Ahhh! The Smell Of Spring!
Fresh Air drifts through the open windows, along with the pollen. For some reason, we all love to vacation in the summer. I guess that's why they call it "spring fever," when this time of year comes around, and our mind drifts to our next big getaway.
We have to start thinking about packing, and if you are like me, you are probably going to overpack. I started thinking about packing today, because I am working on clearing out a room, and ran across some luggage that my husband and I have not used in the 5 years since we got married. We are working on clearing out some clutter, because we are trying to get a bedroom prepared for our 1-year old daughter. The clutter in my home is just another example of my propensity to overpack. When I go on vacation, I always bring more than I need, and come home with even more. My sister is the opposite, and although her advice has not yet served me, I will share it with you. She always makes exact plans for the vacation, and what she will wear for each occasion. If she has an outfit packed, her husband will ask her, "Where are you going to wear that?" and if she has another outfit for that same occasion, or has no answer, the outfit stays home. Seems simple enough, right? Well, good luck with that!

Getting Really Excited About Vacation!
I must confess, I'm one of those people who daydreams about vacation for months ahead of time. This year is no exception. In fact, it may be worse this year, because this is our 5 Year Anniversary, and we are going back to where we Honeymooned! You guessed it, we got a great deal! You see, on our Honeymoon, we paid about $600 to stay a week at Sunrise Ridge Resort in Pigeon Forge, TN, so we were looking for that kind of deal. This year, we are taking our two kids and heading to Gatlinburg, TN, where we found a week at Mountainloft Resort, just 2 miles from Downtown Gatlinburg, for $600, thanks to EVRentals.com (Endless Vacation Rentals, by Wyndham Worldwide). The best part: you don't have to pay any sort of membership fee or buy a timeshare to get that price. If you use code SB72497650, you can get it for even less, 10% off! So, Enjoy YOUR Vacation.
We only have 3 months until our vacation. I know, that seems like a long time, but with the weather getting warmer, I just keep thinking about it. I love to daydream about my vacation, it just seems to last longer that way. And why not daydream about it, when I am saving so much money too?

No Time Share For Me! I Prefer To Save My Money!
At every Time Share Presentation I’ve been to, the salesman is selling you on being able to vacation in luxury. He is telling you how inconvenient it is to put your whole family into a tiny hotel room, when you could buy his time share ownership, and be able to stay in a one-, two-, or three-bedroom condo or cabin. Everyone has their own space, and you are not stepping all over each other. All the comforts of home, with the fun of being away from home.
I completely agree with these salesmen, but can’t bear to part with the tens of thousands of dollars to buy into the time share, in addition to the monthly or yearly maintenance fees. For my family, the maintenance fees are about the same amount of money that we spend on our vacation each year, so it just doesn’t make sense.
Most people have been to a Time Share Presentation, and therefore most people have somehow gotten to stay at the resort without being time share owners. There has to be a way around it.
With a time share, you own a deed to a particular piece of real estate. I don’t see the point in this, because I certainly don’t want to vacation at the same location every year. I know, that was the old time share; now I trade points for vacations at my choice of locations. So why do I still own the deed? The only thing I can figure out is that I have to own the deed so they can charge me the maintenance fees for that resort – the one I don’t want to go to every year!
I’ve found a better way! There are several websites where you can book a vacation at a luxury resort for $200 - $1000 for a whole week! Take a look at these sites, and enjoy your next vacation in luxury!

Dreams Of Vacation!
Ah, the mere thought of vacation brings a smile to your face. You plan for months, and dream for even longer! You find yourself sitting in your office, thinking of the beach, or the mountains, or the lake, or wherever your dream vacation is.
You want to vacation in luxury, but you don't want to pay for it. That's where I can help.
The search for Luxury Vacations began for me when my husband and I were planning our Honeymoon. Needless to say, we wanted to vacation in complete luxury, but we couldn’t afford what we really wanted. Our original dream was to go to the Grand Canyon. We live in eastern North Carolina, so that was quite a distance to travel. As we began to look into the trip, between the cost of somewhere to stay and the cost of getting there, we decided that was beyond our means at the time, and began to look closer to home. Still, we wanted the whole “Honeymoon Suite” experience, NOT just a hotel room somewhere.
We managed to get a trial for a Vacation Membership Club, which got us a week at a Resort in Pigeon Forge, TN for about $600. This was a dream come true for us, and thus began the search for Luxury Vacations For Less. We knew if we got there once, we could do it again. However, we could not afford to continue that Vacation Membership Club, and we started looking for other options.
I looked into so many different vacation membership clubs, and ran into several problems. They were all so much more reasonably priced than time share ownership, but still out of our budget.

You see, we are coming up on our 5 year anniversary, and we want to go back to Pigeon Forge, TN, where we honeymooned. We have updated vacation needs, due to the two children we have added to the picture! It may be selfish, but we want a little privacy on vacation, so we want to have our own room, where we can close the door, and leave the kids in the living room or in their room. These needs cannot be met in a regular hotel room. Then I discovered that there are websites where you can book a luxury vacation for just a few hundred dollars, without being a member of anything! I can stay in a resort for $200 - $1000 for a whole week!
Take a look at some of the websites I have linked, and enjoy your next Vacation In Luxury!
