Ha, ha, ha.

Sorry, I don't have any info  on the company you asked about.

But it cracks me up to hear about anybody foolish enought to get
involved in one of these gimmicks.  I am a FOOL.  I was up
at Tahoe; lost more than my pre-set quota on gambling; had time
to waste before dinner; was wandering around the streets; came by some
booth with a sign that said 'visitor information'; guy in it said
free ticket to Heavanly Valley Ski Area if you just go by this
Time Share Place; since I had so much time to waste I figured I might
as well collect my free ticket; never in my life saw so much scum (ie. 
ex-used-car salesmen); boooored to death for 3 hours; salesman actually 
wanted me to write a check for $9000 or so on the spot so that I
would be able to stay here for 1 week/year for the rest of my life; 
of course I could stay in tahiti instead, for a small fee; oh yes, 
must pay maintenance fee of $300/year on the time share unit.

I would have much preferred paying for my lift ticket.  I suspect
that you would prefer to pay your own way to Hawaii before your
done with these guys (you don't know what's waiting for you in Hawaii.)
