Default Lurker Turned Poster

I have been lurking here for months and decided to finally turn to the dark side. Actually, would have done it earlier - the thread written by the timeshare guy a few weeks back got me pretty fired up - but the moderator nuked me thinking it was spam.

My wife and I are members of PE and soon to be Ultimate Escapes. Joined after looking at Lusso, ER, Markers and others. Chose PE b/c of a wonderful sales experience, Domestic locations that were unique (like Watercolor, Bend, Lake George)...and mostly, the ability to be at the Platnum level. We just had a hard time justifying vactioning at $3MM+ homes - when the $1.5-$2mm level seemed so nice. Now, I do not fault anyone for doing ER or Lusso, etc - fantastic companies and great properties - just fit for us. Lastly, I love the 3 tiered approach PE is taking. Very few people can swallow putting up the capital for ER Elite (even if the money is not a problem) - and many people want the ability to travel as empty nesters (HCC success and PE Premiere prove this) - the 3 levels will provide great opportunities for both club growth and intra-club upgrades as life circumstances change.

Enough with my commercial, but that is why we chose PE. Merger will be announced any day (I thought it was coming out today, but see nothing yet).

Have been to Watercolor, NYC and Reynolds so far. Looking forward to many more trips.

Welcome to the forums and I look forward to your reviews of PE properties you have visited.

Sorry about deleting you earlier as we get lots of spam registrations and we had to put in strong spam filters to avoid getting tons of posts about great cell phone plans, hot internet women, and discounts for Viagra prescriptions (not that there is anything wrong with those), but this is a Destination Club Forum.

OK, now we have just opened this forum to the google search for the above keywords...

But, welcome to the boards, DestiFan!
