1) Where do you want your home resort to be? Either Maui or Tahoe
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time? If Maui probably half or less, if Tahoe it would be half or more
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations? Hawaii, Mexico, Tahoe (unless that's home), not sure where else maybe Pacific Northwest or Anaheim or caribbean or Europe
4) How many people do you usually travel with? 4 (2 adults 2 kids currently 6,8)
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule? We have two weeks at end Sept-October, thanksgiving week (expensive and we'd lose overtime pay), Christmas two weeks (same deal as thanksgiving), two weeks Spring Break (mid-March not necessarily paired with Easter), plus a five to seven week summer that goes from the second week of June and ends the last week of July.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance? Yes
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time? Yes but we don't want WVERY vacation to be a full week. (Is a timeshare week seven or five days?)
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars? Prefer 4 but we do 3's also
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing? Maybe up to $4000?
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year? Prefer not to spend more than $1200/yr max
11) Are you a detail oriented planner? Very
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do? Yes

Thank you for any advice you can offer. We just stayed at GPP and did a presentation with HGVC. We have been thinking of timeshare for a while but not sure Hilton is it for us and definitely had no interest in Carlsbad being our home resort. We live in Northern California so Tahoe is about a three hour drive. I think I like the Marriott in South Shore (Timberlodge?) Not sure if that should be our home resort or something more popular like WKORV. We just received a presentation offer for WKORV which, after being at GPP sparked our interest in a more serious way. What do all you TUG experts think? Thanks!!!!
