About Me: Through timeshare ownership, we are able to travel to some pretty wonderful places.

For 2013, I am planning another Amtrak adventure, this time to S.California to visit my sister. I hope to visit the Nixon and Reagan Presidential Libraries, as well as Joshua Tree Nat'l Park during my time in SoCal. We also have a fall timeshare vacation planned for the Poconos that will include David's mom.

Looking forward to 2014, initial planning has begun for another Great Alaskan RV Adventure. I am also working to put together a small group (6-8 people) trip to Lake Clark NP in Alaska as part of our RV adventure. I'm thinking 4 days/3 nights at the beginning or end of the RV Adventure.

More About MilwVon

I travel because...
it helps to keep me sane! I also find travel to be very grounding in terms of the world around us. Rather than just looking around at what's here I prefer to get out and experience it first hand.
I love to travel to...
Alaska, Hawaii, Virginia, Florida.
I never forget to pack...
a camera, whether it is my small pocket sized digital Canon SD600 or my Olympus Evolt 500/520 DSLRs (and four lenses).
My weirdest travel habit is...
photographing my meals for IgoUgo reviews.
It's my dream to travel to...
in no particular order: China, Russia, Egypt, Italy and Greece.

I'm also thinking a winter trip to Norway may be in order to see the northern lights :)
When I'm not traveling...
I'm thinking about or planning future trips.
I also travel online at...
Several timeshare sites including TUG2.net and TS4MS.com . . . and from time-to-time TripAdvisor.com and FlyerTalk.com.
