Hello
Fellow Travelers,
I'm
sorry that this issue is a little bit late. The September issue
will go out on time. Schools are back in session and, for most of
us in the U.S., travel season ends with Labor Day weekend. It's
never too early to start thinking about travel plans for the holidays
and next year though. Our featured resorts are in Maui and Cabo
this month, but first -
1.
Here are a couple of items in the latest issue of "Westways"
magazine, published by the American Auto Club (AAA). The article
titled "What Not To Do" lists 5 things you should never
do when traveling -
-
Never
let your passport expire.
-
Never
leave for the airport without knowing the latest security
and luggage requirements.
-
Never
leave your street smarts at home.
-
Never
offend your host destination.
-
Never
forget to immerse yourself in the experience.
The
article ends with the note "The only trips we've regretted
are the ones we didn't take."

Did you know that the Au'au Channel between the islands of Maui
and Lanai in Hawaii is the world's best place for spotting humpback
whales? Between December and April, thousands of whales visit the
area to breed and sign autographs. If you've never seen it, you
should definitely add it to your "bucket list".

Most of you joined my email list between 2007 and 2009, when the
sign-up form did not ask where you would like to go on your ideal
vacation. It does now. To help me focus on the places where YOU
want to go, please email me with your ideal vacation location. Just
send an email to -
michaelg@globaltimesharevacations.com
and
write the City, State, Country, or Resort that you would most like
to visit. In coming months, I will try to cover all of the requested
locations in this newsletter.

Our first featured resort is the Maui Banyan in, you guessed it,
Maui. Pack your bags for an incredible vacation... A huge, two-bedroom
suite, oceanfront Maui Banyan.
For
the same dates and size unit, you'd pay over $200 per night through
any of the major travel providers.
However,
right now, grab it through membership for only $365. That's for
the entire week, for up to 6 people. That's
over a $1,000.00 savings on this one week alone.
5.
Our second featured resort is in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The "Cabo
Villas Beach Resort & Spa" in
Cabo San Lucas is the perfect selection for your next vacation.
This
is an exclusive, internationally renowned hotel situated on Medano
Beach, the most popular stretch of sand in Cabo San Lucas.
When
comparing the exact dates and unit size, booking here through a
major travel provider will set you back over $1,600.00 for the week.
However,
you can book this entire vacation right now through membership for
only $398. These types of savings are available exclusively to our
members. That's a savings of over $1,200.00 for this one trip.
