Currently, there are plently of great weeks available with Shell Vacation Club ("SVC").  SVC has a number of very nice properties in Hawaii including Kauai, Oahu and the Big Island. 

Using my timeshare trick found here, I have been able to search Interval International inventory for approximately 2 years in advance. 

Using this trick, I am able to see some fantastic weeks for Christmas, 2017.  

​Here are some weeks for the Big Island

​Here are some weeks for Kauai!

​Here are some weeks for Oahu.

These are some great opportunities to reserve you Christmas week for 2017!  You can purchase E-Plus with these weeks and you will be able to see weeks for 2018. With E-Plus, you can always exchange into a different week if flights do not work out but since you will have over a year to plan, these can work out great!

Grab them if you want them as these will disappear soon as requests start coming in.

This is a rare sighting. A 3 bedroom unit in Maui, Hawaii for less than $300 for the week.
I saw this using the free week certificate in Interval International. This is an awesome deal!
​If you see it, grab it! Short post to get this info out.

One of the biggest issues with timeshares is the requirement to book far in advance in order to get desirable weeks and resorts.  Some people just can't plan far in advance which makes timeshare ownership not a great fit for these types of planners.

My general rule is that I always have a vacation planned, even when we are already on vacation.  It keeps me motivated at work and gives me something to look forward to.  With Thanksgiving behind us, I am already in the process of planning our vacation for next Thanksgiving week in 2017!.

I find that Thanksgiving week is a great time to travel OUTSIDE of the country.  Since it is an american holiday, it is generally slow most places outside of the United States.  Within the US, travel is very busy! 

Also, most offices shut down on Wednesday so it is generally a very slow week for most work.  Schools sometimes give students off the entire week or have a two day week.

In either case, it is generally a slow week for work and school and I have found it to be a great time to get out of the US.

I continually state that you need to plan in advance if you want great weeks.  I wanted to put together a few great opportunities that I see now for Thanksgiving week for 2017.  Here are a few great options that can be booked through Interval International as Getaways, meaning you can book with cash instead of trading your points or timeshare weeks.

As a reminder, these are non-cancellable but do offer some great deals! If you know that you will definitely be traveling during Thanksgiving, these can be great deals and will secure you some great opportunities for Thanksgiving 2017!

This is a just a brief selection of what is currently available for Thanksgiving.  Make sure to put on your ongoing request search as well as setup a Getaway alert in order to make sure you get your Thanksgiving week!
