I checked that I had been to another country. They asked me where and I told them a Caribbean cruise. They asked where we docked and when I said Roatan, they looked it up and since malaria is endemic to Roatan, I cannot donate blood for 1 yr after being there.

I would hope that anyone donating blood would be honest about this. I just thought someone might want to know this to save them the time at the blood bank.

When my DW and I endured our last Timeshare Sales onslaught at Rancho Mirage, we regrettably signed up for their "Explorer Package" agreement: we pay them a large chunk of cash over time, and after it's paid off they'll give us a bunch of Starwood points and the right to endure another sales onslaught within a year.

We want out, now, for a variety of reasons. We've paid $600 to them over time. They, of course, won't voluntarily reimburse us for that amount if we cancel.

Since we've not received anything, though, I was wondering if anyone here knows if there's legal recourse in getting our money back. It's certainly unlikely -- I'm sure Starwood worded their contract very specifically to stop this kind of thing -- but also have heard that one can't sign away one's rights.

Since we've received nothing in return for the money we've paid, is there any chance of getting it back? Like a magic legal phrase like "by the power of the TUG Anti-Scam Act of 2003, you must return my deposit!"?

I thought it was worth asking, at least. Otherwise, we'll just chalk it up as stupidity tax. :doh:

Cheers!

Are there any resorts that you have enjoyed with accommodations more suitable to two couples...specifically, that there was at least a full/queen bed in the second bedroom?

Our first choice is Hanalei bay followed by Shearwater followed by Cliffs resort.

So I have my requests in with II, RCI & TPI.

Interval, my logic was I was pretty certain I could get Hanalei soooo I put in the request for hanalei, the Westin and Marriott using the Marriott and Westin as fillers.

So what do I find in my email this morning - a confirmation for a one bedroom at the Westin. Now don't get me wrong, it is a great resort it is just we fell in love with the porperty at Hanalei bay. One part of me says give it back, the other says you're crazy to give it back.

I guess what struck me about the resort and hopefully someone who has stayed there can tell me their impression, when I toured it, I just didn't get the "ALOHA" spirit. It felt too corporate.

We stayed last trip at Marriott beach club and the cliffs and much preferred the cliffs. ]]> US - Hawaii chellej http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110684 http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110679&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:18:48 GMT An increasing number of stores in our area (SE Pennsylvania) are open Thanksgiving Day.

Not only did I see it as a child but I took my children when they were small. It brought a smile to my face. And yes Santa is at the end just like it was before. And it's free. For a fee you can have a family photo taken

While in the front lobby there was a booth with candles on the left and lo and behold the famous Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins. Jordan's got the JM baker to come out of retirement to make them. I brought some home to my 91 yr old father. $10 for a box of 6.

I would go during the week because weekends would be mobbed.

In these trying times it was so nice to see a beloved tradition continue..

I ended up doing a Request First option with II with my April 24 - May 1 2010 NCV reservation trying to get an exchange to any Marriott in Hawaii for the same week.

II called me tonight and gave me the option to go with a 2 bedroom option at Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas. I decided to accept it knowing I could do the research and cancel it within 24 hours if I don't like it. Do any Tugger's have firsthand experience with this Westin? The ammenities look pretty close to the Marriotts. Reviews are mostly positive.

Should I hold out for a Marriott or are the chances pretty slim to get a Marriott and this Westin is pretty comparable? Thanks in advance for your opinions. ]]> Marriott Resort System Lamont32 http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110675
