1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Any roads trip from the Bay Area
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?
I wouldn't mind a home base in Lake Tahoe, but probably not for the majority of our stays.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Lake Tahoe, Hawaii, Orlando, Pac NW, various Intl
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself?
5
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
School kids
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
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
3+
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
Any
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?
The lower the better but any reasonable amount
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
No, but I'm married to one
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
We rented a week at Northstar Lodge (Welk) and were blown away by the quality and accommodations compared to trying to cram five people into a hotel room with two queen beds. I have a rescind letter out with HICV thanks to you all and I'm looking at my resale options.
We take around 2 week-long vacations a year plus various long weekend trips throughout the school year.
I'm considering a 15-20k Worldmark package, but Welk, Hilton and Marriott all seem tempting.
