WorldMark isn't one of those Timeshares where you can only visit one spot one or two weeks per year. This is a program that offers credits that you can spend to visit hundreds of resorts worldwide. The more vacation credits you own, the more time you can spend vacationing in many different locations any time of year.
I'm not trying to sell you a timeshare. But purchasing this one may end up being one of the best decisions you'll ever make. It is a choice for a quality lifestyle and future. It is insurance that you won't spend life all work and no play. If you have trouble saving for vacation, this is a good way to make sure you do.
Depending on from where you are flying, be warned. You could be in for a 22 hour plane ride. Seriously consider upgrading to Business Class or take sleeping pills along to help you relax during the flight. Once you touch down you forget all about it. The pain of the long flight is well worth the reward when you reach your first destination.
