MLK weekend(Jan) Mountain Run at Boyne
Easter(March) Wyndham Reunion/DVC Vero Beach
June Williamsburg
August Hemlock at Boyne
November-DVC/WDW- perhaps early in the month or Thanksgiving (thinking about taking advantage of DVC discount on PAP
December ?

Waiting for next year's school schedule, usually it comes out in November. Called and got a rather surly answer that the board had more to worry about(levy on the ballot) than next year schedule. I know I am not the only one as we have friends with HS students also and we are trying to "guess" the dates on Xmas break.

So here is my usual :wall: when this thread comes up.

Update: still no school schedule, oh well. Called again, district waiting on state to set OAA schedule and a "supposed" bill in Columbus that may push start of school post Labor Day.

November: Old Town Alexandria(skipping the Mouse in 2013)
December: Woodstone at Massanutten(had a small TPU balance leftover)

Nice to see that the TUG population has not fallen for all that end of world on 12/21/2012 nonsense. This is why I love TUGBBS. I really enjoy hearing about the good times other people have had and the good times they are planning. (It sure beats discussing shootings and gun conrol.) :clap:

My wife and I really like the Point at Poipu although haven't been there in several years. There's a big hotel nearby which has a beach you can use plus they used to always have a really nice Sunday Champagne Brunch buffet. Unfortunately don't remember the name but there's also a championship golf course next to it and it's easy walking to/from.

After 3 camping trips, including one in 26 degree weather, I have earned a couple of timeshare trips this year.

January - Camping (4th trip in a row we have camped) - to Galveston
February - DVC OKW for Princess Half Marathon
March - camping Big Bend
April - sibling trip to Scottsdale - at Westin Kierland
May - up to Virginia to see kids - try for get away at Manor Club
June - no where booked
July - New York City at the Hilton City Club
August - El Presidente in Cozumel for scuba diving (made this trade thru RCI - I know it is s a hotel instead of a timeshare, but I love this place)
October - Simpson Bay Club in Sint Maartin
November - back to Viriginia
December - home or camping (?)

Paid off to make those camping trips!
