Anyone else going? We will be there 10/31-11/8 and are staying at the resort. We would love to meet some other Tuggers if anyone is interested in getting together.

If you would like to tour the Governor's mansion the tours are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 2-4PM. You have to go online or call to schedule a tour at least a week beforehand.

On Sunday, November 3rd, the Bullock Museum of Texas history will have free admission. They call it First Sundays and do it every month.

Yes we are flying in the night of the 5th and flying out the afternoon of the 8th. We are booked into Wyndham Austin and even received a free room upgrade from a studio to a one bedroom deluxe.

Would like to stay longer but Mrs. Hitch is out of vacation days for the year sorry to say. I’m also traveling internationally on business both before and after the Austin trip so don’t have much time to spare LOL.

Would love to meet any Tuggers who will be attending the annual owners meeting!

Love me a good steak!

Not us. We'll be on our way to Florida for the winter. Anyone going to Daytona Beach or Destin this winter. Daytona Beach until January 5th, then on to Destin until mid April.

Damn, it’s hard not to envy you. Are you staying at Wyndham properties during that whole timeline?

Yes. It's off season so, so far it's all at half points. Probably will need full points over Christmas and New Years.

100% resale!!
Thanksgiving week is about the last week that swimming is tolerable at Daytona. After that, the high is usually in the low 70s. I hate how they don't heat the indoor pools to 80 degrees. I've lived in FL most my life and Oct-March is the best time of the year to be outside (not swimming). Ocean Walk and Panama City are both discounted 35% for resale owners for the majority of winter as well.

This is our dream as we approach retirement age. Timesharing full time for at least part of every year. Congrats on being able to enjoy the timeshare lifestyle!

My husband and I will be there, the 6th to the 9th. Staying at the Wyndham. Yes, would love to meet up. That steak house sounds tempting. We have family in Austin, as well, but for sure will make time for our TUG friends.

I have 2 tickets to the meeting if someone is looking to go. I could try to switch them over to you.

We are lining up early in San Diego before our Panama Canal cruise on Disney. Too much stress to fly into Austin and make it to San Diego to embark the next day.

Would you mind sharing how many total points this will cost you and the room type(s)?

Basically look at the point charts and in our case divide in half. Last year full points were during Christmas and New Years. This year will probably be the same plus Thanksgiving. We have already have the holidays booked At full points. In mid March last year we moved to Panama City Beach. Otherwise we'd have to piece it together, use full points for some nights and change resorts. It was easier moving to Panama City Beach for half points and upgrades during the entire rest of our trip. Spring Break isn't bad there anymore since some new laws were implemented and I can see the Harley-David dealer from the resort. Being a biker that's important to me for some reason.
