I think you are correct and you have to remember that sometimes things happen and you may not be able to take that one week a year. For me I think it is a bit of a rip off seeing that we pay $36 every month and this will be the first year we have used it since aquiring it. I even looked at selling the property but I was told the resale value is nowhere near what was paid for it.

======== Not sure whose posting you are answering.

However, the resort is not really responsible for our personal work or vacation schedules, is it? I hope you have been able to rent out the weeks you could not use or deposit them for future use with an exchange company to extend their "shelf life". And that you enjoy your resort this year.

If you can't go in 2008, consider offering your week through RedWeeks to recover maintenance fees and something toward your equity. Some resorts will try to rent your week out for you, taking a percentage of any proceeds. Of course, nobody can absolutely guarantee that a week will rent, but it never hurts to try (as long as you don't pay a big up-front fee!) MD
