With the increase in travel expences and the sluggish economy, there should more and better exchanges available. Any TUGers notice this yet.
 
I haven't tried to exchange anything lately, but I do notice there are a lot of really great last minute rentals here here on tug. That shows that a lot of people aren't able to keep their travel plans. I'm sure as you have predicted, there will be a lot more availabilty for exchanges. Especially to places that most people have to fly to. Places such as Hawaii should be very easy to get now.
 
There seems to always be places in Hawaii on the sightings section. Not sure if that is normal or as a result of the economy.

I have been posting lots of great sightings, which only TUG members can see. There is a smorgasbord of great vacations available for next summer. I like posting sightings, and many others are joining in.

It's absolutely amazing what I can see right now for the next two years, including some great Marriott Aruba weeks with my generic trader. :D
 
I couldn't believe our good fortune in finding 2 weeks on the west coast of Florida (Calini and Lahaina, both 2-bedrooms) during the month of February. We have been vacationing in Florida during February for the past 5 years, and I've never seen these resorts appear before.

there is more to this also...

I have been following VRBO for quite a few years now. Southwest FL always sold out quickly Jan/Feb/March. Not so this coming year 2009. Many good places are available for Jan in prime locations with less so in Feb & March. The economy certainly is playing a large part.

On the flip side, my son just landed an air tran ticket for his family of 4 from Maine to Orlando (MCO) for $99 per person. Great price! :whoopie:

Is this $99 one way or return ? Before tax or with all taxes incl. ? I am asking because most fares quoted these days are one way and you get a shock only after you see the total, tax incl.. I suppose buying air tickets that far in advance gives you a peace of mind. Personally, I am still looking for the best air deal I can find for Florida in Febr. 09

Kola,

Today on Delta -- $122 RT to Orlando from upstate NY. Too bad my travel dates are blocked out!:( Perhaps there is a similar fare from your area, if you do not have to travel during the holiday week. Good luck finding a decent fare. Please post if and when you do.
