[Q=jayjay] First of all there are plenty of rentals to be had without the hassles of ownership. Once you buy a timeshare, you will be responsible for maintenance fees until you sell it or die, and even after death the maintenance fee responsibilty will be passed on to your heirs. However, if you are set on ownership the mantra is to always buy resale (can save you a LOT of money). Have you decided where you would like to own? Are you looking for 3-4 weeks in a row in the same location or in different locations? Are you buying to strictly use or to exchange? Could you please offer more details so that we may help you?[/Q] Thank you Jay-Jay for your response. Well, I don't know if I really need to buy or what. I just know that I need 3 to 4 weeks per year - together with no breaks in between. Buying would seem the logical approach given that I will need that period of time each year. Or, are you saying that I can rent 3/4 consecutive weeks in say, Maryland, Virginia, or the Washington, DC area every year? My vacation time normally falls in either February or July/August. This is fairly solid from year to year.
