How about a travel agency from Europe. They have them for sure.

After 25 years- I'd just take the hint and be thankful it didn't come by way of a note wrapped around a rock!

What a great Avatar you have!

We love Cabo but it would be very hot. What about Southern CA (San Diego area) Specifically Carlsbad, Del Mar or Coronado. The weather should be really nice that time of year. I would avoid the inland timeshares like in Ramona or over in Palm Springs as they could be really warm.

I always thought coastal California, especially San Diego, during the summer was just about impossible to get through a timeshare trade.

Frank,

Are you sure about Dubai in August? It's going to be VERY HOT

Just want to make sure you are aware before you finalize your plans.

Congrats on the 25th!

Maybe It depends on how good of a trader you have
If not there are a lot of rentals Tri West has quite a few at the Four Seasons Aviara and there are others

When to Visit:
The best time of the year to visit Dubai is between November and April, when the weather is coolest. Ramadan, which takes place at a different time each year on the western calendar, is the Muslim month of fasting and is strictly adhered to throughout the UAE. That means that it's illegal, not to mention rude, to eat, drink or smoke in public from sunrise to sunset during your stay.

Although the beaches are frequented throughout the year, the best beach weather in during early spring and late fall, when the water temperatures are comfortable.

Walking outdoors becomes difficult in the summer months as both temperature and humidity is high. It is strongly recommended that during the summer months, when temperatures sour above 95F (35C) and the humidity reaches above 90%, not to venture outdoors for long periods of time. Luckily, many indoor activities in Dubai can keep everyone entertained until the sun sets and the temperature drops.




I also think your dates would be real close for Ramadan 2009.

I think I might cancel Dubai, I can live with the 100 degrees but the food and no smoking cigars got to me.,

I am now looking to do a week in london a day or two in Amesterdam a few days in both Paris and Madrid Spain. Only problem is I have to drive or train it from London to Amsterdam and then drive or train it to Paris. I am on on the phone with Delta and they have been great so far trying to make it work.

There are 2 different spa resorts in France avail in August from RCI, with mandatory spa treatments for 1 person - in case your wife would enjoy some seaweed treatments!

Forget Dubai and Thailand in July. Very hot and humid. How about the Canary Islands? There's always lots of availability there. What does your wife like?

She does like beach but we had also wanted to do London , Spain and Paris which it now looks like a flop because of the miles needed.
