That's right, BILLION! In 2007 there were more fixed and floating weeks sold than points. This puts to rest the scam of sales reps stating that within a certain amount of time points will be the only product developers will sell. That is simply not true and not supported by any statistics. The average price in $2007 for a week was $19,247. Remember that was in 2007. This price was on average 14 percent higher than in 2006. In 2008 the average price for a timeshare in the United States was $20,152, an increase of over $900.00. In 2008 sold $9.7 billion, an increase of over $3 billion in one year. The majority of timeshares are in the state of Florida and on or in close proximity to a beach.

What does all this mean? Well, it tells you that timeshares are a popular thing in our culture. It tells you that sales are increasing and because of that, prices are increasing as well. Does this say that timeshares are a bad thing? Not at all. this tells you that anything that has value like this is going to have a huge sales campaign and strategy to get the consumers to the product and hungry for the product. Now that we have all the statistics, let's get to the meat of this blog article.

What are the reasons that one might consider canceling their timeshare? Here is a simple list of 10 items that if happened, you should investigate canceling the deal.

1. A very long and aggressive sales presentation. Timeshare presentations/tours are supposed to last anywhere from 60 - 90 minutes before the people touring can get their gifts that were promised to them. During this process the sales representative is supposed to build rapport, gather information, and create desire for the customer. They will take you to the models, and ask questions about how you vacation and what you are currently spending. This process should last approximately 45 minutes, which will give them time to show you two options based on how you travel and what you spend. Once that is done and you "puke" at the cost, they will bring in their manager to attempt to get a better deal. You know the one that they bent over backwards for and that is so low that you can never return to get again. I have heard of timeshare tours lasting as long as 10 to 12 hours. That is not a tour, that is being held hostage. If you told them no several times and were there over 4 hours, you might want to really look further into what you have done.

2. If you took a timeshare tour and did not get the gifts that were promised to you, that is completely against every states timeshare regulations and you need to really consider canceling the deal. Any timeshare company that would do business on the front end like this is not a credible company. Just the same as starting a relationship off on a lie. The normal person would not stand for that, and it is a reason to really believe that this is just the start of more bad things to come.

3. If at any time the sales representative starts discussing timeshare ownership would be an investment, they are crossing an ethical line. If this has happened to you, this is a huge red flag and is totally illegal in the US, Canada, and Mexico. This goes against the Federal Trade Commission's regulations concerning timeshare sales.

4. If you were promised to make a certain amount of money off of rental, your sales rep has crossed the ethical line. They can tell you that you can rent your timeshare out, but they cannot tell you that you can make a certain amount and they should not tell you that they can show you secrets to do this. This is probably the number one breech in ethics that we see. If this has happened to you, get advice.

5. If you were told that you can write trips off on your taxes, or owning will give you a tax break, get assistance. This is completely illegal and timeshare sales reps know that they are not allowed to provide any tax advice. They are allowed to say that you need to seek advice from a tax professional.

6. If you were never told that you have a right under state law to cancel your timeshare and what the cancellation period is, you want to seek advice. This is the consumers right and has to be given.

7. If you were told that because of a certain reason, no matter what the reason is, that you cannot cancel and all sales are final, get advice. Again, you have a right to cancel within the states cancellation period.

8. If you were told not to read the documents and to just sign them and read them later, that is a red flag. Any credible timeshare closing agent will want to take the extra 30 minutes and ensure that you completely understand what you are signing and what your rights are. If you did not get this, seek advice.

9. If you were told that you will never have to pay maintenance fees because of their referral program, or that maintenance fees will never go up, get advice. Many timeshare sales reps will short cut and state this instead of taking the time to explain how maintenance fees work and why they are needed. If you were told this, you might want to investigate.

10. If you were told that you will never have to pay exchange fees, and that you can exchange anywhere without any constraints, seek advice. This is another tactic that the weak sales rep will take instead of taking the time to explain how the exchange program works. You have some places because of location and size that are very difficult to get to and can take up to 2 years in advance to make the reservation.

This is not an all inclusive list. There are other areas that sales reps use to get you to think that you are getting more than what you actually are, but these are the most common. If you have 3 or more and have purchased within the last year you need to contact a timeshare assistance company for advice.

Famous for being the only city in the world situated on two continents, Istanbul truly does bring together the East and the West. Around 70% of the population live of the European side, yet the city is well connected by highways and ferry routes to the Asian side. In fact, the commuter ferrying between both sides of Istanbul fortify the city in both business and tourism. The extensive land and sea routes connected through Istanbul create an economic centre for the country, along with international connections for foreign trade routes.

Istanbul has a long history dating back to the Copper Age where human settlements have dated back to around 6500BC. During its extensive history, Istanbul has been a capital city and centre of several empires including the Roman Empire, the East Roman Empire, the Latin Empire and most recently the Ottoman Empire. Only in 1923 with the forming of the Republic of Turkey was the capital city moved from Istanbul to Ankara.

The city was founded in 667BC as Byzantine, changing its name in 330AD to Constantinople, how it remained until becoming Istanbul with the forming of the Republic. Istanbul began to take on its modern form in the 1940s when many historical buildings were destroyed to create avenues, boulevards and public squares.

Re-creation of the city in the middle of the 20th century was insufficient to cope with the massive population growth experienced during the 70s and 80s. The construction of new factories presented strong employment opportunities leading to years of expansion, causing the city to more than triple in population.

The excessive population growth lead to fast and illegal construction to cope with the demand, with over 60% of the newly built housing being below standards. This high density of poor construction caused devastating consequences during the 1999 earthquake that affected the city. Construction following 1999 has been to high standards with precautions against future possible earthquakes, continuously striving to cater to the population growth of around 3.5% per annum.

Featuring a seemingly never ending list of attractions, Istanbul continues to draw visitors and migrants for holidays and relocation purposes. The extensive history and culture of the region blends effortlessly with the modern social and ethnic diversity of the city's inhabitants. Millions of visitors are attracted to the city on an annual basis from all corners of the globe, whether for its cultural, commercial or historical features.

The city is serviced by two international airports, the main one being on the European side and the smaller airport on the Asian side. Istanbul is also easily reached through its international highway, train and coach links, while its port is considered to be the most important in the country. Convenient travelling options are abundant in the city, with a subway, light rail, buses, trams and motorways. Recreational sailing from the many marinas of the city has long been an enjoyable sport for locals and visitors alike. While the city is surrounded by seas, beach style resorts are not a part of the Istanbul lifestyle, with resort towns predominantly along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastline.

Attractions of visiting Istanbul's city lifestyle include cultural features such as historical mosques, palaces and castles, along with varied festivals, concerts, galleries, museums and shopping. Sporting events are catered for with golf, sailing, and football amongst many others.

Istanbul features the largest concentration of golf courses currently in Turkey. New golf courses are currently being constructed along the touristic areas of the Aegean coastal resort towns, yet Istanbul continues to lead the golfing sector with three of the country's most important clubs. Opened in 1895, the Istanbul Golf Club is the oldest in the country and one of the oldest in all of Europe. The Klassis Golf and Country Club is a renowned exclusive club holding several international tournaments. The Kemer Golf and Country Club is built to USGC standards and considered to be the most impressive club in the whole country.

As Istanbul's climate can vary remarkably, visiting the city in either summer or winter can provide dramatically different attractions. Affected by both the Black Sea to the north and the Mediterranean in the south, summers are humid with temperatures averaging around 28ºC, while the winters average around 5ºC with snowfall not uncommon.

Costa Rica's government is as stable as one could want (in Central America) and the Costa Rican people are simply "a cut above." Costa Rica is one of the oldest democracies in the Americas (its first election was held in 1889) and the oldest in Latin America. Its history and political system, contrast with those of neighbor nations. Costa Rica is a very happy nation due to a strong social network and an appreciation peope have for their gorgeous surroundings. Sure this country has problems too, drugs and prostituion but the government lately has done a lot to get a grip on it and overall it is not a major issue.

The gas stations really are full service, and you can have your oil checked, water filled, and tire pressure topped off.

Costa Rica is a country rich in sounds - a recordist's paradise! Wake up in the morning to a Howler Monkey's bellow, and eat lunch at a local Soda while the Olive-throated Parakeets squabble in the trees overhead, then retire to the serenade of the crickets and tree frogs in the bosque outside your window!

Costa Rica is the penultimate link in a chain of small nations that together comprise the isthmus of Central America.

Costa Rica is one of the most ecology-rich countries and even has an entire park dedicated to turtles. Costa Rica has a treasure trove of beaches, inviting tourists for water sports and even fishing, to a lazing sunbath on the beaches.

Each of these shopping locations and restaurants are brilliant, and won't let you down. I find shopping in Wolverhampton incredible, as there is pretty much everything at a reasonable price. Public transport around both shopping centres is also good.

The most important is obviously your transportation to your destination. If you're flying in to your destination, you'll want to make sure to book your flight in advance. Flights are usually cheapest a few months prior to your departure. If you're driving, you'll want to consider whether you need to rent a car or whether you will be taking your own vehicle but whatever you choose, you'll need to budget money for gas expenses.

When it comes to a vacation, one of the most important factors that determine whether or not you have a good time is where you stay. You'll likely be spending a lot of time at this location so you'll want to make sure it's comfortable and has all the accommodations you'll require. You may wonder whether a hotel or a hostel is the best option for you. A hostel can be a great inexpensive option if privacy is not a big issue for you. In a hostel you will most likely be sharing a room and a bathroom. However, if you prefer privacy, more complete accommodations, and don't mind spending the extra money, a hotel is more likely to suit you. Not every hotel is the same, however. Check for reviews of hotels in the area you will be staying and find the one that you think will suit your needs best.

Another important aspect to your great vacation is food. If you're going to be in an unfamiliar area, you may want to look at restaurant reviews or get advice from locals in the area who can point you to the best local easting establishments. This may not seem like a big deal but after a long day of sightseeing, the last think you'll want to do is have to search for a good place to eat.

Next, plan a few points of interest. Even if you're the kind of person that doesn't like to plan extensively and likes to leave things open for being spontaneous, you'll still want to plan a few points of interest to go and see or do. You don't have to plan them down to the very last detail, but you'll find that if you pick a few ideas and have them ready, you'll have a more enjoyable time, especially if something you planned on gets postponed or cancelled.

A great dream vacation isn't just a matter of location. A lot of it relies on you. If you take the time to plan out your vacation, you'll find that you can focus on enjoying your trip instead of stressing about the little details.
