Hi I'm Irene (IreneLF) and found the TUG boards a yr and a half ago. Unlike many, I only own one timeshare, Smugglers Notch in VT., but have traveled a lot (mostly before the kids came along ) and try to help where I can.
I just met Big Frank at the McCartney concert and he's posted a picture of us - I must say we are both cuter than that

) and that is how I found my way to these boards.
My family consists of my long time husband and a 14 y.o. son and 12 y.o. daughter. It's because of the kids that we don't own more timeshares, (they eat all the money in various ways) but also because of them that we do -- after staying in a 2 BR unit there was no way I was ever going back to a hotel room for longer than a night or two.
I've learned a lot from all the people on TUG and just want to thank everyone for all the tips, past and future!
