1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Not really — but I would anticipate coastal Florida, Hawaii, and perhaps VT/CO to become frequented destinations.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
At this point, my wife and I want variability. Trade >50%.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Flexible, as above per no 1 but we do have bucket list trade locations which would include Greece and Australia.
4) How many people do you usually travel with?
Just us, but we have family planning in-mind and would not be averse to bringing family if it was something we could afford to do reasonably.
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
With 3-6 months advanced planning, any time. This will change in 5-6 yrs with rugrat creation.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
Sometimes.
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Usually
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
3-4 usually. Marriott Courtyard, Hyatt Place, Hilton, Doubletree...
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
Not much but anything financed can be paid down rapidly in 2-3 years as my earnings will increase 5-10x within that timeframe barring injury or illness.
10) How much can you afford to spend everyyear for a maintenance fee that will come dueright after Christmas, and increase each year?
Can this be made in installments? With planning/saving, probably maxing around 2k initially but again much more after that.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
Depends, but typically I obsess over vacation planning. During residency this has been more difficult due to obscene hours.
12) Do you understand that once you buy atimeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, untilyou do?
Not frightened by permanency.
Has anyone ever tried willing the timeshare back to the company upon their death?
