Heck of a exchange/ Midnite hour
I have been trying every day to get a good exchange with my Beach & Racquet Club week 13, 1 br MB . It never did much and I wouldn't see much of a change thru the week but on Sunday I'd hope for something after the updates. Didn't see to many changes , a few more weeks added to where I didn't want to go but POW!! , last night. I grabbed a 2BR 4th of July week beachfront at the Maritime in NMB.(2011) I love that area and just came back from there. I drove by Maritime and it is completely redone (hurricane demolished it) I'll take it. I'm really glad that I pulled it as I am really worried about what RCI is up to. Ok,, Marge now you get a room at Wyndam, Pat, you too and we have the start of a get together!! shaggy

Hi Shaggy, so glad you got a great trade!
Your Beach House week has an internal trading preference for Maritime and IMO one other decent resort - we liked both the 2-BR's at Maritime and the 3-BR's at Windy Shores II, because in addition to location, they both have the oceanfront master bedrooms with balconies, so you can listen to the ocean all night. This is one of the 2 benefits that redeem ownership of that week. (The other is the cheap bonus time at those 2 resorts in off-season at last minute, so you can wait for the weather report.)
I agree that searching online is more fun, sounds like you were online at the perfect moment!
You should theoretically also have consistently good results with ongoing searches for any MB resort under the same management co, for prime season - we did. (At least, if RCI doesn't mess things up too bad in the future.) Have you ever tried an ongoing search? It's a different kind of thrill, but still a major thrill, when you log in and there's a match like that waiting for you.
Enjoy, and let us know if you ever have an extra BR at one of your MB trips that needs people to fill it.
(Otherwise one of these years, how 'bout a meet-up at the tavern in Old Salem?)

Good for you Shaggy! Enjoy your exchange!Angela
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.

Manual, that's why I was exxcited when I got it, and it wasn't on a Sunday right after the update. Was very surprised to see it. shaggyOriginally posted by JLBComment

Laurie, where do you live in NC? I'll meet you anytime at the Salem Tavern. They grill their meatloaf. Never had it like that before but really liked it. shaggyComment

Grilled meatloaf?Originally posted by shaggy View Post
Is that allowed?
Seems it is breaking some kind of BBQ law.

Kind of weird, but you the get the "marks" and all. It was really yummy. Maybe they slice it and grill it? who knows but good. shaggyComment

Of course I am an old fuddy duddy, but I would be excited if I got something good through an Ongoing Search . . . probably tempered by the many decent trades I usetaget myself online.Originally posted by shaggy View PostRCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dickComment
