I am worried

I looked at the Westgate Resorts website and they look like a very low end timeshare operation. Do our contacts stand? There are so many questions.

For the HCC faint-of-heart

In case you were wondering:

For the record. Heath Kirschner, Sales V.P. @ High Country Club states that HCC is not in talks with anyone to be sold. The company has been very successful with their business model and intends to continue to growth the company by providing extraordinary value and service to it's current and potential travelers.

You guys really got me

The reason for my ignorance is because I am sitting in Deer Valley with my buddies and I have no idea that the date was April 1st. You guys got my really good - Nice Job Bill.

And the date is ...duh!

You are SO right but, by the time I finished your message, that light bulb lit & I remembered the date.

Good one Steam, it had me for a few moments & fits this forum perfectly!

I love Deer Valley and I hope you are having a great time.

I must repeat - this was a joke

Now that the cat is out of the bag, you could change the title if you can.

Will decrease the number of calls to HCC. :D

Again, it was the worst night I spent in a long time.

Then again, I question what the reaction would have been if Westgate was replaced by UR/PE or Starwood.

Laugh if you must...

Westgate Resorts purchases High Country Club

-----------------------

I just received this incredible news about High Country Club and Westgate Resorts and I don’t know if I should be happy or sad.

The news was first broke on DestinationClubForums.com
