Note: even though we travel to Ocean Pointe every year, I've stopped adding albums yearly as they only do a soft refurbish every 5 years and a full refurbish every 10 years and we're always in the same style unit. What can I say? I'm getting old and lazy.

Thanks you Doug26364, I have missed your Marriott’s Resorts photos the last few years.
They are still awesome IMHO.

I wish we lived in the Midwest or on the West Coast. There are some great resorts in those regions.

Doug, thanks you. For those beautiful photos and that video was just outstanding :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: IMHO.

Doug, hopefully we are going to Hawaii next year. My granddaughter is graduating from college in May 2020 and my Brother-in-Law, daughter is graduating from high school in late June 2020. This is their gift. A trip to Hawaii. My Brother-in-Law is planning this vacation trip. At this point I do not know the dates or the island where we are staying. He is a retired Naval Officer and is now working for private contractor in Hawaii.

The one thing, I do know, The Commander-in-Chief and I are flying first class round trip and we are staying more than seven (7) days in Hawaii.
