I've got one in my late father's estate. It's a mess. It used to be owned by Fairfield and now is owned by Wyndham but they never formally told me about the switch over. They didn't send me an annual billing for several years and then one showed up out of nowhere in the mailbox at my Dad's house. No mail had been delivered there in years, it all comes to my house since I am the executor. Once in a blue moon I check his mailbox and bingo there it was. They have my address and phone number from the Fairfield days but I didn't have theirs. Now they want over $7,000 in dues, fees, etc!! [bang]

They said I can't get rid of it through them, I would have to use a timeshare "broker". My brother's elderly parent in-laws had to actually pay a broker to take their timeshare off their hands. So they got screwed on the front end and screwed on the back end. Glad some folks have good luck with them. I'm not. [roll]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
