If you travel a lot, a timeshare resale might be able to help you save you some money on your hotel costs. If you choose to purchase and want to sell later, make sure to get a timeshare worth estimate online. A Wyndham timeshare value will likely net you a few hundred.
Whenever I want to take a break from traveling I love to stay home, in front of a fire place and read FisherPants magazine.
