  • I feel like I hit the RCI lottery twice this week

    Tuesday night out of nowhere a unit popped up in Kona at the same resort, the same week that we already have a 2 bdr unit reserved this coming March. I've had an ongoing search in weeks for 6 months with no hits. I got up early and checked the standard points reservation search the first day it was searchable, no dice. I went back to the standard points search for a couple of days after that to see if maybe someone cancelled something but no such luck. Tuseday night for no reason except boredom, I checked standard points again and there it was. Now nobody has to sleep on the sofa bed!

    I went over to weeks and took Hawaii out of my search and put in a search for Ireland from Memorial Day 2008 into September 2008 and guess what, it let me search longer than 2 years out (don't tell anyone ). This morning, 8/17/2006, I had a 2 bdr at Fitzpatrick Castle on hold for 8/16/2008. So I was able to make a trade, 1 year, 364 days and 17 hours from the check-in date, is that a record or what?!?!

      Now that's a thought. Katmandu may be right.

        If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

        BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

            Good for you! We're going back to Fitzpatrick Castle next year, loved it the last time. Also I'm still looking for Hawaii in the 14-30 day window with high hopes but like you said, I've turned down a couple of matches due to reviews).

            Maybe some of your luck will rub off!

              I'm so glad to see that SOMEONE can do a points "Standard" search. Since the launch of the new RCI website I can only do a points for "Weeks" search. Regardless of the destination or date, I keep getting the.....nothing available, try again....blurb.

              Just grousing....Congrats on the great finds. I love it when I see timeshare families score great resorts!
              Is it vacation time yet?

                  Hi Anne, yes it's 2B, you can leave me a note taped to the inside of one of the kitchen cabinets with directions to the best pub you find while you're there
