I've just finished my first celebration trip using timeshares as a way to celebrate. In the past I had used timeshares as both a way to have a good vacation, but also as an alternative way to live and travel at the same time. But this trip was one of celebration. I recently started a new...

I've been enjoying my current trip in Hawaii.. I have the chance to relax and meet other people. I've been hanging out at the pool and reading books and getting my "hot tub Time" in. As a result, I've had some interesting conversations with other timeshare owners. By and large, most of the...

You own a timeshare, so you will be doing owner updates... It is a fact of timeshare life. Since you are in this environment, then you might as well take advantage of the situation... I am about to embark on a three week vacation to Hawaii... Of those 21 days, 12 of them are on two makring...

One of the reasons that timeshares work really well for me is that I like Hawaii. And Hawaii seems to highlight the biggest disparity between hotel life and timeshare life in terms of cost. In this video, I want to highlight that from a timeshare perspective, staying in Hawaii is similar to...

I've always wondered if I should consider buying a second home for weekend getaways... The thought of having a place in mountains or a getaway at the ocean has always felt like a nice idea... But then I realized I could use my timeshares to do the same... I use Worldmark in this example, but...

I enjoyed the Worldmark Clear Lake. It is an out of the way place that is a good place for me to unwind. There are local wineries and of course there is the lake. A lot of people rent a pontoon boat on the lake. I love walking out on the pier in the morning with my coffee and just stare out...

In this video, I wanted to share my top uses for my timeshare points... In general, I rank the usage of my points based on the most value for each point I spend. A general rule is that if two companies are involved, then there are two sets of profits which means your points will be diluted...

If you want to be close to Chinatown or Union Square in San Francisco, then the Worldmark San Francisco is a great choice. I stayed in the one bedroom which was cozy, but had everything I needed (since I carry a electric Skillet). There was a gym and a shared laundry facility, which was nice...
