AsiaTraveler - so far I've been looking at kayak/orbitz and then to individual websites based on what I see on there. I appreciate the booking tips!
You're welcome. I don't remember if I tried using Kayak, but Orbitz et al definitely did not have a wide selection when I looked there 3-4 years ago, esp. outside city centers.
You mentioned in your original post that you are thinking of using a timeshare/condo for a week at a time? I hear you on the all you can eat buffet part, so I'm wondering if you're talking about using points/weeks/whatever to get a timeshare (or if that was a more general statement about having a home base apartment that you pay for)? If you're trading points/weeks/whatever for an actual timeshare, that is where I'd start- look into the availability, both in terms of locations & timing. If there's one or two places you know you want to go, get those locked in and then fill in the gaps accordingly.
