As I posted elsewhere recently, I make it a point to never post my travel plans on a public BBS.

I can see your point - I guess in some ways I'm both more and less cautious than you are. I never use my real name on an open forum. Other than a city name, I never give specifics about my location. Never reveal the names of friends/family members/etc. Not even first names. Never reveal where I work. My e-mail address is hidden, and doesn't contain any personally identifying information, anyway.

When I'm feeling very "Secret Squirrel", I visit websites via a proxy server ;) Ironically, I picked that habit up from my computer geek brother who worries about being "on the grid".
 
We are first yr Wyndham point owners and we have a big 2012 planned.

March ( spring break) Nashville: Could have to cancel this one b/c of a promotion test I'm studying for.

June- Seiverville Tn.

June- vegas

Sept. Pagosa Springs for my annual solo motorcycle trip

Nov. Branson for Thanksgiving
 
Lot's of great plans here.

We plan on visiting (driving) Virginia (D.C) this summer a few days and back to WDW early December to see the Christmas decorations for the first time (nothing big - son is getting married in September).
 
We are doing

Winter Trapp Family Guest Houses

Spring Four Seasons Aviara
Rental house in florida keys

Summer Marriott Manor club
Still trying to rent four seasons scottsdale
2 weeks Disney non timeshare

Fall Harborside at Atlantis
 
Our only firm plan thus far in 2012 is two weeks (4/20-5/6) to Ireland. One week (actually 5 nights) will be in a timeshare and the rest of the time will be traveling the country, staying in other types of accommodations including a B&B and castle.

While technically not 2012, Cayman Islands over winter break.
St. Maartin for spring break.
Car show in Chattanooga in May.
Denver in August for a long weekend/conference.
Spanish Mediterranean for a week in July followed by a week's cruise of the eastern Mediterranean.

Put our request in for next year's winter break; we'll see where we end up.

Can't believe what just happened this morning. Get to the office, open my email and find a confirmation for a 2 BR unit at Sands of Kahana in Maui for winter break 2012! Check in is 12/21/12. We put in our request the end of October, and gave up 3 BR Grande Vista week 35 to get it. Only 6 weeks!!! YAY :cheer:

We LOVE our timeshares!!!

jan-orlando disney property TS
feb-palm spring TS 2 weeks, orlando, southern florida
mar-AZ TS
apr- mass. TS
may -Atlanis TS
june undecided
july-buffalo, niagara falls

still planning the rest of the year.
 
NYE-Boyne Mt. MI
Presidents' Day weekend-Shanty Creek, MI
April- Old Town Alexandria VA

As for the rest of the year, kind of on hold at the moment as the school district is planning a "major change to school schedule based on best practices of other excellent districts."

Going to meetings this means starting the year earlier or later, different schedules for HS and K-8(great if you have a HS'er and a younger kid:wall: different spring breaks! HS gets whole T-giving week off etc:eek: ), balanced schedule, longer holiday breaks, shorter holiday breaks.:wall:

Of course the new schedule will have both parents and teachers grumbling, and my guess it will be nothing close to the options that has been shown to parent/teacher/principal groups. :wall:

Banff and more Banff

Banff for Xmas/New Years with hubbie, assorted kids, nephews and granddog (depending on the day). Spring break in Banff, summer on Vancouver Island for a couple of weeks, week in August in Banff and if I retire, a few fall days in Banff. I love having family close: Banff is within driving distance so kids can come for a few days and then go home to be with friends. And as long as mom and dad pay for the units, family magically appear. :rolleyes: I used to think I wanted them to come up for the whole week but a few days satisfy my nesting instincts yet I am not cooking and having "company" for the whole week. And I get some:D hubbie canoodelling time in.
Have I mentioned how much I love Banff?
Just a plug for the staff. They treat us like gold, the lady in the office who arranges bonus days for me is wonderful and so I ask myself why would I go anywhere else?
Merry Christmas fellow Tuggers. May the joy of the season be with you and Happy Holidays for all.
 
January 2012 Charter Club of Marco Beach (Home Resort). Miss it already!
June-Chicago for a work conference
November-trying to get to Napa or Carmel/Pacific Grove areas via SFX

Envious of those of you with the time to do more travel-we had to cancel an Alaska cruise for work related reasons-I think that this year I am going to delve into RCI Extra Vacations and or SFX Lifestyle weeks to see what we can come up with.

Well, after all the BS, the schedule went back to our old one, starting Wednesday before Labor Day. And no separate schedule for high school. Big relief.

So adding on to the above,

End of July-Park Plaza in Beaver Creek for the Vail Dance Festival(get that off my bucket list).

Early November-DVC SSR for Epcot Food & Wine.

May pull the trigger with the Wyndham points for a Xmas/NYE trip or MLK weekend trip to WDW with my DVC points.
 
March: St Maarten - La Vista Beach Resort
June: Outer Banks - House rental
August: North Conway, NH - Eastern Slope Inn
November: Paradise Island - Harborside
