An Unexpected Detour
Last year, when we moved to South Florida, we immediately made plans to go to Disneyworld. As we drove to Orlando, we saw some signs talking about discounted Disneyworld tickets. Not knowing any better and wanting to get a few extra savings, we immediately went to the place indicated on the sign and, as it turned out the company was selling timeshares!
I could never forget the look my husband’s face when we had to sit through that awful presentation. We also lost half a day of our vacation because of those vultures. Never again! :D
Anyway, had we taken the time to look at some online travel guides like the one from Trusted Tours and Attractions, we would have made far better deals with the Orlando tours that they offered.
Now that we have recently moved to Georgia, we are planning to visit Florida again since there are a lot of other attractions we haven’t visited yet, such as Cypress Gardens Florida and the water parks of Seaworld and Universal Studios. Hopefully, no one will be selling us some timeshares over there.
How about you? What are your future travel plans?
