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.) Sam Scalise
