Rci ??

[mrsswat]

has anyone traded to somewhere they thought was really nice and gone in the summer? I teach, so a summer vacation is all I've got and I'm starting to give some serious thought to "somewhere else" besides the World next summer. Thanks for any input!

Some places we've traded into using RCI--
Lake Lure NC
Hilton Head Island SC (we liked Waterside by Spinnaker (good location))

we love myrtle beach, and southern florida.

We'd love to be able to rent a Disney-type family villa somewhere, preferably the Caribbean, but even the Outer Banks or Myrtle Beach would be nice. Has anyone done this with their points?

We've been to a number of places, more II than RCI though. If you're looking for rating type info, I'd suggest the Timeshare Users group (tug2.net) which has ratings and reviews. Even more detailed info is included at Timesharing Today. Also, tripadvisor has some info but I don't think it tends to be accurate. redweeks has some review/rating info but it's pretty weak right now. TUG is by far the best IMO and at $15 for a year, last I heard, renewals were $10, it's a bargain. They may have a 3 year deal that's more in the $25-30 range but it's not listed on the website if they still have it. If it were I, I'd email them asking about a 3 year deal and do that if they still have it.

The caribbean sounds good too! The trade doesn't have to be RCI, we're just thinking something different. I will definitely look into the reviews. Thanks again
