Yes, I am a workaholic and my wife is sick and tired of not having routine yearly vacations, or, well, any vacations at all. After being married almost 10 years and not taking my wife on a nice vacation had her very frustrated and that along with my work habits were pushing her towards finding a new husband. I knew I had to make a commitment and a change before I lost her. I made a vow to her that I would make a commitment of change and to start the ball rolling I would schedule at least one luxury vacation per year for us to get away.

As I looked for vacation destinations and resort packages through our local travel agency I realized that unless I made some serious life changes this quest and commitment I promised my wife wasn't going to be financially possible unless we stayed at the motel 6 in an exotic location. After exploring other options for a week or so my research led me to start looking into timeshares to cut some dollars from our yearly vacation expense. It would be an upfront cost of about 13K but save a bundle in the long run. After a little more research and my wallet clenched tightly I realized that we would be dramatically limited to the weeks we could book, the yearly upkeep and maintenance fees were almost a thousand bucks and we wouldn't have a huge potential to stay at different locations from year to year.

I was discouraged to say the least but gave it one more search on the net. I happened to stumble across a website called resortbomb.com. I was very intrigued, this was a luxury resort membership with resorts and 5 star hotels to book from all around the world at the same cost to members as a cheap hotel (about 3-500 bucks a week) for a one time, lifetime membership cost of only 3K (you can even will this thing to your kids). I was a bit leery at first but then after reading through all of the information realized that they have been doing credible business since 1986. When I contacted the representative he was also very helpful and supplied the answers to all of my questions. My wife and I immediately put our membership to work and booked a solid 8 days of luxury in beautiful Puerto Vallarta for less than 600 bucks ?Yes, that's for the whole 8 days!?. All I can say is amazing.

We are already planning our next trip to Cancun for 09? and my wife has never been happier. We may even take advantage of one of their ?Hot Weeks? in between our yearly vacation. These are usually less than 295 bucks for the week, the only down fall is that you have limited choice of the destination, but for that weekly cost ?who cares?. I am also thoroughly enjoying the golf discounts that come along with it.

Just when I thought my luck couldn't get any better and you probably thought this story couldn't get any better something exceptional happened. I was talking with some of our friends about this thing and they decided they wanted to check it out for themselves, you know how it works ?The keeping up with the Jones's thing?. I had them visit the same site (www.resortbomb.com) and get with the same agent. The following week I got a call from Ed (the resort bomb guy) and he was calling to thank me for the referrals. I just appreciated the call and let him know that with an awesome product like that and the unsurpassed service I would be talking to many others about it as well. He said great but I also called to teach you a little more about your membership. He said, O.K, here's the deal. When you purchase a platinum lifetime membership that gives you the distribution capability to sell these packages for 500 to 1000 bucks commission a piece and you can sell as many as you want! I had already sent three people in three people in that bought these things and nearly paid for my membership and didn't even know it. Sure enough the fed ex guy delivered me a fat check the very next week. Sweet!

That's it; I just wanted to let you know the unlucky guy gets a break once in a while! Happy vacationing and good luck on your travels.
