All,
TUG really is a great community -- it has been my pleasure to be able to meet a number of TUGgers when on vacation, sometimes more than once. Jonell and I have met Steve and Carly on several of our trips to Oahu and they are wonderful people.
I purchased a small Aulani package to provide access to the facility when we stay at Marriott Ko Olina. We are staying there this July and I didn't know if my ownership would close and allow me to use the banked/expiring points to reserve a night or two at Aulani.
A few months ago, I asked Steve to check availability and he took the initiative on his own and reserved an available room for me with his points. I was very happy that he did this for me as I really wanted that access and we didn't know if rooms would be available for me at the appropriate time.
Today I got my Member ID and was able to book two nights with expiring points, and Steve will cancel his but I just think it is so nice when people do something kind and considerate for a friend. Thanks Steve again -- I appreciate the willingness to assist (and the creativity!)
Best,
Greg
