Brian...I would say the most recent banner I had was getting a bit full...kind of depends how full you want them though.....I would say maybe a few more trips with that one and a new one would work....

I know you just want to hang one in yur office.....LOL....

The structure of TS maintenance fees maybe illegal. They are certainly onerous for owners and we have no input or control over how high they can go. This amounts to taxation without representation. A TS project should never be funded strictly from maintenance fees by owners. To be legimate, the project should be required to market a portion of the rooms to the general public to prevent owners from being burdened with ever increasing fees. It is time congress addressed this issue. We must form a protest group to ask congress to examine the operations of TS's.

The TUG Banner #1 had a great time this January....it traveled to 2 resorts in Puerto Vallarta and made it's rounds all over them, on the beach, by the pool, sunning by the Koi ponds, etc. It also took a walk by a resort in pre-construction....It sure prompted a lot of questions and did a lot of advertising...it and we had a great time with it..LOL...pics to follow....first up the preconstruction resort, Belair...

Thanks Brian....I thought a few people might get a chuckle which was my plan...so it worked.......do I get a prize??? ....Only kidding..... ( was kind of nerve racking doing that one )

We had such fun with the banner and all the questions....we just let it lay out with us for all to see and inquire....by end of vacation though we were glad to send the "baby" banner to another person....I was tired of watching it...LOL....

(Sorry for the less than tropical jeans outfit, but a cold front came through on Thursday and dropped the temps into the upper 50's/low 60's -- at least the sun was shining :) Heading to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow--should be warmer there? More pics to follow. )

TugBrian....LOL...yup you do have some updating to do, but we know you are busy....I think the banner is moving faster than you can keep up...LOL.

Sure was a great idea but maybe a lot of work for you but we appreciate it....
