How many RCI points

Hello All - I have been looking to purchase another TS in New Hampshire since we head up there enough. So far we have always exchanged with II and have been perfectly happy. But, now the daughter is getting older and we will need more school vacation weeks soon and I know that will be a harder trade. So, I'm looking.

On my mind to are the DVC exchanges I USE to get with II. Althought I am fine staying off site - I do miss Vero Beach and would love to be able to snag some of the sightings I am seeing with RCI points until the time comes that I will use at the home resort.

So my question....how can I tell how many points I need in order to exchange into a particular resort....like DVC Vero Beach. Is there a chart somewhere?

Here I am 10 minutes later......
Hopped on ebay to see what was around - almost purchased Bluegreen Points with home resort at the Suites of Hershey (we stayed there this past May and I loved the area and the resort was nice). I know this is a place we will travel to and BG now owns my favorite New Hampshire resort - InnSeason South Mountain which would be perfect!

Was very tempted to the pull the trigger (3 minutes left to auction when I found it) - but I know enough to research first. Didn't do it - but if something like this comes up again I may.

So....assuming I have a few goals.....what do you think?
1. 3-4 night stays in New Hampshire about 4 times a year. Favorite resort is BG owned.
2. A trip to PA about every other year for the next 10 years or so.
3. The desire to grab a DVC sighting every now and then.
