Owner since 1995. The bold I have been to multiple times ranging from 2 to 25 times. The two top location are HHI and Aruba with 95% being summertime. I was not lying when I mention we are a beach family. The rest of the resorts I have been to only once. The underscored means I have not visited the resort in 10 to 20 years. The * resort is my most embarrassing stay. After buying two resales in 1995, I allowed myself to be talked into buying from the developer at the Ocean Pointe location. It was in 2002 and I just went off to vacation after having earned my largest commission deal since starting at IBM (in 1978). I guess I couldn't wait to spend it. I rescinded before leaving and we leased a car for my wife instead, paying it all upfront. The ** was my worst vacation. It was in 1996 and my oldest son was 8 years old. We lost him in Faneuil Hall Boston during Christmas time. He had a speech impediment and was hard to understand. He was away for us for 15 minutes and was actually outside the Market Place where we lost him. He was the worst 15 minutes of my life up to that point.
