Hey, thanks for all the info.

On our honeymoon, my grandparents let us stay at a timeshare in CO, and they gave us the sales spiel, and not knowing any better, (about things like how hard it would be for her to get a job, took 6 months for that to happen) we bought into the Discovery package. Give you some 189,000 points for about $1500, with the option to roll it into ownership after trying it out.

We tried it out, liked it, and didn't want to lose the money we already spent, so went ahead and bought in to ownership.

We justify it now knowing that it will be a lifelong vacationing investment, once paid off in a few years, it will be ours forever. Only problem being the %@!# yearly maintenance fees.

Glad to hear that it may have been a good thing, wish we had gotten in secondary market if it was cheaper, but I think we probably did OK with that Discovery rollover it at least covered all their bogus expenses for closing and whatnot stuff they made up.

We've been to 6-7 Fairfield resorts, they were all pretty nice.

Thanks again!
