1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where? Not yet, but we prefer CA (live here), Hawaii, Europe, AU
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? Trade
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? California (live here), Hawaii, CO, Europe, AU
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself? mostly 2, sometimes another couple
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? Flexible, Self-employed
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? Yes, but we do more within 60 days of the trip ie last minute
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? YES, will often want to do 3-4 days too though.
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? 3.5*+ . Comfortable bed is most important. Don't need super fancy.
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing? $5k, but would love to start with FREE or less to test the waters...
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year? $2k max, would love to start with 1k.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? Yes
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do? YES
**I am great at finding deals, but trying to see if one of these programs may be better for us than just timeshare rentals...they don't seem to line up as much. RCI, Interval, Worldmark all seem interesting - any way to see their databases without signing up??? Also, high end Marriott seems a bit pricey, we often spend under $200/night and no more than $300 usually for just us as a couple**
Thank you so much!!! Really appreciate this forum!
