Don't have much in the fire yet, guess I need to get going!!!

About all we have planned is a non timeshare trip to Italy - 2 weeks end of April.

Might do "Christmas in Newport" festival again sometime in December - Newport, RI

Other than that not sure. Younger son graduates college in May.

Now see, the whole POINT of RCI points is to not plan!

Plus, you can get the best weeks exchanges at the last minute with the bluest and greenest weeks, so after this spring, no more big planning for me. Of course, planning is the BEST part of a vacation, but I will just have to control myself, I guess, and leave all those great exchanges I see almost every day alone.

So far this year:
January--two weeks in Disney, one at Cypress Harbour and the other at Disney's Old Key West. Both were II exchanges and both were AC's.

April 28th-May5th at Fairfield Waikiki Beachwalk two bedroom. EXCHANGE
May 5th-May 12th at Kahana Falls in a two bedroom. EXCHANGE

I was going to help our foster son Kimeul by waiting to get him the ideal week in Orlando with his blue week, so two days ago I found a three bedroom in September (23rd-30th) at Hilton Seaworld. I could nt resist that one. Nothing better would have come along for him (at the last minute in Orlando) and his six or seven friends, so that was just perfect for their trip. Kimeul is very excited about that resort!

NO MORE PLANNING AHEAD! I keep having to remind myself to wait for the great places with low numbers of points and Last Call.

Shaping up timeshare-wise better than body-wise lol. We're practicing for retirement.

Jan 19- Ron Jon's Cape Caribe Cocoa Beach
Jan 26 - Sheraton's Vistana's Beach Club
March 24 - HGVC Las Vegas Strip
March 31 - Cruise! Hawaii
April 7 - Mauna Loa Village by the Sea HI

I'd like to squeeze in a summer week where it might be a little cooler--will sit tight and wait for something to pop in RCI points. I'd also like to add another week in Cancun.
