Well, you are my peeps! When I mention our trips to most folks they can't understand how we travel this much, and others wonder *why* we travel this much!

Dec: conference in Vegas, staying at the Grand Chateau on an xyz (our first ts of any kind - I'm so excited!)
Dec: short trip to San Francisco, staying 3 nights at the Donatello
Jan: Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach in Cabo
May: Memorial Day weekend at the Donatello
June: Maui Lea and Kona Hawaiian Resort
Nov: Tahoe @ Marriott Grand Residence


I was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis this week so I told my husband that we are going to travel as much as possible because who knows if this will always be an option. :)

End of August/Labor Day - Westbrook Ct.

That's Enough...lol

Thanks for the encouragement. We've always traveled a lot and have usually rented condos on vrbo. It required a lot of work to find anything for $100 per night, and we always paid significantly more in Hawaii so I know that even though we have to pay maintenance fees it still is a lot less to go the timeshare route over renting a condo. My poor husband keeps saying, can we at least see what we are buying? I'm glad the first stop is Grand Chateau. That ought to make a good first impression!

Sorry to hear about this. May you be able to enjoy many, many vacations to come!
Thanks. Just going to make the best of it. Luckily it's not in my hands so I feel very blessed.

Just one trip locked in so far - two weeks at the Royal Mayan in Cancun, starting January 21.

Have tons of TPUs and deposits to use, so I'm sure we'll be packing in a lot of trips!

September 2012 - Bar Harbor, ME, Acadia National Park - non timeshare

Lovely! DH and I took our very first vacation together to Bar Harbor, and we just loved it :)

Hubby has a business trip to Santa Barbara the first week of January, so DD and I are hoping to join him before she starts back to school.

March/Spring Break: Norwegian cruise to Honduras, Belize, Mexico

July 4th week: Washington, DC (cashing in Marriott points to stay at the JW Marriott)

September: Disney World (this is a field trip with DD's school, so I doubt we'll get much choice about where to stay)

The kiddo gets a four day weekend for Columbus Day each year in October, so I'm hoping to squeeze a quick trip in there, as well. SIL and BIL have just moved to Austin, Texas, which sounds promising :)

Two timeshare weeks in March at the Royal Bali Beach Club, followed by two nights at a hotel in Singapore; 58 day cruise from there to London. I have yet to receive a confirmation for a London timeshare. Probably going to have to stay in a hotel there too.

Home for the summer, then 3 weeks at Buddy Dive Bonaire.
