I know it's called 'slow season' for a reason. But have you ever traveled during white/blue/green season and been pleased with your experience?
We often travel using 'Flexchange' with II but haven't taken the leap to go 'green' (low season). You know, Myrtle Beach or Ocean City, MD in January (or something similar). I'm tempted to try it - just to experience 'it'. I'm thinking I might expand my horizons a bit by going for 'the road less traveled' (or, in this case, the resort not visited during this time). I'm thinking I MIGHT like it (or maybe that's wishful thinking). After all, sometimes the reason no one goes there at certain times is because the resort is very kid-friendly and all the kids are in school (well - not us homeschoolers). So, of course, the demand is low.
I don't think it's only the officially green weeks that are 'deserted' sometimes either. We were at a small resort (10 units) in Florida a few years ago during what is red season (but not a red-hot week - that was the following week) and had been the only people there for nearly the entire week (the front desk said it was like getting the whole resort for the cost of one of the units). It was weird and 'cool' at the same time.
Let me hear how your trip into a green week went. Suggestions for doing it right also appreciated. Maybe I'll take the plunge.
