NS: Won raffle at work!
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. LK |

Heh... hopefully she can afford to pay the taxes on it.
Unlike some of the folks who won Oprah's "free car".  http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=2341576 I'd still pay the $7,000 in tax to drive a "free car"....

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? Quote:
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. LK Last edited by LegendKiller : 09-30-2004 at 07:00 AM. |

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  LK |
