I would go for the cheaper place - because I would be out doing things. I would not pay for the amenities unless I was planning to stay in the condo all the time and sit by their pool.
The guys will have no trouble finding a golf course - they are all over the place here in Florida. The condo owners can probably help you with the course fees and tell you which courses would be likely to have tee times available at the time your guys want to play.
Have a wonderful time! Remember, it's rainy season here and you may be holed up in the condo for half the time you're here - so bring some books to read, DVDs to watch, or plan some indoor activities like museum visits, or movies, etc.

mmmm.. decisions, decisions...
Vincent D'onofrio (cause I LOVE him), and Gerard Butler cause that accent is just too sexy. We have a doctor here that has an accent similar to that and we all fight over who gets to type him, LOL.
husband decisions
Sounds like my hubby. My kids absolutely adore him, but they work for everything they get from him. He must be a bit of a control freak, too. I am really tired of my husband making dumb decisions that I don't agree on and putting us in difficult situations. He gets "tunnel vision" and sees what he wants to see, there is absolutely nothing I can do. He nags me to the point of giving in. He is worse than the children. Then HE gets mad when I get mad,and tries to turn it back on me. He's very manipulative. It's exhausting also, especially the situation you described. Not fair; if she worked for four hours, she should get the same amount as big bro, don't care what she did. I hear you.
I know - and I really want out of transcription NOW - thus, the decisions! nm

Do you ever question your husband's decisions? Does he get mad? (sm)
 My husband got our kids to rake leaves Sunday for about 4 hours and told them he would pay them for it. Son is 10 and big for his age, daughter is 7 and smaller. They both worked hard, to the best of their abilities. I was cleaning the inside of the house while husband was raking with the kids. I went out several times and told them they could take a break if they wanted to and brought them water. He never offers them a break and he got aggravated when I did that. Last night he brought home the money to pay them and gave my son $20 and gave daugher $8. She was upset because she worked hard too but was afraid to talk to him about it. I encouraged her repeatedly to go outside (where he was) and talk to him and state her case, but she wouldn't go. Finally, reluctantly, I went out and tried to talk to him and he was furious with me, as I knew he would be. He said "what are you even doing out here talking to me about this??" He said he paid her what she was worth and that a 7-year-old girl can't accomplish a lot. I told him that the point was she had done her best and worked as hard as she was able. He then started fussing at me about the fact that I had gone out and offered them breaks and said that I was always worried about him "working them too hard" and that is why our son is overweight (adding to that a comment about the size of my rear). I told him that overworking an overweight child occasionally is not the answer to him losing weight. It just went on and on until I was very hurt and upset. Then he walked in the house and told my daughter, "Don't worry sweetheart, daddy is going to give you some more money tomorrow." and acted as if he had intended to all along and wasn't upset about anything.
Also, I tend to look back at decisions I made and (sm)
question whether I made the right decision. I will blame myself for things...but then often when I look back and think through exactly how I came to the decision that I ended up with, I remember how things were at that time, and how I felt, and I know that if I was in the same situation again, I would make the same decision. I bet you would too. You don't seem like the type of person who would make a big decision like that lightly. I am in the process of making a decision about divorcing. I am a Christian and I think I have probably stayed way longer than I should have. However, I have been praying hard lately, and asking others to pray for me, and things have been miraculously lining up and I believe pointing toward divorce. I am not expecting a bed of roses, nor to be rid of my husband, but I am hoping and praying for some oasis of peace in between his visits.
The father has as much rights as the mother to make decisions....sm
about the child, gifts, etc. I know you want what is best for the child but it's really between your daughter and ex-son-in-law to discuss this. Even if your daughter doesn't want this, there's nothing she can do about it other than educate the child about how much candy to eat at once is appropriate.
