Hi everyone,
I've been reading about timeshares non-stop for 3 days and am ready to pierce by eyes with a dagger. Time to talk to some people!
Was in Las Vegas the end of last week at the invitiation of HGVC and listened to their pitch. We bought a 3800 EOY Gold with 4000 bonus points....... $13,400 on a new AMEX card!
Next morning I'm on my iPad, my wife on her laptop, and ran into the TUG BB as well as others. It took me about 30 minutes of reading before I started cringing. A quick talk with a broker who explained the secondary market to me, then my wife and I drafted then Fedexed a rescission letter.
So here I am looking for advice on finding the best TS for us. We live in Bellingham WA, and we want to find warmth somewhere in the West to vacation. Bellingham has direct flights to San Diego, and Scottsdale. We don't gamble and don't drink much. Don't care for Vegas much, not crazy about the desert although wouldn't rule out Scottsdale because of its proximity to the GC and the Sedona country. We are in our early 50s with a 13 year old daughter and two college boys. We enjoy site seeing, shopping, relaxing; I love photography and continue to try to improve my tennis game. We don't golf. My wife loves the beach and would prefer the SD area but I think either Scottsdale or SD are on our short list.
Thoughts on where we should be looking? The broker I talked to suggested we look at the Wyndam system as a hight value for TS's. Thanks for any thoughts you may have.
