Mary Ann and I have made a big move, and as we reflect on the past 12 months, we realize just how significant that change has been. After 47 years in one place, we took on the challenge of moving to an entirely new community and beginning a new chapter in our lives.

We are now settled, meeting many new people, establishing new friendships, and enjoying the opportunities that come with a fresh start. We made these changes with the belief that the future still has much in store for us.

That thought reminded us of a wonderful video we first saw in December 2020 and shared here at the time. More than five years later, its message seems every bit as meaningful—and perhaps even more so:

It’s a Wonderful World.

On the surface, the video has nothing directly to do with our experiences at Vidanta. But in another sense, it has everything to do with them.

It reminds us to appreciate the world around us, the people we meet, the experiences we share, and the memories we create along the way. That is certainly true of our many experiences at Vidanta. Long after a vacation ends, it is often those memories—the special places, wonderful moments, and time spent with people we care about—that remain with us.

And those memories are priceless.

So, as we look forward to what comes next, we thought this beautiful message was worth sharing once again.

Refer back to this video when days are cloudy and dark. Cheers!

Today is very young. At 7:46 AM PST, we received an official looking document from a legitimate company called DocuSign. We have been signing documents lately using DocuSign so it was not unusual to receive a reminder from the company.

What was strange was the company said it was DocuSign, but the from address was not DocuSign. Instead, it was from dcameron at dorothyai.com. Doroathyai.com has been around for many years and is active in the Artificial Intelligence space. That was unusual, but the company seemed legitimate, so the temptation to move forward was there.

In the email, there is a button that supposedly is the link to a secure site. Still a bit cautious because of the unusual nature of the email, I peeked at the domain linked to the activate button in the email. Not to my surprise, the email link is to an entirely different domain. Check this out: https://uytrttr656678908ghvbcbvbbvnbmnbvcbvhjgfgkhjgfj.top/**/**/*****/=*******@aimfair.com. The actual address has been changed to prevent anyone from trying it out.

Clearly this link is up to no good. It actually wants me to enter my username to Aimfair. Wow! No thank you!

I checked out the domain called uytrttr656678908ghvbcbvbbvnbmnbvcbvhjgfgkhjgfj.top. Here are the formation statistics from whois.domaintool.com:

The domain is 3 days old. We are among the first to be contacted by this phisher, and it clearly has unscrupulous ideas in mind. This is the first time a phisher has actually tried to gain access to our Aimfair account.

We all need to be diligent. Unfortunately, the world has become untrustworthy in many ways, and we all must be very careful with our communications over the Internet.

Technology is great. We use it for many wonderful things. Telephones that take pictures, texts that accompany pictures, showing where you are at any given time of day or night, and the list goes on and on.

It occurred to me we should be able to use technology in a helpful way while we discuss the pros and cons of buying a timeshare. Have you ever taken the time to list the reasons why you buy a timeshare? Have you ever tried to weight the Pros and Cons of buying a timeshare? It is an interesting process, and each one of us is different.

First start by identifying what is most important to you. There are a number of "must haves" for a timeshare to be appealing. We were interested in location, water, facilities, safety, convenience, unit size, proximity to list just a few items that are important. Others include restaurants, onsite groceries, "feel" of the place, and attraction for repetitive return visits.

On the other hand, there are a number of reasons for not buying too, not the least of which include the time of life, financial ability to return repeatedly, health, and family matters. Again, there is a whole list factors that lean against buying that we all should consider.

We thought it would be fun to create a Pro Con table. You can try it out by rating factors that are important considerations that support either buying or not buying a timeshare.


The idea is to create your own pros and cons. List them, and give each item a weight in terms of importance. That list and weights becomes a basis for creating an interactive spreadsheet to help you see timeshare purchases in the "cold light of day".

We have created a spreadsheet on Aimfair. At this point it is not interactive. It may be at some point. In the meantime, send us a request for an excel spreadsheet, and it will be on its way. Reach us at infoaboutus at aimfair.com. This offer is extended to Subscribing Members.

Have fun with this.

Cheers!
