Laurie-Ann is an enthusiastic member of VirtualTourist.com where you will find info and pics from these and other trips.

On Thanksgiving and our wedding anniversary we like to take a day away and stay in a bed and breakfast. The great places we have stayed are included on Bed and Breakfasts.

On 30 December 1991 Annmarie and I accepted an invitation to spend an hour at a presentation at Calabogie, near Ottawa. We had no idea what it would be about, other than getting a surprize gift for attending. It turned out to be a sales pitch for a timeshare in a Calabogie Lodge condominium. We bought. Since then I have concluded that owning one or more timeshare weeks is good value for fun vacations. There are photos of Calabogie Lodge and some nearby lakes below, taken in 1999.

In 1996 Annmarie and I went for the first time to the Belair Beach Hotel, St Martin. My mother Joan Wood came too, and the three of us had a lovely week on this beautiful island. So much so that we accepted an offer for a timeshare week at the Belair, Apartment 151, Week 51 (21 - 28 December). In 2001 Laurie-Ann and I and her parents stayed there in that week for Christmas. Film stars own at this resort. Such a way to relax!

Visits to Belair Beach Hotel:

I can freely offer an unconditional endorsement both of St. Martin and the management and clientele of the Belair Beach Hotel, and you can be confident of a wonderful holiday if you were to book there. In March 2003, we sold our unit at Belair to some kind folk who wanted an additional week at Christmas.

In May 2014 we holidayed at King's Creek Plantation, Williamsburg, Virginia. We decided to 'transfer' from Calabogie Lodge, with RCI, to King's Creek Plantation with Interval. This gave us addional vacation opportunities with ICE Rewards. The deals through ICE are so attractive, and unlimited, we are in a position to offer them to friends. Call us!
