Thanks Denise, here goes!
1) Where do you want your home resort to be? I think that Orlando makes the most sense since we go there every year pretty much now and it's easy and not expensive to get to!
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? Probably will use it more in the next 5-10 years, then will trade more.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? So many places I'd like to go! All over Europe, Greece, Arizona, California, Bermuda, Other Carribean.
4) How many people do you usually travel with? Usually just my husband and I or with the 3 kids.
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? Locked in to school schedule. That's why we only travel 4 days at a time because I hate traveling during the busy holiday times and can only take them out of school for 2 days at a time.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? More than likely!
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? We never do!
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? 4 or 5
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing? Probably about $10,000 but the free ones seem much better!
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? Probably not more than $1000.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? Usually.
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 but I feel that I can and will be able to manage the up to $1000/year.
Does that answer everything? I really, really appreciate the guidance, you all saved me $20,000!
