My wife and I are complete Timeshare newbies. Our journey began by accepting two nights and $300 AMEX cards to attend a Wyndham TS presentation in San Antonio in August. We were sold on the concept and were very enthusiastic about the ability to rent 2-4 BR condos (La Cascada was very nice), but the $76K for 400,000 points and the "today only" pressure made us walk out with our AMEX cards. That evening I found TUG. What a revelation!!! I'm a daily visitor to TUG and have read back years of your conversations. We have now purchased 3 contracts on eBay for 884,000 CWA points, and the first one (420,000) should be in Wyndham under our new member number next week (we have received the Wyndham transfer of acceptance documents, they were signed, notarized, and mailed back to Wyndham yesterday.). So, finally, to my question: having these first points available by 11/11 (hopefully), what are the chances of my wife and I getting any kind of a room mid January to join you all at your annual Orlando gathering? You have saved us a small fortune and we would like to meet some of our benefactors.


Did you find anything yet? I have a two bedroom lock off at Star Island reserved for three nights starting on January 17th. I won't be using the other side of the lock off if someone else would like to use it.

Oops! Sorry to say we will have to miss the TUG get together this year. DH is having surgery on Monday and will need my help recouping. Please keep him in your thoughts Monday. Minor surgery on his back. Thanks to all of you for advice. We will try to be there next time.

Thanks for asking! We had a great time together; 18 people were there and so many were new-comers form TUG -- they were very interested in all news about time-sharing, and they came from many different states. Many are staying long term in FL. I'll be posting photos soon.

So happy it was a great time for all! We are here in Vietnam, celebrating the birth of our grandson, Sam. He arrived on Thursday, and he is so beautiful! Life is good!
