Hello all,
We have 2 Vidanta Estates contracts each with 1 registered week and 2 Estates weeks (non registered weeks). What is the best way to monetize them (selling or renting) and where can we do that?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I’m trying to find the very beginning of the Mexico Belaire thread(s) that started around 2006 or so. When I use the search function I can only get back as far as 2008. I’d like to get back to comments prior to 2008.
Thank you for your help.
