Passing it on... (by Phil L.):

Ken I have to agree with you !

As much as we love our Ridge Tahoe and our daughter loves going up for a few days she wants no part of owning and the hassles.

She has seen me for years list exchanges and wait and wait to see where we were going. In early years where we stayed was never where we asked for exchange.

She has seen me book Hawaii full trip in beautiful hotels and air/car in a matter of minutes and loves the hotels. Same thing with Disney World Hotel and we picked hotel we wanted and not some exchange company.

I think in later years when she has kids then timeshare resorts would fit but not when there young adults.

I was same way when young in that I didn't want to stay a week any place.

Our DD would rather stay at Harrah's or Harveys in Lake Tahoe few nights and with all the free comps you can stay free many times a year.

I was same way and stayed at Harrah's Tahoe and Reno most trips over the last 40 years until buying the Ridge.

Now even for short trips we stay free or one night free in Reno at Altantis or Peppermill or Harrahs with free shows and some meals.

Peppermill just had their grand opening of the new hotel section they built and we were given three free nights in the new rooms,dinner and gambling chips worth $200 for wife and $200 for me and its hard to beat that deal.

We still drove one hour up to Lake Tahoe for the day just like when we stay at our resort.
