The flights from Missouri to Tennessee went without incident and we arrived at the Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Glade. We have been visiting this resort for over 40 years. It is where we became a part of the Fairfield/Wyndham family in 1982.
Our first month was spent, for the most part, just enjoying some alone, down-time. It was good to be able to just relax with no schedule. Hiking was my primary activity. We did have visitors from Alaska stop in for lunch on their way through the state.
We did manage to eat at both the new eatery, Skillets Grill, and the Stonehenge Grill. I would recommend both. Insta Cart delivered our groceries from Food City.
REFLECTIONS
Whoever would have thought that when we purchased a "Vacation Ownership" package at Fairfield Glade that forty years later we would be enjoying a nomadic retirement because of that decision.
When we "signed on the dotted line" we understood that this would be an investment in our young family and not an investment to gain financially. And it certainly was. And it is.
We secured a unit in, the yet to be built, Kensington Woods section. Now, all those years later, that is where we are staying. We regret nothing. Since retirement in late 2016 we have spent 232 nights here.
"Time Share" isn't for everyone. Buying a "retirement home" isn't for everyone. Living on a "cruise ship" isn't for everyone. You know; "different strokes for different folks" and all. For us, it works. It has provided countless days of enjoyment for our children, our grandchildren, and our friends. It has been a blessing.
Like anything you do, if you fully invest yourself in understanding how it works and are committed to make it work, there's a good chance that you CAN make it work.
Little did we imagine where that long ago decision would lead. Actually, it has led right back where it all started.
