Tom and I just just returned from Orlando Fl on our second honeymoon. WOW, what a time we had after 22 years of being married to find time to get away and save money at the same time. We were able to do this by using our lifetime discounted travel membership with Coastal Vacations. As owners of this membership we can travel the world at short notice or plan it in advance for pennies on the dollar. We have rented homes, stayed in hotels for room taxes only and this latest trip was at the Radisson Worldgate Resort. We paid $42 a night where others were paying $118. That included taxes. For our 5 night stay we saved $381.

This resort had a timeshare presentation we listened to. We have friends… Continue reading
