2012 Plans

Well we will be in Orlando 3-10 for 1 week. Then possibly our trip to Hawaii for the last time. It should be one way for our move to Oahu. Looking forward to the new life. :whoopie:
 
Dec 3rd 2011 - Royal Hacienda, Mexico
March 2012 - Windjammer Landing, Saint Lucia
End of May 2012 - Moab Utah - non timeshare vacation
September 2012 - Bar Harbor, ME, Acadia National Park - non timeshare
November 2012 - Aruba Surf Club

March 2013 two weeks at Windjammer Landing for our 40th anniversary. March 2012 will be our first trip there so depending on how much we like it will determine if we go for two weeks in 2013. Really want to go to Hawaii, but it is a long trip from the East Coast and trying to coordinate free airline tickets with trading my timeshare may be challenging.
 
Full year ahead

February - Lorraine and Champagne, France
May - Hilton Head - home resort
June - Scottsdale - Bonus time at home resort
Labor Day week - Myrtle Beach - home resort (thanks again, George!!!)
November - Orlando - looking to trade in
December - Scottsdale - home resort

America! What a country!

St. Maartin for spring break.
Car show in Chattanooga in May.
Denver in August for a long weekend/conference.
Spanish Mediterranean for a week in July followed by a week's cruise of the eastern Mediterranean.

Put our request in for next year's winter break; we'll see where we end up.

March - York, PA for East Coast Large Scale Train Show.

April/May - A week at Powhatan in Williamsburg for Norfolk International Military Tattoo and NATO Festival. Followed by a week in Atlantic Beach to burn up expiring points.

4) April- Annual family vacation for Passover/Easter spring break at Vacation Village at Weston, Florida.

5) July-including July 4th to Bermuda staying at St. Georges Club

6) August/September - Planet Hollywood towers by Westgate for week of labor day
