It's Vacation time! Yep, winter is here and it's time to
find that perfect resort, timeshare, vacation home, hotel,
tent, or RV. There's lots of ways to get out of town and
experience someplace different. And that's the point I
want to make; about someplace different. Shouldn't we all
have a chance to experience other countries and see what
adventures these far aff places have for us? Shouldn't we
all get to have a variety in the places we choose to
vacation?
In exploring the possibility of buying into a resort in
another country, I was considering buying into a friend's
beach home community in another country. I am friends with
the owner and I had been hearing about this incredible
opportunity for years. I was fascinated by the possibility
of owning a place in another country. I was actually
considering it very much. I had been speaking with other
people I know who had bought property in that country and
was very encouraged by them and I had no reservations right
away about buying the property except for a few things that
crept up later and were now on my mind. For one, it was a
lot of money to invest in this new community. I secondly
thought about having to maintain this property on top of
already maintaining two of my properties right here in my
town, and that was enough already. There were going to be
expenses that were not yet evident, but likey! I also
thought of the possibility of hurricanes and other
disasters occurring to this country, as it is in "hurricane
alley". There were definite considerations with owning a
property in another country such as this.
I explored another option and leaned toward something I
thought was a bit more safe, a timeshare? I looked into it
and found that timeshares at the resorts that were close to
where I was considering buying, were approximately
$3-$7,000 and much more for others. This was much less
than buying an actual property in another country. But I
had some reservations with the timeshares as well. My main
one was what I mentioned earlier, experiencing someplace
different was my main reason to get away in the first
place. With a timeshare, I was limited to my one timeshare
and seeing the same place over and over again for as long
as I was in posession of it. I would have had some ability
to swap. But this swapping is not often easy or able to be
done when and where you want it to happen. Plus, the
timeshares came with yearly maintenance fees.
It was during this time when I searched and found out about
a timeshare alternative. It is based around a network of
5000 4 and 5 star resorts located around the world in 60
countries. The concept is different in these ways, there
is no owning of any particular unit, all resorts in the
network are available to the member, thier family and
guests, all resorts are available during any time of year.
The ability to travel to 60 countries and be a member of
5000 resorts, is a new option and alternative to
vacationing.
Between the time I was considering this property and now,
that country I was considering buying property in was
directly hit by a massive hurricane! I was very glad I had
no property down there to worry about.
There are often alternatives to any one way of doing things
if we just look for them. Don't think you are stuck with
the norm. Today, there are more choices and higher quality
ones too. If you are looking into vacation options, find
out all you can before buying into just one place! See
something different ever time!
