They had a Breast Cancer Society raffle at work and I stuck $20 in, got 20 tickets, didn't think I'd win. However, I won a 2-night trip to any resort in the Fairfield timeshare realm. I think Steph and I are going to be taking a nice trip to Vegas, our resort there is *THE* pimpin palace, $210/night for normal folk.

I have never won anything in my life.

Whoa. That's crazy. What kind of a car did she win?

she actually had her choice between 4 Chrysler vehicles all in the $25,000 range. :gle:
since she and my brother have 4 kids all under the age of 6 (2 girls ages 6 and 5, and twin boys age 2) :gle:
they chose a Chrysler Grand Caravan.

Heh... hopefully she can afford to pay the taxes on it.

Unlike some of the folks who won Oprah's "free car". :D

I'd still pay the $7,000 in tax to drive a "free car".... :D :kaching:

that is exactly the amount of tax they have to pay, but a $25,000 vehicle for 7 grand is still a big win. plus i think they can claim the tax.

Definitely was.... I don't think that she was gonna spring for the tax for them.

All that stuff was "corporate giveaways".... not "out of pocket". :shrug:

We (as in Cendant-TRG, who I work for) owns that one too. Trendwest-Worldmark's resorts are usually not at the same level as Fairfield, but the LV one is very nice on both sides.


Do you own points with WM?



how's the leg doing any LK? good enough to party hard? :)


I had it drained and a cortisone shot on monday, now I feel MUCH better. I can walk without crutches. In 3 weeks, when we are planning on going, I should be doing jumping jacks.


We are thinking of flying out afternoon friday, and taking the redeye back on Sun night/Mon morn.


Fun stuffs.

Shoulda let me know, we had a deal going where friends and family could get 50% off upgrade points.


Now I am going to have to find your contract and cancel it...MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH


Just kidding. Its cool that I have actually met an owner and you are on here. I deal with over 500,000 owners between the two brands. I look at your contracts, analyze defaults, payments, and we bundle them up and sell them to bondholders. Its really interesting stuff.

Next time there's a sale i'll let you know ;)
