  • Hammerheads at II

    OK So I casually mentioned to DW that there have been some sightings
    at Harboside recently. Her Face lit up and she shook her head yes. We
    agreed to next fall after labor day of 08. Yeah I know I am a little
    late getting on the Harborside bandwagon but I figure what the heck.
    So I go on II and did a search and no luck. Decide to call and put in
    a request.

    Boy was this rep really stubborn. " We don't get that many exhanges
    for 2br's, Do you want to use your 1BR blah, blah , blah, you can do
    a getaway for $2300, blah, blah , blah" So I proceeded to tell her
    that I personally know of some friends that have seen and obtained
    some exchanges recently. She really almost talked me out of it...

    In the end I told her to put in for my request anyway!!!! For a 2br!

        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.

            That's not true at all. You've sighted so many fabulous exchanges for people, that I couldn't even begin to list them. Not just through RCI either. Trading Places, DAE, etc.

            We can't help it, it's what we both enjoy doing!

            Of course there are many others that also spot, and list great opportunities. Ken immediately comes to mind, but as I said there are many others also.

                    Bill, I am so happy for you. Great exchange! I guess I will have to put in a request for the next year, if I can talk Rick into it.

                      There are a few of us that wake up early to check the sightings. It's the first thing I do every morning. Plus it's before my husband is awake, so he can't gripe about my timeshare "forum time."

                      I have been reading about everyone's good fortune exchanging into Harborside with great envy. Unfortunately, we have 2008 booked. I'd surely cancel Cancun in March, but I'm certain we'll never see Harborside for that time. I'll be watching for these sightings in 2009.

                      Enjoy planning for your trips.

                          I read "Hammerheads" and "sightings at Harborside" and I initially thought this thread was about sharks, too! The first thing that I thought was, "Oh, no, I won't want to swim in the ocean if there's sharks at the Atlantis!" Then I read more carefully and realized the hammerheads were at II, not at the beach.

                          It looks like I've missed the Harborside opportunity. When I read that people were getting weeks there, I rushed to pay the dues on a week I had just bought, then deposited it into II and started a search for January or February. However, nothing has turned up. Probably my chances would be better for fall, but I had to work then. Oh well; I really shouldn't be spending the money for an Atlantis trip right now, anyway.

                          And yes, the sightings are greatly appreciated! I was able to get Marriotts Fairways at Seaview for next summer!

                            I'm becoming a believer in not worrying about what you see for exchanges and just put in for what you want. If you do it early enough, 1-2 years out, I'm confident you can get things.
