Took the II plunge....

I have been away from any timeshare forums for quite some time but have found my way back for knowledge and insight.
II gave us a guarantee exchange or our money back so we thought we'd give it a try. Of course we want to exchange into Key West. I can only hope our Longboat Bay Club will surfice.
Any thoughts on the subject or are we completely nuts to believe this will be a feasible exchange? Our exchange ranges from Mar to May 09.

Good luck on this. You are not out anything if it does not work - just the hopes of a vacation in the Keys. By the way that would be my pick too.....

We have never been to the Keys and given that we are Jimmy Buffett fans it would be unimaginable not to go there. We had considered just renting our our week at Longboat and then rent from something in the Keys.
We have had a pretty good run of luck this summer so hope it hasn't run out.

We have been going to Key West annually since 1999. I'm assuming that your Long Boat Bay Club is the old Marriott resort? It's getting a little late for next spring's deposit (a lot of people, including me , have put in requests) but if you deposited a winter week, I would think you would have a decent chance to snag a Hyatt Beach House or Windward Pointe week. I'm guessing your exchange probably won't come thru until as late as Dec/Jan.

Good luck.
