If you are still in the planning stages of deciding where to go for your 2011 vacation this year, we’d like to share 3 big events that could help you decide. Whether you use a timeshare exchange or rental, you should consider these 3 destinations before you get your vacation plans locked in:
- Royal Wedding, London
The royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in April will draw visitors to London from all over the world, says Ann Mack, director of trendspotting at JWT. This is an opportunity to rent a timeshare in England or do a timeshare exchange. Also remember you can even stay in a Paris timeshare and still join the wedding festivities – Eurostar can get you to London in just over 2 hours. - 150th Year – Civil War Commemoration
2011 marks the 150th year of the start of the Civil War. “There will be a lot more reenactments, and the national parks will be doing more,” said Robert Reid, U.S. travel editor for Lonely Planet. Many timeshare rentals are available near most major Civil War attractions and memorials. See CivilWar.org for a list of events throughout the year. - September 11 Memorial, New York
And although it might be hard to believe, the 10th anniversary of 9/11 comes up in September 2011. “It will be huge, with the opening of the memorial there,” Reid predicts. The National September 11 Memorial consists of two sunken pools covering the footprints of the Twin Towers, into which the country’s largest manmade waterfalls flow. The edges of the pools are inscribed with the names of the 2,980 victims of the attacks. You can still find many timeshare rentals available in Manhattan, so make your plans now.
