Location, location, location....

    I've been working on compiling pictures, memories, notes, etc. about places we've been to in order to create reviews. I have also been working on a system of rating each area and the categories within each area. Since asked to do this review blog, I have been extremely excited about it, but still stuck. I mean, I have my own opinions, obviously, but I don't know how to "professionally" state them! Sometimes I am too honest. "Bull by the horns" you could say, but I remind myself that that is what reviews are about; honest opinions, am I correct? So I will be as forthcoming and honest as possible. Though an optimist who finds positives out of negatives, I will solemnly swear to not suggest horrendous locations :)
Not like we'd ever stay somewhere horrendous anyway!

Here are locations I have to review so far:

- Sheraton Vistana Resort | Orlando, FL

- Hilton Grand Vacation Club Sea World | Orlando, FL

- Wyndham Bonnet Creek | Orlando FL

- Mariott Lakeshore Reserve | Orlando, FL

- Orange Lake, West | Orlando, FL

- Mariott Aruba Resort & Casino, Aruba (not a timeshare)

- Mariott Surf Club | Aruba

- Hyatt Escala Resort | Park City, UT

- Mariott Mountainside Resort | Park City, UT

- Waldorf Park City | Park City, UT

- Manhattan Club | New York City

- Hilton, Times Square | New York City (not a timeshare)

- Hilton Grand Vacation Club, Flamingo | Las Vegas, NV

- Wynn | Las Vegas, NV (not a timeshare)

-Trump Tower | Las Vegas, NV (not a timeshare)

- Harborside, Atlantis Resort | Nassau, Bahamas

- Grand Wailea Resort | Maui

- Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas | Maui

-Carnival Cruise | Caribbean (not a timeshare)

-Pride Of Hawaii Cruise | Hawaii (all Islands - not a timeshare)

I will create hyperlinks for each place once the resorts have e-mailed them to me!

OK, some places aren't Timeshares, but I still remember them! And, I must confess, these aren't ALL the locations. Now that I list every place, I realize how fortunate I am to have married such a smart traveling man!

    Tigh really is an awesome dad and insists we take our girls to Disney World at least once a year! That's why Florida is on the list so much! We do it smart and create lifetime memories for our girls. Tigh believes family vacations are far better than any toy you could buy your kids. And he has swept me away to some fabulous vacations to spend quality time, just us. Things get old and boring; trips create experiences and memories you can't replace. Tigh knows this to be especially true since he traveled the world with his family before I even knew him. In fact, we decided we wanted to get married once we had been dating for a while and I had to drop him and his entire family off at the airport for a month-long trip in Europe. The stories he told, pictures he showed and experiences he shared were so fun. He loves travel. And I love that he loves travel!

     Well, I better get back to compiling and organizing. Definitely looks like I have my work cut out for me! But how fun is that?! SO FUN!
