Destination Wedding - Maui's Maluaka Beach Park

Author: Diane Page


A couple seeking a truly magical wedding may opt for a
destination wedding on the beautiful Maluaka Beach in Maui.
Maluaka Beach is an ideal location for a destination wedding
because it offers the picturesque scenery of a typical beach
that is also adjacent to a beautifully landscaped park and
picnic area that is ideal for the reception of your destination
wedding. The landscaped area serves as a wonderful place for the
guests to convene and mingle after the wedding.

The couple may wish to incorporate the location of their
destination wedding into the jewelry they exchange as they
exchange their vows. A destination wedding on a tropical beach
is the perfect opportunity to incorporate beach glass jewelry
into the theme of the wedding. Beach glass jewelry is created
from discarded materials that are pounded and smoothed by the
waves and sand until they become smooth and beautiful pieces of
glass that can be created into beautiful pieces of jewelry. A
destination wedding on a beach is the perfect location to
exchange rings made of beach glass jewelry. These rings are not
only extremely beautiful but they will also serve as constant
reminders to the couple of the location of their destination
wedding.

Destination weddings are not only fun but also allow the couple
to incorporate aspects of the location into their ceremony and
reception. A destination wedding on a beach can not only use
beach glass jewelry in the exchange of vows but can also
incorporate beach glass jewelry into the decorations as well by
using beach glass jewelry in the centerpieces. The location of
the destination wedding can also be incorporated into the food
choices. For example for a beach destination wedding in Hawaii
the couple may choose to have a pig roast in lieu of a
traditional sit down dinner in order to invoke the feel of the
islands in the meal.

RV Camping Jobs - Your Ticket To Freedom On The Open Road and

Author: William Smith


Are you dreaming about life on the open road? You want to take
your RV to places you've never been before, seeing sights and
experiencing events you've only imagined. But there's a major
obstacle to your dream: You have to support yourself.

Well, the solution is far easier than you ever imagined. There
are three simple steps. First, recognize that you don't have to
be wealthy or have a sizable monthly retirement income flowing
in to follow your dream. There are literally thousands of jobs
out there waiting on you. These jobs can be found in the very
places you are dreaming of visiting. You don't have to wait
until retirement. You can follow the vagabond RV Lifestyle and
support yourself right now.

RV campgrounds, whether major chain operators, or small
owner-operated campgrounds, always have a need for seasonal
workers. Because of the seasonal nature of the work, these
employers don't expect you to be there year after year, although
if you do a good job, you'll be welcome back for the next season.

The jobs will vary from office work to maintenance, gate
attendant, construction, meeting and greeting, and activities
you may never have thought of. These employers don't expect you
to have a background in campground work. Usually, a willingness
to show up and do the work is all that is necessary. Good,
dependable workers are highly valued in this industry.

The second step in your pursuit of freedom on the open road is
to align your financial requirements to the income you will be
earning. The best approach is to totally eliminate debt. Buy a
used RV. Sell most of your junk and either save the money or pay
off debt.

Finally, you will need to find the job. You can do this by
buying any major campground directory and simply calling RV
Campgrounds in the area that interests you. A search on the
Internet will reveal many employers. You can also subscribe to
publications specializing in seasonal job listings.

Most importantly, make the decision. You can pay your way while
traveling the open roads and living the life of your dreams.
There are thousands of jobs out there. Go for it.

Timeshare Q&A: Understanding Types Of Timeshares Available

Author: Mel Tremaine

* What are the different types of timeshares available?

Timeshares are available in two basic types -- 'fee simple' and
'certificate.' Fee simple is similar to the ownership of one's
home, while certificate is similar to a lease like renting an
apartment. Another term for a fee simple ownership is deeded
timeshare property. Fee simple ownership is like owning your own
home and you receive a deed to the timeshare. On the other hand,
certificate ownership, also known as right-to-use, gives you the
ability of owning a timeshare for a specific amount of time,
much like renting an apartment, only much longer. There are also
some different consumer choices.

Examples of these timeshares include:

* Fixed week * Floating time * Points * Multi-location

The fixed week timeshare is the most familiar form and the
oldest kind of timeshare. This works by purchasing one or more
weeks to be used at the same time each year at your resort from
which the weeks are numbered 1-52. Once you have purchased the
number of weeks you will use the resort will guarantee that they
will be waiting for you at that time.

A Floating Time timeshare works by buying your vacation time by
the size of unit and season of the year, which is not designated
as to the actual date or week of the year. This type of
timeshare will give you the responsibility to contact your
resort each year and confirm your arrival to the resort.

One of the advantages of this timeshare is offering you
flexibility in your schedule; however, it is usually based on a
first come-first served basis. This means that highly desirable
weeks are often full during their season. Also, when exchanging
you should first affix or reserve your time at your resort
before the exchange companies will accept it for deposit.

Another type of timeshare is called "Points." This kind of
timeshare is the newest form of timeshare and has become very
popular. The way this works is you purchase a number of points
or credits, which will enable you to travel in a specific season
of the year. You can also use most credit or points-based
resorts for a maximum number of weeks purchased to a minimum of
one night. The only drawbacks for this are the accounting
systems. They are sometimes confusing and are subject to
availability similar to the floating time.

The Multi-Location timeshare enables you to have more
flexibility to visit other timeshares in other locations as long
as it is within the same timeshare organization, either far or
near as long as it belongs within the group.

* Which is the most popular type of timeshare?

The most popular type of timeshare is the deeded ownership or
fee simple but the points are also becoming more popular.

* What is a fixed week timeshare?

The fixed week timeshare is the most familiar form and the
oldest kind of timeshare. This works by purchasing one or more
weeks to be used at the same time each year at your resort from
which the weeks are numbered 1-52. Once you have purchased the
number of weeks you will use the resort will guarantee that your
timeshare property will be waiting for you at that time.

* What is a timeshare fractional membership?

A timeshare fractional membership is a vacation real estate
development owned by several members and operated for their
enjoyment. This means that each member owns a fraction of the
unit ranging from four to twelve owners per unit, a club
residence as well as an interest in the club facilities and
common areas.

* What is the difference between a timeshare Fee Simple
Ownership, a Certificate Ownership and a Leasehold?

The differences can be seen in how you actually have rights and
ownership to the property. Each system allows you to have the
time period wherein you can use the property.

In a Fee Simple Ownership, your ownership of the property is
forever. You will get a deed for your share. You purchase a
number of weeks in which you can use the property.

A Certificate ownership gives you a certain time period wherein
you own the property. This depicts a certain time frame wherein
you are a timeshare owner of a property.

Leasehold timeshare is when a state does to allow a deeded
ownership of a property. You have a lease on a certain property
in a certain period of time wherein you timeshare that property.

Timeshare Sales Nightmare: This Couple Survived

Author: Chris Crompton


Once you're gross income reaches a certain middle-class level,
you will no doubt be solicited to attend a timeshare
presentation. If you haven't already, you will almost certainly
in the future. Sometimes the request takes you by surprise.

My wife and I were staying at an inexpensive hotel near
Charleston, South Carolina for a weekend vacation. As we walked
down the beautiful Charleston streets, a nice man called out and
asked us if we wanted to take a tour of their resort. He said
they had just renovated it and he would offer us a $75 gift
certificate, plus 2 "ghost tour" tickets if we would take a 90
minute tour of the resort.

"I'm no dummy", I thought. I'd be crazy not to take him up on
his offer. It might even be fun to tour the resort for nothing,
but if he was going to offer a free night out on the town, then
this was an offer too good to refuse. He had us give him $10 to
"secure our spot" on the tour.

As we waited, my wife and I enjoyed the outdoor resort complex
scenery as we sat on a stone bench next to a beautiful fountain.
We both swore we would never actually buy a timeshare here (by
now we realized they were probably going to try to sell us
something). We knew we couldn't afford it. We just wanted the
free gifts. We came back a half hour later, got our $10 back and
sat and waited a bit longer.

The personal tour finally started. The rooms were very elegant.
This was almost like a museum tour, but we were getting paid!
What a deal! Then came the hard-hitting sales pitch. We didn't
know what we were in for. About 3 hours later, we were ready to
buy. The salesman had convinced us -- it made such great
financial sense. Another 2 hours later we had signed all the
necessary forms to become owners. They even sent a runner out to
get us lunch at Subway (for free) while we waited. What nice
people.

Driving home, we were a bit nervous that we had made a big
mistake. We were also giddy that we were now owners of such a
great timeshare experience. A couple days later, as I do with
almost every purchase, I checked online to see if I had gotten
the best deal. We had paid about $12,000 for our timeshare deed.
(We couldn't afford this, but the salesman told us we could rent
it out for enough to cover the payments.)

Well, I found that a similar timeshare unit was selling on eBay
for about $2,000. My heart sank into my belly as I realized I
had overpaid by about $10,000. I raced through all my contracts.
There seemed like hundreds of papers in the stack we came home
with.

Finally I found my golden ticket. God was very good to me on
that day. I had found the rescission clause which basically said
that I was free to cancel the contract anytime within 5 days of
the date I had signed it. It was day three. Actually it was day
4 if they counted Sundays. Did they count Sundays? I was in a
frenzy. I needed to cancel this thing officially, maybe by
tomorrow.

I actually contemplated making an emergency plane flight to the
timeshare company's headquarters in Florida to make sure it got
cancelled. I got a hold of someone from the company who said I
could FedEx it overnight to them.

I got out of my timeshare deed. What a relief. Now it was on to
the timeshare resale market to get myself a real deal.
