We have a good friend who rented a house in Anaheim for Disneyland. The neighbor kids would be out playing, and as soon as our friends pulled into the driveway, the kids would go inside and stay inside. The neighbors were obviously worried about the likelihood of a criminal in their neighborhood.

Sex offenders who live in your neighborhood have to be registered as such, whether owners or renters. What's to stop a shady person from staying in a house in your neighborhood for a week? Nothing. Someone will say it's the same for hotels or timeshares, same risk, but how many of us let our kids just go to the pool while on vacation? We are with our kids and grandkids constantly.

The biggest risk to your grandchildren is when they are driving in the back seat of a car on the freeway.

Doesn't have anything to do with inviting criminals into an otherwise safe neighborhood with kids.

I assume they were worried the kids would get shot? Well you need to keep them off of the freeway then. There are bullets flying everywhere on the highways now days. Road rage is out of control.

I'm hoping someone smarter than me can explain how increasing the transaction fee "ensure(s) the continued value of the PIC Plus program."

Jim the question is "ensure(s) the continued value of the PIC Plus program" to who? I think it is intended to benefit Wyndham not the owners.

Yeah, silly me!

See posts #9 and #11.

And it's "to whom."

Okay, so you think kids are dying on the freeways by bullets?

You have got to be kidding. I am talking about safe neighborhoods and keeping kids safe on vacation.
