The most I have ever had in the past was 2 trips in a calendar year or 3 trips in any 12 month period.
However we just joined
DVC and closed in January and it is changing how we travel Our 2012 year now looks like this...
January- 4 night couple only trip with DH to celebrate anniversary (left kids with grandma for first time!) (Cash- hadn't closed yet)
March- weekend just for me with a couple girlfriends for a girls only weekend in Hilton Head 2 bedroom (points)
June/July- our family of four...2 nights AKL studio (points) followed by cruise on the Fantasy (cash) followed by 4 nights SSR studio (points)
September- our family of four... 2 nights BLT studio for Labor Day weekend. Serious impulse buy when seeing low airfare one day! Wasn't planned! Figured I had points and APs, what could I lose? I would have never done this before DVC.
November- our family of four and my 2 parents.... 10 night Thanksgiving BWV 2 bedroom (points). This and the June trip were our big plans for the year. The rest of the trips took on a life of their own after the fact!
I look at my upcoming trips on dvc site and I think what in the world??? Then I just have to laugh. I know this isn't a lot for some people but it is by far the most traveling we have ever done in a year. Every single one of DH vacation days from work is accounted for at this point!
