We live in NJ. I have a deposit that expires March 23, 2009. Suggestion as to where to go. To enjoy the sun? Or to go ski? Also concerned about the cost of flights. :hi:

If you are open to going anywhere, I would look to see to where you would get the least cost airfares. If you find great fares to St. Thomas, search for that location, etc.

Orlando is always an option. You could go out of EWR or PHL. Check for the cheapest flights. Southwest has good fares to Orlando out of PHL

I agree Orlando would probably be cheapest in terms of airfare. Plus you can get lots of choices without having to wait until Flexchange.

But only you can decide skiing (CO, Utah or Lake Tahoe) or the beach. Flights to Aruba can be pricey nowadays although we found flights to STT (St. Thomas) just over $300 r/t out of EWR.

Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach would be good drive destinations - probably good weather but not "beach" weather.

The money you would save flying to orlando would be sucked up in park tickets. I would drive to Williamsburg or go to Aruba.

Something to consider if trying to budget is cost of ski passes/lift tickets whether you drive or fly and transporting skis with the extra air charges if you own equipment.

I love the beach so that would be my vote but there are driveable ski TS's in New England from NJ.

Jacksonville and Tampa airfares are normally less than Orlando. I also like the Ft Lauderdale area and airport very much.

If this is an RCI week you can pay $59 or $99 to extend the date 3-6 months.

What a great price! We paid close to $500 for our tickets.
