This is a bit late in coming. I have been reading and enjoying the posts on this board for a while(even won points from Big Frank!); just never got around to posting to this thread.
Bought first timeshare off ebay for closing costs(Dells in WI), after much research on here and on TUG, so THANK YOU! Family is dwindling down, daughter is in college, and son is in high school. They still love and prefer to vacation with us(go figure!), therefore I found it necessary to find larger accommodations.
Our first exchange is for Hawaii in June '09, can't wait!

I still want to purchase another unit somewhere, so I will be learning more to determine the location.
