Selling Our House in Randolph NH (White Mountains)

Hi folks!
I've been a bit "absent" this summer on my blogs since returning from South Carolina, and I apologize for not writing as much lately.

It seems that as soon as we returned, it was time to begin planning once again to leave! Renewing our passports, planning for our upcoming St. Martin vacation in November, working on the house, working on our Portable Garages and Shelters, Discount Kids Clothes, and Fine Resort Vacation websites, welcoming new Global Resort Network team members, and preparing to go back to South Carolina for the winter (we miss all of you guys down there, and cannot wait to see you again!) - all those things seemed to make this summer go by in the quickest blink of an eye.

Plus, to top it off, we have made the very difficult decision to sell our White Mountains (Randolph NH) home after being in this peaceful paradise for more than 9 years. Actually, we have been in Randolph for much longer - John, for nearly 30 years, and I, for 20.

But, after doing a lot of soul-searching and realistically looking at our goals and dreams, it makes sense for us to move on. So, this is another reason for my writing having taken a bit of a back seat for the time being.

For right now, we have placed a complete listing for the Randolph NH house on our Fine Resort Vacation site here => www.FineResortVacation.com/RandolphHouseForSale.

I promise to get back to regular posts as soon as possible! Thanks for your patience!

Avoiding Travel Scams - Read & Heed!

I just saw this great article at the travel section of MSN regarding avoiding travel scams. Since I market really nice fine resort vacation memberships, this topic is of great interest to me, and I'm passing it along to all of you with the hopes that you will avoid these when travelling.

The more we know about stuff like this, the more pleasant our vacations and travel in general will be! Here is the article => The World's Worst Travel Scams

And, in the meantime, I just booked my own flights to St. Martin! We're not going until November, but we thought it was time to start looking at what's out there.

I'm pleased to say that through our own Global Resorts Network membership (the membership is actually with Gold Crown Resort), we got a FAR better deal from Boston to St. Martin than we found on Expedia. For the 2 of us, travelling non-stop on Jet Blue to and from, it cost a total of $1,207.10 (This price includes the taxes, which were over $100 each. Aren't taxes amazing?).

So, I am very glad to report that the travel membership has terrific value well beyond the actual resort stays. Please check us out! Fine Resort Vacation - Truly a vacationer's dream come true!

Our NEW SITE! It's Up & Running! Welcome To Fine Resort Vacation!

We did it! We have FINALLY gotten our new Fine Resort Vacation site up and running - and it's looking pretty good! It's pretty exciting to see the progress. So, if you visit us at the site you'll see our smiling faces on the home page - the same picture we are using here at this blog.

We wanted to use the same picture since it was taken on vacation at one of our favorite Caribbean luxury vacation destinations - St. Martin (where, by the way, we'll be heading back to this coming November for a few weeks).

We figured we should use a vacation photo since we are marketing luxury vacation travel memberships at the site. Makes sense, doesn't it? :)

Anyway, we also posted a page if you want to learn a foreign language - John & I have begun using the Pimsleur approach, and lo & behold, the method works! We are retaining what we have learned in our initial lesson, so it's quite impressive. Check it out here.

We also have posted a foreign currency converter, links to the US State Department and other links for up to date information on international travel, and a blog for the site itself (of course!). :)

We've also added a page so that potential members (or anyone who is interested) can view our newsletter where there are some amazing deals. For example, if you wanted to travel to Maui next week, there is a $298 special - which is amazing! $298 for the WEEK! This page gives potential members a glimpse at what the membership portal looks like.

We've also given a dollar-for-dollar comparison of what our timeshare ownership has cost us against how economical our Global Resorts Network luxury vacation membership costs. You can see that at our "About Us" page.

We've added an exhaustive FAQs page that addresses a lot of the questions people have about our luxury vacation travel memberships.

Throughout the site, we have illustrated the pages with lots of photos from the resorts themselves.

We'll post more information as it comes in. For now, I just wanted to share the good news about the new site! Please stop by and visit us - and if you are interested or have questions, don't hesitate to contact us - all our contact info is at the "Contact Us" page.
