    I know better... but got sucked in anyway... will cancel. Spinnaker

    Just rejoined TUG. Was member years ago. Unbelievably I fell for the spiel again! We've owned at Waterside Hilton Head since 2001. We've used it and enjoy the resort when we go. Since moving to Texas last year, our usage will certainly decline I believe. Recently Spinnaker called and...
