Hi! Brand new to this forum today! WOw am I seeing a lot of info I have never heard of before in just reading these posts!!! We have owned at Massanutten resort in VA for 2 years now. We've had some nice vacas by exchanging in RCI, and most recently booked and now cancelled a caribbean vaca due to the overall costs of airfare and economy! But now we've decided it's better to take our kids to the beach, otherwise, we won't get family time this summer and DD starts Kgarten in the fall. So now we are working around the school calendar.
We had deposited and split our 2 bd gold crown lock out unit a year ago and just now cancelled our July 09 vaca, but bought the insurance as to not lose the trading power. Kept our 2nd owner's week (after split) reserved at Mass week 43, but now doing an ongoing search through RCI for a summer beach vaca started yesterday in place of July 09 week. We also have two bonus weeks and were thinking to use one of those for our May anniversary, was thinking of NYC or Atlantic city or ME.
I am planning to deposit our weeks for 2010 now so can get a beach vaca summer 10, but I did that last year too and still seemed only thing available is off season. Not sure where my trading power ranks. Never thought of trading without using RCI and don't know how. Never knew of using other companies either.. can I do that? If my ongoing search produces nothing til summer, any suggestions? Am I doing things right? It's hard for me to plan so far in advance since DH owns his business and never know when's the best time to go. I"ll take any advice, suggestions, help to utilize what I have the best I can. I hate having to pay exchange fees to reserve my owners weeks and then use bonus weeks for my home resort! I pay fees to book all four weeks annually.
