February 2008 Owner News
The month of candy and flowers finds us busy here at Aviawest as we finish preparations to add The Pinnacle Lodge at Sun Peaks to RCI's inventory.
While we hope you'll enjoy skiing Sun Peaks at your next opportunity, we also know winter can be drag. So we're brining you a profile of sunny Malta, by request.
In addition to our monthly Travel Journal from Las Vegas, we have a special Owner-authored article offering some great booking tips.
In this issue look for:
- RCI booking tips direct from an Aviawest Owner!
- Mediterranean Malta - By Request
- Travel Journal from Las Vegas
- Vacation Ownership and Travel News
- RCI's Latest Additions
Best Wishes,
Gayle Miller
