i found TUG the same way by searching for Info for Imperial Hawaii.That must be in 1998 or 1999, after we bought at a resale store in Hanalei. One thing led to another, I quickly amassed a portfolio of 10-12 weeks at a time, many of which were in South Africa. At one point, my RCI and II had almost 20 years of membership and I wondered what I was doing. Before you know it, it has been almost 20 years and our RCI membership is up for renewal in 2020. Currently we are down to only four weeks and we may trim further to one or two. Thank you so much for providing us such a great place to hang out. Made some great friends and traveled with some of them. Looking forward to the next 25 years of TUGging.Happy Birthday TUG! I joined sometime in the 1990's. I used the Prodigy BBS with dial-up AOL. We bought our first timeshare in 1991 and I started looking for information. I found Fern's Cafe because I was searching for Imperial Hawaii and she owned there and had information about it. I learned a lot about timeshares from Fern over the years - she would always willingly share information.
I love TUG - you can always find helpful folks. Lots of great information about pretty much anything from specific timeshares to recipes, good books, and various experiences. If you need to know about something - just ask!
