At the start of summer, the last call vacations are drying up, and pickings at top resorts are few and between. As such, we’ll be spending the next couple of weeks (months?) in lower rated resorts unless I can snag some good weeks.<\/p>\n

We begin the month of June still at Crossville, TN We will remain here until the 14th. From Crossville, we will travel to Farmington, MO. We will be here for two weeks near St. Louis. I’ve always wanted to spend some time in St. Louis, so this should be fun (if only I was really going!). We will be leaving Farmington on the 29th, headed to Branson, MO. We will be using our points to stay at a Wyndham property.<\/p>\n

I try to stay close to the mid-eastern states, and June finds me straying a bit out west. Maybe we’ll continue out that way through the fall? Already have reservations for fall through December, so I have to stay within driving range.<\/p>\n

I’ve also added a link to a PDF: Fulltime Timesharing – TestPlan v1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

June cost breakdown:<\/span>
\nLodging: $807
\nHotel: $125
\nRepositioning (mileage\/cost): 362 miles \/ $348.00<\/p>\n
