Re: Marriott Vacation Club "Destinations" - What I Like and What I've Done (by Kathryn M.):
Dennis--
I think you have said that you have purchased a Marriott week on the "aftermarket", so I have a couple of questions that you might be able to answer for me. If you purchase an Odd Year Floating unit are the maintenance fees paid every year or every other year? Do you still go through Marriott to book your week--and if so, do you follow the "Weeks Owners" calendar for booking (but would it be the 12 month out)? Could this week be traded through II--or would it also be available for trade in the Marriott System? I know we can't bring it in with the rest of our Marriott Weeks in the Destinations Program. We are considering one in Hawaii, but wasn't sure if a Marriott Rep would be willing to answer these questions since I would not be purchasing it through them. Any thoughts in general (we would be going through Red Week)?
Many thanks--
Kathy
