I wish I was there. And all of this without an “agenda!”

Let’s start some more of these. Anyone going to Bonnet Creek over Thanksgiving?

Or Pompano Beach mid-January?

Or Destin first week of April?

We live about 20-25 minutes from the Pompano Beach resorts so count us in. If no one else is interested you can still pm me and we can get together for a drink or a visit by the pool. Always happy to meet other Tuggers.

We missed Ron by a week or so in timing but his name came up quite a bit, mostly from those that learned most of what they know from him.

Vistana, Diamond, DVC, Wyndham, Vacation Villages, Bluegreen and some independent owners represented.

I can’t speak for others but I may now have a way to trade into Maui!

Thanks to Railman for hosting the event. I wish I could have stayed longer to meet others. As I recall, nearly everyone present was local, so meeting again should be pretty easy.

Awesome.

Maybe Linda will be in South Florida then as well. And perhaps we can get Ron to put on some pants and drive across the state to join us.

There is a "sticky" in the Lounge section called Sisterhood of the Travelling TUGgers where Brian is listing which resorts people are going to be at and what month. The idea is to see if any members are in the same area at the same time. We would like to attend the FL get together some day but we are never down there in January.

Thanks for sharing the photo and information. We need to plan a trip to Orlando for the Tuggers Keep Together in January 2019.

I agree and want to thank Railman as well. It was a fun event and he was gracious enough to supply snacks and drinks as well.

I live in the Orlando area so we will be around Thanksgiving if you want to get together at Bonnet Creek or nearby?

The photo was taken before we got there, but we also enjoyed it. Thanks, Railman! Let me know when you want to go to Kaanapali Beach Club!

Thanks for the invite . I’m sorry I couldn’t extend my week back home Maryland, to be with you guys “across the river”

Gotta say however, I’m worried for the future of timeshares if my rambling is informing new owners. And be very careful of what I have to say now. It’s only been two years since the beginning of my end, but everything is different now. And I would be remis if I didn’t say this: What ever success I had with Wyndham timeshares was due in no small measure to me ignoring the so called experts of the day.

So don’t pay any attention to the man behind the curtain. We are not in Kansas anymore

Well I for one will be at Bonnet Creek from 11/17 to 11/24 this year. I'd love to be part of a Timeshare owner get-together. If that doesn't happen, I'd still like to meet you and any other Tuggers at the Back Bay Bar for drinks. On me (if there's less that 10 people!!)

I've always found your posts helpful and chock full of useful information. And if Ron were to show up, I'd even buy him and the missus dinner!

That’s fantastic. I haven’t booked flights but have rooms starting 11/21. We will make this work!

Ron - are you available? I can see about getting you a room.

My wife is going to be a grand mother for the first time in November. We expect to be in San Diego.
