The end of the day. (Tue 9/23 3rd)
So this evening we went to listen to the sales pitch for Worldmark (they used to be known as Trendwest). If you have never heard of this, it is basically a time share that you can buy but instead of buying a certain week(s) at a specific location. With Worldmark you buy points, that you then use at any of there 68 locations, each room is given a point value based on the size of the unit, the day of the week and the time of the year. So for an example if you wanted to stay at the Hawaii location for the week of Christmas (the busiest season of the year) you might use 1200 points a night to stay there. But if you want to stay at the Seattle location in late winter (not a very busy time) you might use up only 400 points a night. Make sense? Also on top of your points they have what's called bonus time. Since obviously their locations aren't filled up 24/7/365, you can rent a room with less than 14 days notice and pay something like .12 per point a night so a 400 a point night would cost you around 48.00 a night. That way you can use your points for a big trip and use the bonus time for a quick weekend getaway.
Obviously we bought it, I have actually been wanting this since we went to one of there presentations around 8 years ago, but are just now in a position where we could comfortably afford it. I have known a few people who own this and have even stayed at one of there locations before and loved it. They have studio, one,two and three bedroom condos with everything you need in them, full kitchens with dishes and linens. I am so excited to start using this. We even got a free week just for signing up, so we are thinking we may use that in the spring to take Bug to Disneyland. We will have to wait and see on that one though.
Unfortunately the day finished on a bit of a sour note, we were supposed to go out for Blue's birthday dinner after the presentation, but the whole process took so long that the restaurant was closed by the time we were done, so we had to go to another place called The Whitehouse. The food was really good there but nothing like what he had wanted to have so it was a bit disappointment. I did give him his present though and he seemed to like it. I got him a handheld GPS unit that he can use shen he is out blazing trails on his ATV.
