Testimonial: How to Exchange Your Timeshare Weeks for a European Vacation
Paradise Timeshare Resale clients Sylvia and Gary own four timeshares. Three are located in Lake Tahoe and one in Sedona. They are experts at exchanging their timeshare weeks to different resorts around the world. Their specialty is traveling to Europe. This friendly couple has exchanged 22 timeshare weeks during seven wonderful European vacations. They were very kind to share their secrets acquired over 10 years with us.
Sylvia and Gary offer the following advice to maximize your European timeshare exchange vacation. Number one, isolate one country or geographic area for the trip. Number two; you must be flexible with your schedule. A larger vacation window will give you more options. They will often schedule a four-week trip that uses three weeks of timeshare exchange and one week of traditional hotel stays. Number three; you must plan at least one year ahead of your vacation. Number four; you do not always have to use RCI and II to make your exchange. They have also had good success with Trading Places and DialanExchange.com. Number five; you can expect to find timeshare accommodations in Europe a little more basic than the traditional resort in the United States. The rooms are clean but with simpler furnishings.
Sylvia recommends that you do your homework before the vacation. This will not only help enhance your vacation experience but it will also save you money. You will know if good public transportation is available or if you need to rent a car. She recommends Rick Steve's “Europe Through the Back Door” country guidebooks. Make sure you get the current year so you have the most up-to-date information. The couple enjoys the luxury of being able to unpack for a week and really getting to know a new city and culture. “Our timeshare allows us to save money on meals. We like to go grocery shopping with the locals. We cook breakfast in the morning and usually pack a lunch for a day out exploring the town.”
Gary and Sylvia offer one final bit of advice for timeshare buyers “Never pay full price for a timeshare! You get a much better deal on the resale market from Paradise.”
