Dear Brian,
I wanted to connect with you to just say thanks for continuing you fathers tug baby.

In 1985 we purchased our first timeshare at la Renaissance, Atlantic city from the developer at full price. It was our first year anniversary and I was 25.

Years later I found tug and joined. At that time it helped me immensely.

Years passed and we enjoyed our timeshare and purchase our second, resale, from the association at cold spring. We had many years of enjoyment, actually trading and going to places ( using tug info) we would have never visited if we didn't have a timeshare.

When my husband passed away I couldn't enjoy traveling anymore, I also let my tug membership lapse. I let family and friends use my weeks.

Today, I am fully back into traveling with my new spouse, timesharing of course. Joined again Tug last year.

Thank you, even after all these years, I still am learning many things from Tug. You are a great service to the timeshare community.

I think the greatest feature of TUG is the widespread positive reputation and ease of access (just google timeshare cancel!) that makes this a super resource for those who have been 'talked-into' buying something they can't afford.

The fact is however, that 'how do I cancel my timeshare' is just the tip-of-the-iceberg! The real heart and soul of TUG is it's members and the owner/admins that keep it all running and make it a 'safe' place to learn, grow and enjoy time exploring new (and old) places.

thanks for all you do (Brian and Admins!) Cheers !

I would also like to Thank Brian and the Admin's.

Finding this forum has allowed me to purchase 3 timeshares, that I otherwise would never have been able to afford at full freight. I'm getting to travel to places that would have been out of my reach with out my timeshares...


Thank you for keeping this going
