Looking for Exchange Ideas for 57 TP - RCI

[jenmcnitt]

I have 57 TP banked up with RCI and the original search that I have been running for a while did not turn up any hits so I'm looking to expand my options now.

I am looking for somewhere warm in the winter months for next year, and would prefer it being somewhere in the US (due to family health reasons) but not Florida if possible. We've been there enough times.

It seems like my options are fairly limited though so I'm looking for suggestions. I've been considering looking at Phoenix. Other thoughts?

Thanks!

Warm in the US in the winter. Honestly very southern Florida comes to mind to secure warmth in the winter. Hawaii too - but sounds like you may want to stay on the mainland. What about California?

Can't help with TPU values but here's some destination ideas.

Warmest US Cities in Winter

Highest Winter Temperatures
Seldom do winter temperatures approach 100 °F (37.8 °C) in the US. San Antonio has made it to 100 °F and Austin has reached 99 °F in February.

Normally though, city climates are much cooler than this, even for those two record-setting cities. No major American city has an average daily high temperature above 80 °F (27 °C) throughout the winter months.

US cities with the highest normal daily maximum temperatures in December, January and February

Tampa, Florida 72 22
Phoenix, Arizona 69 21
Riverside, California 69 21
Los Angeles, California 68 20
Jacksonville, Florida 67 19
San Diego, California 65 18
San Antonio, Texas 65 18
Houston, Texas 64 18
New Orleans, Louisiana 64 18
Austin, Texas 63 17

Warmest Low Temperatures
While all major US cities have recorded temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C), many remain above freezing for most the winter. Among the largest American cities, fourteen in winter normally stay above 40 °F (4.4 °C).

South Padre / Port Aransas Texas has quite a few RCI listings

We went to South Padre 15 or so years ago in March (flew into Harlingen TX)
( Ontario elementary school March break / was also college spring break week )- Interesting

Anyway - On the new RCI website go to - vacation ideas / then -resort directory/ then gulf states / then Texas
(This is actually the old website directory} .change it to 25 per page search for easy scanning . You can read reviews and get RCI resort ID numbers.

You will have to go to the new website area to see availability and TPU cost

There are also resorts in San Antonio & Austin etc. but that is 300 miles / 4.5 hours north of South Padre & the Valley .
Guess which is warmer .

( March 24th) / 10 pm tonight - South Padre - 74 F / San Antonio 65 F
