December 16, 2011. Paradise Village, Mexico. Time Shares.

Over the years, we have made very good use of our Time Shares.  Early on, we realized how useful they could be for our family.  We could see that we fixed the price of our vacations and that all we would need to pay would be the airfare.   We exchanged our time shares for places all over the world and stayed in places that we never could have afforded.  We vacationed in Japan and Austria, France and Switzerland, and all over the continental US and Canada, all using our time share exchanges.

Eventually we owned several time shares and they served us well.  Everyone told us that time shares were bad investments and they are, but they did for us exactly what we wanted, which was to force us to use these time shares for our vacations.  We stopped talking about our  Time Shares, we just enjoyed them.

Now that we are retired and live part time in Nova Scotia and Mexico, we do not need our time shares, so we have turned all but one into Paradise Village in exchange for one large number of points.   Ken commented recently that planning for the future is over.  Now we must do it now!!
