Those who like to travel raise your glasses high me too. I have spent the better part of the last 9 years traveling. Some I dont think even exist lol.
I Aside from owning a home I also own 3 timeshare properties. 1 in Puerto Vallarta and 1 in Puerto Morales both in Mexico and 1 in Va., USA. Timeshares do require a maintenance fee 1 time a year. They have allowed me to see the world basically for the cost of the timeshares which I own them all for life. The travel companies such as RCI HSI P/P and many other own timeshares at resorts in every country in the world. Depending upon where and what kind of timeshare you purchase is really the key factor to it all. Through RCI a gold crown in a red week is the best you can get. It has the basic trading power to allow you to stay in any 5 star resort anywhere in the world and pay nothing for a room that could potentially cost anywhere from $300 to $1500 a night. The only cost you entail is the plane ticket there and back. IN some countries such as Mexico the Dominican Republic etc you generally pay 25%-50% on the all-inclusive fee. If anyone else can explain this more accurately please feel free to chime in. I would like to hear about some places I may not have been to that others have and there experiences.
For example: When I went to cancun I did not spend every day and night getting wasted. Instead We went out and seen the sights and enjoyed the activities such as snorkeling at paradise reef, scuba diving in underwater caves and all along the ocean floor, rented a jet boat, rented wace runners, went para sailing, went ATV riding horseback riding in the mountains, rode horse bareback and went swimming with them, went swimming with dlphins, visited the ruins of chi chinitza and tulum went to a 3000 year old man made quarry that is connected to the gulf of mexico but the really cool thing about this place called xel ha is although the Gulf of Mexico is salt water this quarry is fresh water. Dont ask how the mayans figured this out but they built a limestone wall across the inlet and about 6 feet higher then high tide. When the salt water goes threw the limestone wall it filters enough salt out of the water that by the time the water spreads out into the lake it is 100% fresh water. There are tons of wildlife at xel ha and tons of exotic fish to see if you decide to bring a face mask and snorkel and even get a disposable underwater camera. The water is crystal clear and they have cliffs you can dive off of rope swings and tubes for 1 and 2 people to float around in. The quarry is massive and never crowded. There is always something to do. You can even do things in puerto vallarta like go 5000 feet up into the mountains by hiking and strap on a harness and spend the next 2 hours on zip lines in the trees in the jungle in the same exact place that they filmed the movie predator which every bodybuilder in the world knows Arnold Schwarzenegger. There is so much to do and it is all a ton of fun. When you get done you go back to your resort shower and relax and order room service or go out and enjoy the night life go in the pool with the swim up bars in it go to a nice fancy 5 course dinner at a 5 star restruant and eat for free or do nothing at all.
I am going to Cabo for a week in October has anyone been there and do you have any recommendations? Also, Lets here some other peoples experiences. I have a ton more as well. Lets see how this thread gets going before I write a book on traveling and vacations.
Respectfully, Wake
