Re: Newbie Might Starwood - II getway examples - please! (by S M.):
We're debating between 2 timeshare concepts/companies - that's why we're curious about the getaways with II. We live in Seattle, but love to visit Palm Springs, AZ, etc once a year. We were hoping to hook into a "plan" that would get us the sun we need in the springtime, while still being able to take a few 3 - 4 day road trips at other times in the year. (Yeah - you have to book a whole week for a getaway, but if you get a good deal, who cares if you leave the unit before your time is up?) The timeshare Co. that has offerings near us would fit this "mini-tripping" fabulously, but the condos in their family aren't very "upscale" (who assigns those stars in the books, anyway???) At this point we really don't want to own 2 weeks, 2 maint. fees, etc. Maybe someday, but not now. Anyone have any advice?
