Timeshare kitchen equipment

If you're going to travel a la 'a timeshare' property, it helps to know the basic equipment that usually comes standard in the kitchen. On our recent vacation we stayed at a Marriott Vacation Resort Timeshare. We've found that most of the Marriott kitchens are fairly well stocked with the following:

Knife block (steak knives, bread knife, paring knife, carving knife, kitchen shears)
Cutting board
Tea kettle
Storage containers (usually the 'medium' size)
Blender (usually one that is great for making frozen drinks!)
Salad bowl with serving fork and spoon
Glass bowl with lid (medium size)
Glasses (wine, water, and juice size) - 6
Plastic glasses - 6
Plates, bowls, and coffee cups - 6
Serving platter
Serving bowl (medium size)
Cutlery
Pots (small, medium, and large)
Pans (medium size frying pan, and slightly larger pan)
Baking dish (Pyrex 'casserole' size)
Mixing bowl
Mixing cup
Colander
Serving utensils
Measuring spoons
Peeler
Can opener
Pizza cutter
Bottle opener
Whisk
Wooden spoon
Spatula
Toaster
Coffee pot
Pot holders

We've learned to bring from home the following:

Griddle - makes pancake cooking much faster!
Coffee grinder - we love fresh ground beans
Ziploc bags - all sizes
Tin foil - for leftovers, the BBQ, etc.
Plastic wrap - for leftovers (yeah...we could just use the tin foil)

On our last trip I discovered our kitchen was without a cookie sheet. I called the front desk to see if it was missing or just not part of the standard equipment. As it turns out, the units do not come with cookie sheets; however, the manager offered to check with housekeeping... and like magic, a brand new cookie sheet was delivered it to our room within 20 minutes. (Kudos Marriott!!!)

We like to think of cooking as a hobby not a chore and the timeshare makes cooking in a great option when we're on vacation.
