It’s not even Thanksgiving and believe it or not, it’s already time for those of you who want to take a timeshare Christmas Vacation in 2009 to get that request going. 

The timeshares having the most demand will be located in ski areas in Colorado like Telluride, Aspen, Vail or Beaver Creek.  Lake Tahoe and Whistler British Columbia will have far more requests than available weeks as well.

Warm beach areas like Hawaii, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and the Caribbean will be very high demand as well.

In a series of short articles I’ll give you some great insider trading secrets to help you get to where you want to go.

That’s all for now.  More tips in the next post.
