It's always a pleasure to meet a Tugger and meeting Gary was awesome. PcflEZFIng arrived from a stay on Oahu in Waikiki. He had some time to burn before checking in so I met him at the busy Molokai airport and took him around a bit.

We ended out taking a ride out to my place and I showed him around WaveCrest. We snapped a couple selfies off the lanai. Mine were too dark but Gary knows how to work his phone so his pictures turned out nice. :D

I went to watch the Molokai Farmers play the Lanai Pinelads this morning so Kim stayed home and met Gary when we came out to WaveCrest. The Farmers won 16 to 7 by the way.Then Gary and I went to Paddlers for a later lunch and he went and got some groceries so he should be set for a while.

He's got the lay of the land now so now he can relax and take his time to see the rest of the island. You have to pace yourself on Molokai. :LOL:

Tuggers are real. Here is Gary, Kim and I on our lanai.🤙🏻

I think the only TUGger that I met in real life was Fern Modena. Does that make me an old-timer?
Must be so. She was wayyyyy before my time! :D

Love this! I am planning a 3 day trip to Molokai for next year - is there a website where I can see if any Wavecrest owners have rental listings available?

@slip , its on my bucket list to meet you and the amazing Kim on day... Do you have a list of Wavecrest owners that rent out their units?

Most owners go through VRBO and AirBnB so you can check there. I also know some owners who rent their units and they use an island representative that lives here. I will check with her and post the information I get in this thread. I will tag you both.

We are having our Board of Directors elections tomorrow I may see her there.

This would be Great. We would love to meet with you both.

Yes. Yes she was. My DW and I got to visit her in Las Vegas while Jerry was still alive. Great couple.

I haven't heard those names for a long time. Facebook would remind me of Fern's birthday for a few more years after she passed away.

Many years back, TUGgers would arrange periodic meetups at various locales. I attended a couple for the Seattle area that were organized by Karen Gunderson. There might be 10 to 20 people at those events. It stopped after the Gunderson's relocated to Nevada.

I also attended a lunchtime meetup one time in the Puerto Vallarta Marina. There must have been nearly 20 people at that event.

Fern M. and DaveM, were the reasons I join TUG. They were full of timeshare knowledge and information. IMHO
