One of the reasons that timeshares work really well for me is that I like Hawaii. And Hawaii seems to highlight the biggest disparity between hotel life and timeshare life in terms of cost. In this video, I want to highlight that from a timeshare perspective, staying in Hawaii is similar to...
Hi, I have a unit I'd like to rent in Hilton Hawaiian Village,... I've posted it on AirBnB and Redweek, but have had little success.

After spending six months in Hawaii on Five Different Islands over the last year, I thought I would share my thoughts on how you could choose which Hawaiian island would be best for you. I tried to keep my biases out of the choices as best I could. The truth is that there is really no horrible...
