After a frustrating year in which neither the coverage nor the transportation I had expected fell into place, things are looking up. The most important and exciting thing I plan to do with my improving situation is to give presentations titled “Music and Readings for Humanity,” drawing upon both essays I am writing and music I composed (along with some covers).
The only problem now is that December and January are the costliest months of the year. In addition to Christmas and taxes, I have the maintenance and club fees for the timeshare we own. Now I face one more additional cost of purchasing the transportation for my presentation goals (and let’s face it, some recreational endeavors as well).
I have not been able to use the timeshare the last ten years for myself, giving it instead to family members, or twice losing the availability. “Why not,” I say to myself now, “trade use of the timeshare next year for the cost of maintenance and club fees?”
The cost amounts to $1500. The benefit depends upon where, when and for how many. The locations where the timeshare can be used stretches from the Caribbean to Hawaii, with additional locations in South Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Colorado and California. The timeshare can be a studio, one bedroom (good for four), or two bedroom (good for six). In a prime location like Hawaii, a two bedroom likely can only be for one week during off peak. For a studio and/or less than prime location like Myrtle Beach, the vacation can be for two weeks. Considering that all of these timeshare resorts have full kitchens and other amenities, the value significantly exceeds the cost of $1500.
The time, place and type of timeshare must fall within next year, 2026. Let’s make a deal that provides you a vacation for below normal cost, while helping me acquire the transportation needed for humanitarian and recreational ends. Leave a comment if interested, or if you know someone who would be.
Smart move to suggest this! I have shared to FB.
Wonderful ideas! Can you clarify whether you would be offering one vacation for the $1500 annual fee or are you proposing that several people would be offered a timeshare stay for $1500 each at whatever locations they select?
Cheerily,

$1500 for one person, possibly multiple stays depending on the room type, location and time of year. For example, more than one week is possible for a studio at the Myrtle Beach location. The comp for the various lodging scenarios probably averages out to about $2500, making the savings about %40.
