Thanks Brian, We have worked it out.....I am going to ship it to their resort via DHL from Puerto Vallarta.

I would mail it, but knowing the mail in Mexico, it is very unreliable and slow, I mean like snail slow, so I have the addresses for DHL in PV and I have the address for resort they are staying at in Orlando and I'll get it there overnight or such.

Hi Brian -

Received Banner 2 at Manor Club (Thanks clsmt!) Took pictures, which I'll send to you after I download to my laptop, and mailed out to Blackdiamond's resort. Banner should be waiting for him when he gets there. I also sent him an e-mail to let him know.

Also wanted to say that I'll be back at Hilton Head, Island Links this time, from December 28 - January 4. If you can fit me in, I'd like to try to get some pics in HH. I never did get it at Royal Dunes because I switched my week there from July to August. I could take pics at both resorts while I have it, they're right down the street from each other. I could also mail from HH early in the week to the next person's resort, so shipping would not be a problem.

Hubby thinks I'm nuts, especially as shipping adds up, but I think it's FUN!!!


boo...that week 52/1 is booked up solid...I dont see any space at all in there to get it to you in hilton head. looks like its doing some international travel in that time!

after january looks open for both though!

Brian - what about banner 2? If Victoria doesn't mind shipping it twice, she could send it to me after the Westin trip, I'll take my pictures on Monday, the 29th, then promise to ship it directly to Newport Coast on Tuesday. It will get there before her. (Marriott is great about holding your mail for you. That's how I got the banner at Manor Club.) This will be a relaxation trip to HH for us and the post office is close to Island Links, so absolutely not a problem to do. All depends on how Victoria feels about it. (AND you, of course!)

Just thought I would let you all know the banner is in Mazatlan with me at Royal Villas.

Then thought I would give you all a nice chuckle. We took picture with banner and timeshare salesmen, staff in timeshare office. ( told you I would do iyt heehe) I had to get up at 7:30 am to do this.....I do not do mornings on vacation LOL. The salesman were very accomodating...I told them I was in a contest and they could help me win!!! LOL.


Now I am trying to think of something creative to do with banner and another pic.......

What do you think....Yes, I am trying to win the lifetime membership.
Having a great time in Mazatlan and the weather is hot, sunny and humid, but we are loving it..........

Happy vacations to all.....

Oh forgot to mention, we drove from one part of Mexico to Mazatlan and followed a military caravan......are you ready...yes I took picture in rest area of them, as we ate our lunch and then I said what the heck I asked in my horrid spanish if I could take pic with them and banner.....my husband said I am crazy ( locita), anyway boo hoo, they said NO!!! Well nothig ventured, nothing gained!!!!

Happy vacations all. :cheer: :whoopie: :banana: :hi:

When you take it to the presentation, maybe you can have the group of SalesReps hold the banner up so you can take a pic. :hysterical:



Do I get any credit for coming up with the idea??? Can't wait to see that pic.
Have fun!!

The banner has the signatures of the people who have had it, plus the location and date of the signing. Thus proof that it travels the world.

And those of you paying attention will notice that banner 1 has a black pen and banner 2 has a maroon/fuscia pen.

Where are the Banner 2 Pics?

The Banner 1 people seem to be getting their pics in faster than the Banner 2 people. Is it the lovely pink marker that's keeping them from sending them in? Or are we just traveling so much we don't have time to upload a pic? I want to see where it's gone since I sent it away! :hi: (waving goodby to the banner as it was mailed to its next destination)

Hey Brian, I notice my line for Banner 1 is still not in bold (i.e. not confirmed), but fyi, the person with the banner before me has my address, and I now have the address of the person after me, so I'm all set.

GUILTY! So sorry but vacation was two weeks , then 8 days of problems upon return ( house problems, electrical and plumbing), serious illness of teen ( rotovirus and dehydration) ( sick dogs), you name it it occurred, and inability for whatever reason to upload while away. New laptop!!! ( and I think defective SD card, and lack of computer savvy skills...but teen has saved my pics so they are coming..hehe manana...)

Anyway finally I have many Banner pics in desktop, and will get them off to brian I hope tomorrow night....

Then the banner departs with me again to Nuevo Vallarta Nov. 14....

Banner is well and in good hands....and pink marker is fine too!!! :wave:

We were on the 28th floor so it was hard to get a close up photo. Here are several views:

In front of the Sheraton Wall Centre, Club Intrawest floors are near the top middle of the building (just below where the color of the glass changes).
