I HAVE 5 TIMESHARES WITH THEM, 3/ARUBA AND 2/SABAL PALM WHICH I TRADE ONCE I ATTAIN WEEKS #51 AND #52. I RENT FOUR OF WEEKS AND USE THE FIFTH, WHILE GETTING TWICE MY MAINTENAVE FEES IN RENT. AM BUYING ANOTHER ARUBA TIMESHARE AT THE PRICES THAT MARRIOTT WANTS TO BUY THEM FOR, WHICH IS 40% LESS THEN WHAT I PAID FOR MY 3 IN ARUBA. WHY NOT? I CAN RENT THEM AND MAKE MONEY. WHO NEEDS MARRIOTT POINTS!!! JIM
