Best part of travel for me is meeting the local denizens and hearing their stories. One time we booked 3 nights in whistler (not our thing at all) and in whistler the locals are the uber drivers, the restaurant servers from chile, and of course the bitter time share owners.
My new hot tub friend was a 75 year old lady who bought a whistler time share in the 80s, supposed to be a great investment, great family time, skiing, etc. Id never actually met anyone who had purchased a time share so was interesting to hear the story of how she found herself today so damn angry at the management company.
Company wanted to redevelop, wanted the time shares out, kept raising fees… money to lawyers. Id always laughed about time share but its not so funny to hear a 40 year slow motion train wreck. At least she was otherwise wealthy from vancouver real estate.
