Time to Pack

Or at least time to organize.


It is so strange that I have not been billed for my villa yet. I rent this place from a friend at summer low season cost. That is a big savings from high season rates.

At first the owner required a deposit, contract and full price. Then he saw how I left the place, payment always on time, and how well I got along with the groundskeeper.

So he dropped the deposit, lowered my rate, and just kept it on a friends and family basis.

This year I requested an invoice 45 days out as usual and he said he would get to it.

30 days out I reminded him again and he promised an invoice.

A few weeks ago I called him and he laughingly apologized for not billing me and said you are in and he has just been slack about billing because I am the last person in the world That wouldn't pay the bill.

One week out and the invoice is still open.

Must be tough for a planner not to get the plan going on plan.

He completely trusts you. That's nice. I'm sure you'd be worried if he hadn't confirmed you were in.
