guys, plus a friend.
On the left is Abhi, next Jim (who is undergoing chemo for spinal cancer - his "golfing" was limited to putting on a half dozen greens), Wally behind him on the cart, then my sweetie and me.
Our golf performance wasn't great, and the terrain was a challenge, but we had a terrific day with our new friends.

Headed to the Magpie Bar again. Blue Jays had lost the first game 4 - 5 and were half way through the second. Unfortunately, in Wisconsin there is no real interest in either the Jays or the Orioles - they're Chicago fans here, so they couldn't find a channel that covered the game. Blue Jays won the second, although neither game mattered. They had already secured the first Wildcard position. They'll play three playoff games against the Seattle Mariners in the Skydome starting Friday.

Life is good. Stay well.
