We are now happy new Starwood owners :) We bought a resale Westin Kierland Villas EOY Premium 1 BR through a Tug member. Like some other Tuggers, we have upgraded our portfolio over the past 2 years. We never thought we would own a Westin given the retail prices, so are very grateful to TUG and the members who shared information and strategies with us. Have already started learning the nuances of the Starwood system and look forward to learning from the best- you.

Can't wait for our first use next year as we already have a reservation at Kaanapali in April.

Cheers!

Mike,

Congrats on the purchase -- and I know you'll enjoy Westin Kaanapali! Its a wonderful property and I've been impressed but what I've learned from other smart TUGgers about the Starwood system.

Good luck!

Greg
