I have owned a fixed week at FXR, and traded in II successfully for many years. I got lucky, and got a trade to Marriott's Ko Olina, albeit a trade of my 2 bedroom for a studio, and loved it. I am looking onto a purchase of something new that can get me to Hawaii more often than my current unit can. I was looking at Marriott or Vistana, but not sure what is the best option there, and then started considering Wyndham. I would love suggestions!
12) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Hawaii, Arizona, (Scottsdale and Sedona), and maybe coastal Florida
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?
I would like to get to Scottsdale regularly, but not in summer, since I have family there. Hawaii, maybe every other year, due to cost
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
See above, plus possibly the LA/ San Diego/or San Francisco areas, and NYC
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself?
Moving forward it will usually be 2, but I would like to be able to bring my kids and their partners, so could be up to 6
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
I can travel anytime, but right now the kids are on a school schedule, since one is a teacher. that may change since she may go into administration
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
Yes
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
4-5
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
$10k but would prefer to spend less
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?
Per week of vacation I get, about $1500, but again, would prefer to spend less
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
