Any of you favor timeshares as vacation option?


Any of you find timeshares a favorable option for your vacations? Or are you more the sort of person who grabs a tent and heads for the woods? Or takes only Disney vacations or Six Flags marathons?

And with the recession and unemployment or housing crises still rampant throughout most of our fair nation, maybe you really aren’t able to take any vacations. That’s sort of the category I find myself in. “Vacation” for my wife and I this summer may permit a 200 mile trip to not-so-far-away Kansas City to see their terrific museum.

But back to the question in the title — have you ever done anything with timeshares? I ask because I just read an online press release from a law firm in Florida which is offering a free legal consultation to Floridians who feel they were misled by timeshare sales people.

That made me remember that the only friends I’ve had who have committed to paying for a timeshare were split about evenly between those who felt it was a great decision and those who would mortgage their first born child to get out of a timeshare agreement. So obviously, as a vacation option, timeshare contracts could be good or bad.
