I was hoping to receive some guidance as a new (nearly) Marriott TS owner.
We're in the final stages of closing on our resale mkt. purchase MMC in VA. Don't have the deed yet, recording pending so possibly a few weeks away from completion.
We will own 2BD/2BR villa (MMC I), platinum, annual, floating wk., non-LO.
I contacted Owner Svcs. yesterday and it appears our desire to travel after our teens get out of high school, late June, early July 2007 will not be possible. All reserved. As I suspected, it is getting late to reserve peak season there for '07.
I don't want to go in Aug., would rather postpone summer travel (Hot/Humid - ugh!). Although getting closer, for now, it is more difficult for us to travel in fall/winter but we could do a school vacation or holiday week in 2007. FL maybe?
I am planning to open an II membership after recording is completed. I could very likely bank my 2007 week. We won't travel next year.
We were thinking maybe we could use 1 wk. (banked '07) in 2008 to MMC (home resort), banking '08 week. we'll reserve early to get July wk. Will we likely succeed this time, as we're early and this is our home resort?
Ideally, in 2009 we want a 1 wk. June or July reservation to St. Thomas (Frenchman's Cove), using previous yr. ('08) week. We will request as early as allowed by II - 18 months advance? Can I request further out?
What is the probability of getting what I want and exchanging an MMC July week for a summer in St. Thomas - USVI?
Thank you for any help.
