After returning from our long trip to Aus/Nz I decided to sit down and look at future plans. 1 week booked at Meadow Lake in June, 1 week at MDSV in Palm Desert through SFX for Nov with search going for 2 more weeks plus 3 days in LV on the drive down. Also 1 week booked at Vistana's Beach Club in Mar and a 10 day cruise. Search going for another week in FL. While I was looking at this I got a call for SFX with a second week at MDSV which I took. Checked II's getaways and picked up the third week at MSR. Checked my e-mail and found that RCI had a second week for me at Palm Beach Resort and Club for the week before the cruise which worked great. Went back to e-mail and found out that South Point Hotel in LV was having a 72 hour sale so booked 3 night for $49 dollars a night plus some freebies. Called DH and asked where he wanted to go in Jan/Feb as we had already discussed Mexico. We decided on Cabo and since I knew that I had 1 week plus 1 bonus week left to use at SFX I called Elena and got 2 back to back weeks for the last week of Jan and the first week in Feb at Hacienda del Mar. This all happened within a few hours! I don't know what I'm going to do with nothing to search for until we decide where to go later in 2013! :cheer:

I guess what it means is that I confirmed 3 exchange weeks 1 getaway and 3 hotel nights in just a few hours! All my plans came together at once and I'm now all booked up through Apr 2013.

Dori how far are you from Jensen Beach and Palm Beach? Maybe we can get together.

You are obviously great with details. You should offer your services as a planner for others, for a fee of course, which you could then use at the slot machines while you are in Vegas. :clap:

Lynn, we are actually on our way home right now. We arrived in Florida the first week of January, and stayed in our mobile home near Sebring, about an hour and a half south of Orlando. When the kids came down for 2 weeks, we spent one of those weeks in The Houses of Summer Bay. Fabulous exchange. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
