family. We know they will appreciate the vast array of vacation resorts they 
can choose from and our team will make it easy to turn their travel dreams into 
memories they can cherish," said Downing. "The addition of the 26 Shell 
Vacations resorts across the west coast, Hawaii, and Mexico will provide even 
more opportunities for our 3.9 million subscribing members to explore the
