Okay... I considered a Time Share, but then I learned about Starwood Vacations... It's kind of like a Time Share as well, but you can go anywhere in the world where they have property... As well as using hotel points to stay at hotels involved in the program... So just because there isn't a Villa somewhere you want to go, doesn't mean you can't go there, because there is most likely a hotel that accepts the program... It takes a big chunk out of having to pay for hotels for however long...
