When our family first joined DVC in 1995, I found an Excel Spreadsheet on the internet that made it extremely easy to not only keep track of the points used from year to year, but also experiment with the numbers to see how may points it would take for the perfect vacation. I have been using the spreadsheet ever since.
I've tried all the other "programs" that various people have put together with the fancy pictures and great graphics. Yet, I kept coming back to the Excel spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, I've lost the website I pulled it from. The person who developed the spreadsheet was Bill Abrams. I would prefer not to give his name and instead give you a web address, but I don't have it.
If anyone knows where I can contact Bill, please let me know. I'd love to see if he has an updated version of the spreadsheet.
