finally grown up to be an adult!!!!

For those of you that didnt know, TUG was officially started in October of 1993!

I could not be happier to continue what my father and so many other timeshare owners began 18 years ago this month.

TUG would simply not exist without Timeshare owners so willing to help each other!

TUG Is Outstanding.

My favorite place on the Electric Internet.

Even more than FaceBook & eBay.

Right up there with E-Mail & U-Tube.

Keep it going.

The best is yet to come.

Happy Birthday TUG! I have been a member since the beginning, and still check in every day. I have learned so much and have made many real and cyber-friends on TUG. Many thanks to Bill, Brian and all the people who make TUG such a wonderful "timeshare family".

Happy Birthday!!!

Congratulations on a milestone! I also love TUG and check in everyday. I wasn't here at the beginning, but not long afterwards. I have learned so much from fellow TUGGERS! This is a great resource for anyone even slightly interested in timesharing. I learn a lot of non-timeshare stuff in the lounge too!

THANKS for keeping this great site going!!!:cheer:

Happy Anniversary! Lots to enjoy on the site (altho I used to get a little bothered by people who seemed to look down on those of us who bought from a developer before finding TUG -- I have really enjoyed the changes that getting into this mode of travel has caused for me and my family -- and TUG has helped with that since).

Happy Birthday! I know we wouldn't be enjoying all the advantages of time-sharing without this site. This site, and all the expert tuggers have been a god-send. Thank you very much for continuing what your father started!

What great luck to find this place over 10 years ago! Not only have I learned a ton about timesharing, I agree it's just a fun place to visit. I'm one of those who has to have my TUG fix fairly frequently--just to see what's going on. And I think it's one of the best--if not the best--message boards around.

Thanks to all who have been so much help.
