I received my new club member guide two days ago. I was disappointed in the fee increases but overall, HGVC club membership seems to be even more flexible and offers more options than a year before. I am glad to see the continued association with Club Intrawest after the wonderful time we had in Whistler in August 2008. I am also happy to see that the Vilamoura Resort in Portugal is now alive and well. I am also pleased to see the opening of the Gran Waikikian and Kings' Land.

On the other hand, I wish Hilton would have spent its money building new resorts in locations other than Orlando. With so many resorts in Orlando already, I do not think that opening Parc Soleil will add much to our membership. It seems that West 57th Street will be very difficult for non owners to reserve.

We will be cruising using HGVC in Europe at the end of February with Royal Caribbean.
