My timeshare offered a deal on a property away from the Strip in Vegas. I could not pass up the opportunity to use 75% fewer Club Points. Although reviews for this property were less than favorable, a one-bedroom was available for 594 Club Points. What did I have to lose?
How do non-golfers enjoy themselves while visiting Hilton Head Island? A rare snowstorm in South Carolina changed my plans to vacation at HGV Club Ocean Oak Resort in 2017. Six years later, a two-bedroom was available in January during Winter Break. I redeemed 3,000 Club Points from my Max account.
In this post, I share my end-of-year expenses for 2023. However, I am only using accommodations booked in my timeshare portfolio. Because I want to see my HGV Max savings from a different perspective, I checked rates for the exact stay on the Hilton website. Analyze the graph I created.
Do you need helpful tips for a stunning Oahu trip? I have only visited Oahu in June, July, and November. Each time the weather was perfect. I am back in July for a family trip with my son, daughter-in-law, and bonus grandbaby. We are staying in Waikiki for seven nights.
Did you know Charleston’s nickname is the Holy City? While looking through the HGV Max Member portal, I found a studio available during Winter Break at Liberty Place. If you have read my blog, you know I purchased a timeshare. However, you can reserve a room on the Hilton website.

Aloha! Can you vacation in Honolulu, Hawaii for $1000? Yes, you can, but you will probably need a friend who owns a timeshare or travel with someone who has an abundance of Hilton Honors points. In this post, I share how I vacationed in Honolulu without breaking the bank. Aloha!
Is August a good time to vacation in Orlando, Florida? I took advantage of a timeshare offer. Even though I am an HGV owner, I take advantage of different timeshare presentations once a year. This year, I accepted an offer from HGV and made a reservation at the SeaWorld property.
What are your rental car options in Orlando, Florida? I have not rented a car in years. If you have read a post or two, I often suggest using public transportation to get around instead of Uber or Lyft. However, in Orlando, I like to shop and make unscheduled stops.
I love New York and thought I would never relocate to a different city. Even though I only spent four days in New York, I briefly entertained moving if I could afford to live in Manhattan. Everyone I interacted with was friendly. I appreciated the warm welcome throughout my visit.
