My name is Nicki and my husband Kurt. We went to Virginia to a friend's wedding in April 2 years ago. We had been given invites to Massanutten resort by an uncle who owns there for two years before that and always declined. But this particular time we thought we'd take advantage of the free weekend since the wedding was only 40 minutes away, and yes my husband got sucked in by the developer, purchasing one week Upper and lower units locked, fixed week #43 which we can split into two, and also they gave us 2 "bonus" weeks, so we have up to 4 weeks of vac to use each year which is crazy!!!
I remember my family going through the whole sales pitch in Florida when I was in 9th grade and was exposed to it briefly on our honeymoon in Aruba. At first, we didn't understand how it would really benefit us and were curious to do the tour, but we hadn't done our research prior, so we probably didn't make the smartest choice b/c now we are a bit frustrated with it and are not sure we will get our money's worth, so that's why I googled for help and found YOU! I need to learn more so I can get the best of what we want for what we have. I am more conservative, so spending all this money is hard! I only look at the bottom line and just see $$$$$.
We have two small children, 18mon and 5 who will be starting Kgarten in the fall, so it is hard to vacation with them and now will be entering the school calendar as well! My husband loves the mountains and I love the beach, so I wish we wouldn't have bought so much time so I could still rent a condo at the beach and not feel guilty about the extra $ we're putting out!
On the other hand, in just two years we have had some nice vacations to our home resort Massanutten, VA, and then to New Bern NC, and Lodges at Cresthaven Lake George. We did have a 10 year anniversary trip planned without kids in July to St. Maartin, but realized we just can't put out that much money this year, so we cancelled.
