Glad that you are home safely, and that you and your family got to experience such a wonderful trip....what great memories your family will share.

It was fun reading about your travels, and seeing all the pictures of the beautiful places that you visited. Be sure to post the remainder of the pictures for all to see......

Thanks Angela. Will do. My parents are really looking forward to Scottsdale in September. My dad had me call to find out green fees for Troon. Yikes. It was over $170. I think we'll look for a cheaper course. They've never seen Sedona or the Grand Canyon. This will be my chance to let them see that.

Boca,

Glad to hear you are home safe and sound. I certainly enjoyed the virtual vacation with you. We are all looking forward to seeing the rest of your pictures when you get a chance to get them organized and loaded up.

Thanks for sharing your family's trip with us.

Sounds like a great trip. I would like to do the same in the future, but take longer. Thanks for sharing with us.

BB,

I know that it is very expensive to play there, it is suppose to be one of the best courses in the area. We couldn't even get a tee time, since we didn't book in advance. There are so many nice courses that you will have no problem finding a nice one.

We used these sites to book Tee Times....We were able to find some discounts, and decent prices. Also, the Marriott has a nice course, and sometimes you can get two for one coupons. I will keep my eyes open for you.

This is a public course that was very reasonable, and my husband thought it was a very nice course.

Thanks Angela. You've done so much for me. Is there anything I can do in return?

We should have timed a meeting in Denver!

BB: PA and I met for breakfast and discussed Twin Rivers just yesterday! We could have met you tool, if our timing was a little different. That could have been done. I am very disappointed I didn't meet you as well.

We had a great visit and I respect PA 's efforts in trying to make all of our timeshare experiences good ones. He was on his way to an owners' meeting for one of his timeshare resorts in Colorado.

Cindy,

Yeah, I saw that on the WorldMark thread. I think we drove through Colorado when you were in Hawaii. We loved RMNP. And, I was in Denver at the airport yesterday. Don't worry, we'll get a chance to meet. Maybe the next time you are in Hawaii.

In any event, that concludes my cross country travel log

We enjoyed reporting it to you and look forward to doing it again sometime.

Annhhhhhh, I don't want the stories to end!

Thanks Boca for your posts. It gives us more places that we need to visit. There are just too many places to go and not enough time but we'll get there

DJ,

Don't worry, the stories will continue, just on another thread. The next formal trip is to Scottsdale where I will be staying at the Four Seasons Scottsdale. That's September 10-17. Also, just booked a week at the new Fairfield Waikiki for January 6-13. We've had Pono Kai for Dec 30-Jan 6 booked for a while.

I want to visit every Fairfield, Bluegreen and WorldMark resort over the next several years. I think I might be able to do about 80% of them in 3 years. Some may be difficult to schedule in given their remoteness. It'll be fun trying.

That's what it's all about. You are a good man Jim, and I loved hearing about your travels too! Glad you got home safe.

It was nice reading the rest of the story. Internet access was too expensive on the Norwegian Star to Alaska that even an Internet Addict like me stayed off for a week plus there was too much going on anyway.

Don't forget the pictures when you have time again.

Marti,

It took me about 6 hours. I flew home. I need to repost the pictures we get a new photo server.
