Can defaulting on a time share bought in Mexico affect your credit?
We got carried away in a vacation we took to Mexico, and signed on to buy a time share, however, we have not been able to keep up with the payments. Can this affect our credit? We did not provide any SS mumbers?
Only if the holder of the note is an American company in the USA. More than likely it is.
Havent you learned?? DONT DO time shareS!

What is your opinion on volunteer vacations?
There are more and more organizations popping up offering "volunteer vacations" where one goes and volunteers their time and skills in usually a foreign country. Aside from Habitat for Humanity or Doctor’s Without Borders, I would very much like to know anyone’s experiences with organizations like those. I get the sense that these "programs" are no better than one going out there on their own and spending less money for the same or better benefit of the particular community. In mind I have particular organizations that are bad at organizing any volunteer work and worse at providing adequate funding. I just would like to know if there are people with first hand experience who truly believe that the organizations they vacationed with were very beneficial.
When hurricane Katrina wiped out New Orleans,i Voulenteered My help for the first time in my life with The RED CROSS.At our breifing and first meeting here in California about travel and otherthings,We were told That The Red Cross Required each voulenteer had a Valid Drivers Lisence. At the time I only had my valid Ca.State I.D.
We were told we would recieve a VISA Debit Card For each voulenteer with the amount of $800 dollars for food or whatever we wanted…One Of the Guys that Had been with the RED CROSS said " You dont have to use the card ,You can take out the cash at an atm when you arrive back home and just say u used it in New Orleans.That,I thought was wrong. he also said" we usually get together for drinks so save some of your money for partying. Again,I thought "well ,thats wrong." And I was told that each voulenteer needed a valid Drivers Lisence because we all get a rental Car. Again, Wrong. I wasnt able to go because of my driving status but thought to myself later "No one is using cars ,its flooded,also where was anyone going to party when this big disaster was unfolding and people needed help?
I then realized after my anger subsided that The Red Cross was a joke and was really mis-managing Funds. People around the world were pouring in with Donations and The R.C. was buying VISA CARDS w/$800 each for each volunteer and rental cars. Here I was,A perfectly capable person to help with shelters,with giving out food, and moral support for the victims. I was angry and I told myself I will never donate any money to the Red Cross again.months later we all saw on the news how the Director of the Red Cross was held accountable for mis-management and mis handeling of funds. The Red Cross to me is a Racket with people using donations for comfartability and there amusement as they wished. So wrong!!!
Know any really cheap but very very good cruises to alaska before sept2?
cruises that depart from seattle, washington or from canada somewhere. Or others. Im looking for a really nice cruise that is cheap but is really high quality to Alaska. Please give a straight link to the info. if possible.
I am a Certified Travel Agent & Cruise Specialist ….Booking last minute to Alaska can be an advantage. And I do not agree with the statement about cheap and high quality not being in the same sentence. Someone is seriously mistaken. Cruise lines sometimes decrease sales or offer promotions to last minute buyers which is good news for you! Holland America & Princess are two cruise lines that are HIGH quality and specialize in Alaskan sailing which offer deeply discounted rates, even $99 third and fourth guest rates. I would suggest going to the cruise lines websites and clicking on specials or hot deals etc. to see what is going on. vacations to Go.com offers a 90 day ticker and you can search for cruises even leaving this week. Alot of times you can find awesome deals. I would love to help you find a great rate and plan your cruise vacation. Please contact me and we can see what will work best for you. I guarantee to get you the best rate and ship as well as offer you any advice for your Alaskan Cruise! Below are some links.
How do you make boats more efficient?
It’s for a project. I’m researching how to make travel more efficient and my topic is on boats. Thanks in advance!
this is what comes to mind right offhand:
1. Lighten the load.
2. Weight distribution (optimal balance varies for different hull designs).
3. Lift as much of the boat and motor(s) out of the water as possible to reduce hydrodynamic drag.
4. Streamline the hull to reduce aerodynamic drag.
5. Avoid sharp corners to reduce electromagnetic signature.
6. Never travel upstream or against the wind.
7. Paint it red.
Ignore #5 through #7.
How do you apply for a Time share?
I live In North Carolina and would love to get info on time share oportunities in state(NC) and Florida and South Carolina. I love wilmington and Emerald Isle areas on the Coast of NC. I would also like info on time shares in the Disneyworld area of Florida. All Information will be appreciated.
Eddie.
Umm. Not a good investment idea. THere are so many timeshare companies out there because they are money machines for those companies. Save your money and see about hotel deals…..
Where are some good sites to find skiing tattoos?
I want a tattoo that has something to do with my passion for skiing, but the traditional crossed skis look is a little too manly and plain. I want to find something a little more feminine, but I can’t find any sites just by searching on google for "skiing tattoos". Any help? Thanks!
www.tattoojohnny.com has nearly anything you can imagine. Maybe you can find something there.
A neat idea would be to get the skiier from the really old video game. I don’t remember the name of it. Maybe something atari.
