[quote=Anonymous]Our family owns a timeshare in a point system, so we can pretty much go anywhere in the world.  We’ve had it for about 10 years (bought in our late 30’s) and have been all over the mainland US, Hawaii, Aruba, Canary Islands, Europe.  There are 4 locations within a 2-3 hour drive of DC which is great for long weekends, etc.  I actually hate staying in hotels now when we can stay in 2 and 3 bedroom condos with resort amenities at most places for a lot less than a single hotel room.  We bought ours outright on the resale market, so limited initial investment.  The yearly maintenance fees are manageable (less than $2k a year) but we get 6-8 weeks vacation a year with that depending on where we go. We split it with another family member who uses 3-4 weeks worth.

My suggestion is to give it a try once and see if you like it.  You don’t have to go ever year and maybe this timeshare has good trading value in RCI (to other time share properties) or is a point system where your relatives can reserve at a different place each year.  Honestly, it sounds like the timeshare is not the issue, you just don’t like vacationing with the in-laws.
