On my latest trip to Marriott Fairway Villas at Seaview, my travel partner IreneLF and I went to Brigatine and stopped in to see a unit at Brigatine Beach Resort (nice location and 2BR unit) - and checked out the location of Flagship (waaaay away from the Boardwalk) and Wyndham TS (a slightly seedy location)

What! You guys are slacking, you missed checking-out LaSammana?

The name alone frightened us!

Number 64: When people mention La Samana, you are immediately able to recall that Big Frank has been there and says it's nice.

LOL....Great thread!

You have no idea whatsoever if your check book is balanced, or if all the bills are payed, but you know everything available each day in II.

You set your alarm clock on vacation to make sure you call and reserve next year's vacation.

I'm going on a business trip in April and the dates keep changing. Last night I wondered if I was going to be there on the day that I have to call to make my 2011 reservation. So, I'm in that club too.

When your husband says "why don't you ask that Big Frank person or those other people with the weird names".

Yeah, been there too. DH once asked me what my "TUG buddies" think.

How about - when you check into a motel (one night stay) - and the kids ask where the "kitchen" is?
We now plan our vacations around where the nearest TS!
We've gotten so accustomed to TS that on the rare occassion when we need to stay at a hotel, my kids complain to no end and want us to get two rooms so they can have their privacy and own bathroom.

-When you set your alarm for insane times at night.
-When going to Hawaii means not having to set your alarm at insane times at night. very sad, but truly one of my wife's favorite things about Hawaii!
-You Know When resorts are "supposed" to bulk bank in an an exchange company, even though the those same resorts forget when they are supposed to bulk bank.

and you get angry when they don't!

You start getting the DTs when RCI's maintenance window gets extended.

You wouldn't dream of going anywhere that doesn't have wi-fi because coffee doesn't taste right if you aren't searching RCI for good exchanges.

We do far more non-timeshare vacations than timeshare ones by choice. I view timesharing as just another vacation option. We never attend sales presentations, nor view other timeshares. We actually enjoy staying in luxury hotel resorts more than timeshares. So I guess in our 23 years of timesharing, we have never become addicted even though I can answer all the questions the OP and others posted. However, I do find this thread very amusing and quite fitting for many people.

How about your sitting on a lounge chair at the Mayan Palace in Mexico smoking a Cigar and having a drink with about 20 family members and a
TS4m's Member named Pittle walks by and says hey your BIGFRANK Now both me and my family got a kick out of that one. Thanks Phyllis

OK, maybe you're not addicted to timesharing, maybe just the timeshare boards.

That could be. I don't mean to imply that we don't do timesharing. In fact we are off to Hawaii next month for a week at Kona Coast Resort and a second week at Wyndham Waikiki Beachwalk resort. In August we will be at the HGVC West 57th timeshare in New York City. However, we do spend more nights in hotels than timeshares.

Yes, we do spend time at home. I am retired so we can do what we want, when we want. We are off to Texas on Friday for 11 days to visit our son and grandkids.
