Hi-
I have owned a week at the Westin Kierland Villas in Scottsdale (81,000 points) for about three years now and really love the resort there. However, my wife and I were interested in trying a different resort in the SVO network in 2009.
Here's the problem: We are both teachers and like to use our week to go someplace warm during our winter break (typically weeks 51-52 in the VO calendar). When we tried to book any of the non-Scottsdale resorts during that week (as soon as we could during that 9-months-out window) everything was booked up.
I was wondering if anyone here knew of ways to either get a better jump on the booking of one of these places during the last week of the year, or possibly where we could trade our week in Scottsdale for somewhere else in the network. I've read through a few threads and the knowledge on here makes it seem like the place I should go to get some information. It would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
