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.

Got Sands of Kahana in Maui for 2012 winter break. We're happy!

So far i have booked some pretty average vacations:

Feb 18-25 Woodstone at Massanutten (presidents week)
May 25-28 Hershey Suites (Memorial weekend)
July 1-8 Wyndham Patriots Place (4th of July)

And am still looking for something for late August(beach, pool, sun) and a Selfish(Daddy only trip) around the end of December to someplace VERY warm...


What about you guys, do you have any place fun booked for 2012?

So this changed...

Feb 18-25 Woodstone at Massanutten (presidents week)
May 25-28 Hershey Suites (Memorial weekend)
Looking for ideas for week 28(July 11th is My Birthday)
August 26-Sept 2 Governors Green(last days before school starts)

I feel for ya!~ Our company says we max out at 28 - can't earn any more PTO days ever! Yikes!

My company has the same thing with 28 days...Everyone is rushing to use all their days by the end of the year....and i've usually used all of mine by September!

4 of these are qualified for XYZs and we have one more studio.
I hate to waste these so we may add more trips. Who can pass up $170 weeks. We had lots of II deposits from before they changed the rules. Next year we will only have 2 deposits.
First year my DH has been retired. Having fun!
Went shagging in MB in January at mid winter SOS. Stayed at Marriott Ocean Watch. The Branson trip is an XYZ on that.

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.

Added a June weekend trip to the Wyndham Great Smokies Lodge. Boys want to go hiking! About fell over at that one, thought for them the water park was the big draw.

We may go on a trip that doesn't require air transportation during the summer months. After all, the weather in California and the West Coast is beautiful in the summertime. I'm thinking Yosemite.

Enjoy your vacations!

Since joining this forum, I have gone so crazy, I have used every one of my 2012 weeks. (Five weeks in Hawaii [not all for me - most for my staff] and one week in Aruba. Two weeks at Williamsburg at the Marriott Fords Colony. Two weeks that I was not able to use and not able to rent because they were exchanges (both at BCV).

Add Victorian Villas at Niagra on the Lake, Ontario-May 6-13
Marriott Grand Chateau-Orlando- May 31-June 7 XYZ on Sedona trip.

We still have 4 more potential XYZs and one more studio deposit. It is tough trying to get all these trips in. Still working off old grid Wyndham II deposits which expire in Jan,2013.
I did have to make a 1 BR deposit of 2012 points to take advantage of the Niagra Falls opportunity.
We will only have 2 or 3 trips next year with Wyndham's new deposit grid unless we do getaways or rent.

Ok, i'm depressed!

Most of you are retired with kids out of school? My vacations look pathetic in comparision to some of you taking 10+ Weeks a year!
