We have so many timeshare weeks to use and not enough time available to use them. I am thinking of using one of the weeks in Las Vegas during ASD in the summer. Since I have wanted to go to this show as it is one of the largest events with hundreds of vendors that I would love to see all in one place! That could be a business expense, oh yea!
Then we are talking about going to Williamsburg VA and use one week there. We have been to Virginia Beach which was nice, if we get to go it will be in July. Perfect for a visit to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens.
We then have another week available to us that we will most likely not use. Its getting frustrating to keep having to bank these weeks and even more frustrating trying to rent them out to someone else. Its a great buy but I cant find a buyer and those companies that promise to rent your week are so bogus!
Its also tough finding the funds to travel. I hate stay cations, I truly believe we HAVE to go somewhere. I dont care where just somewhere. Driving to Virginia is a great deal, its about an 8 hour drive and depending on gas prices it will still be low priced for us. Since we stay at a timeshare we will be able to save on buying meals by cooking inside. People think timeshares are expensive but you have to remember that majority they come with a fully equipped kitchen. How much would you spend on eating out daily for ALL your meals and snacks? Since we mainly drive to our vacation spots we can being everything with us or find a local market and stock up on things.
When we went to Hawaii we stayed in a timeshare. We were there for two weeks! Can you imaging how much we would spend on meals? We were able to bring spices with us on the plane and thats about it so we had to buy everything. If you plan you meals carefully you can buy enough food and not have waste. While in Hawaii we purchased one cereal box, one tub of ice cream, one box of pasta and sauce, small packs of meats. Things like that really help save money. Even instant items that dont require a lot of ingredients. We love our timeshare and actually dread staying at a hotel since we are 'spoiled' by them.
Since we will drive to Williamsburg we can shop for everything locally and bring it with us and what ever we dont use we bring back home! Perfect! OK there will be 3 or 4 of us on this trip. 3 meals for 4 people with each person averaging $10 per person per meal... figure $40 per meal or $120 per day or $840 for the week! We rent our time share for just $900 a week! Thats a two bedroom that usually sleep between 6-8 depending on the location. You would spend that much on a week of eating out! Eat breakfast in daily save $280. Make sandwiches for lunch and buy items for dinner you could save another $280 on lunch and $280 for dinner! Its a no brainer.
Anyone want to rent a timeshare week!
