1 week at Bandera Homestead
1 week at Royale Beach and Tennis Club

June 14 1 week at Meadow Lake Golf and Ski Resort

Sept Holiday Park Kelowna BC

Oct-Nov 3 weeks at Camelback Resort in Scottsdale and still looking for another week in that area or maybe Las Vegas or Palm Springs.

We are going to Nuevo Vallarta (Grand Mayan) in March. It's our first time out of the US together, and we're both terribly excited. My husband was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in October, and his last chemotherapy treatment will be about a month before we leave. We plan for it to be a "remission" celebration, as he's doing better than the doctors ever hoped for.

In October we'll be at Stillwaters in Branson, which is our home resort.

Then two weeks after that DH will be in Daytona with buddies for Biketoberfest. That's one I'm glad to miss. :banana:
 
Have not booked to much this year yet but so far:

Newport Coast in Feb.
Shadow Ridge in April
Newport Coast in July
Royal Islander in Oct.

More to come!
 
I just put a lot of your choices on my wish list.

We just came back from a cruise yesterday. The other trips for this year are:

April-Mayan Palace, Riviera Mayan (RCI)
May-Ocean City, NJ
June-Hyatt Cancun Caribe-3rd time-we love it(RHC)
September-Ocean City, NJ
October-12 night Med cruise RT from Rome

Two trips to Baltimore for work don't count, do they?

Sure they do, free trips are always the best!!:banana: However, only if you take time to see the places you are visiting and not just working around the clock.
 
Las Vegas -HGVC Flamingo - Today!!
5 night Cruise on Carnival out of Tampa- March (spring Break)
Costa Rica - April for our 16th anniversary
Summer- Couple of trips to the coast camping and quading..

Susan
 
Heading to Washington DC in March.. All the political coverage has actually gotten the teen interested in the area, so I figured I'd take advantage of the opportunity. We'll hit the museums, monuments, dinner at Marakesh, etc..
 
Feb: Dallas (neices wedding) non ts
May: Wyndam FF Nashville!! (Yee-haw!!)
July: Taino Beach/Bahamas
Sept: St George Utah : Coral Ridge? New ts 3 br.
Feb:2010 Orlando/Daytona 500
 
January - Orlando, Marriott's Cypress Harbour (actually, we just got back) (trade of about to be expired 2007 week)

Feb-March - DH is in Atlanta, back & forth on a work assignment, so we're going to try to work out a block of 2+ weeks to make it worth my time to drive down with the dogs and escape the frigid northeast. Probably staying a "suites" hotel though, no TS in Atlanta.

May - Bahamas, Atlantis - we won a trip to The Cove + airfare, will supplement the 3 night Cove trip with a TS bonus week if it is less than currently booked hotel room ($600 for 4 nights! NOT at Atlantis. :eek:).

September - Hilton Head, South Carolina, Marriott SurfWatch (2008 trade)

Nov/Dec - tentative week in New Orleans at Thanksgiving or Christmas. We just bought a $1 ebay sale at our favorite place in NOLA. So, if dh has enough personal days left to make up a week, we'll use it. Otherwise, I'll deposit it in II. But I'm proud of us for finally buying a TS that we'll actually use, rather than only trade, as I can easily see us going to NO at least every other year. :cheer:

Thank you to my new TUG friends for helping me learn how to better plan our vacations to make full use of our TS experience.

October - 1 week, Sundial at Mustang Towers, Port Aransas, Texas. I just bought this week on eBay for $50 :D I've stayed there twice and have been looking for a TS there for years. I love Port A, it's a 4-hour drive from home, and I go in October every year anyway. I'm super excited about this purchase and would never have even thought about it if not for TUG.

December - DVC Beach Club Villas

Eight hours a day for work, the rest of the time is mine! I'm staying at Brookshire Suites, which is a short block from the Inner Harbor. And I'm bringing DH and our labradoodle. There's a pet fee but it's worth it. The doorman really likes her.
 
So far this is what we have for the year:

Feb: New Orleans..long weekend for hubby's bday
Feb: Williamsburg...Governors Green..long weekend to attend concert.
March: Williamsburg..Powhatan...long weekend with kids for tournament
April: St. Martin..Royal Palm Beach..kids spring break
May: Wisconsin Dells...Chula Vista...business and to meet up with family
June: Virginia Beach...Four Sails...extended family vacation
June: NYC...Manhattan Club for anniversary week
July: Northern CA...still in planning stages
Sept: Cabo San Lucas...DH and myself...no kids
Sept: Oceanside....few days for business and family vacation

I have to laugh because until I became a member of TUG, we never planned a vacation. We just decided a few weeks out to go and off we went. I realize now that part of the fun is planning and reading up on the area. And I get soooooo many great ideas by reading posts on the board.
