<\/a>Summer, the “official” vacation season, is now behind us, and on its tail comes some woeful statistics for Americans – over Two-Thirds of us did not take a vacation. So, it’s time to change that. Rent a timeshare<\/a> and plan a fall vacation, a winter vacation, or a spring vacation – any time and any where, but plan your vacation now!<\/p>\n

USA Today just published a study commissioned by Westin Hotels & Resorts. After polling 1,500 employed professionals, Studylogic found these dismal statistics: 64% canceled vacations this year, 1\/3 canceled vacations for work-related reasons, 25% check into work hourly while on vacation, via email and the phone. USA Today put this to a test with a survey of its own, and its online poll found that 51% of respondents did not travel this summer.<\/p>\n

Americans seem proud that they are “workaholics” compared to just about every other industrial country in the world, many of which mandate workers’ vacations By Law. But truly, being a martyr to your job is not a healthy way to live.<\/p>\n

In fact, Studylogic’s survey also found that 67% feel better on vacation and 64% sleep better when they’re not working. It’s well known that having some down time, along with relaxation and fun, actually helps productivity. That is a fact and timeshare owners know it well.<\/p>\n

So get smart – balance your work life with recreation and rest. Don’t even know how to get started? Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n

Autumn leaves will soon be in their glory, and you can take a fall vacation by renting a timeshare at Smuggler’s Notch Resort<\/a> near Stowe, Vermont. This top rated family resort has timeshare rentals that start at just $107\/night.<\/p>\n

Think out of the box – how about taking your family on a sun splashed Caribbean Thanksgiving vacation? The ESJ Towers<\/a> resort in San Juan, Puerto Rico (no passport required), has a Thanksgiving timeshare rental available for just $71\/night. Or head to Hawaii for Christmas – you can hang your stocking at a Ka’anapali Beach Club<\/a> timeshare rental(see photo) on Maui for just $82\/night.<\/p>\n

Did you love to ski as a kid, but it’s been years since you gave yourself that exhilarating feeling of swooping down a slope in high, thin mountain air? Rent a Park City timeshare<\/a> for a great winter vacation in Utah. Marriott’s Mountainside<\/a> at Park City has timeshare rentals starting at just $125\/night.<\/p>\n

You can take a deep breath of sweet spring air among colorful wildflowers covering the Ozarks with a Marriott’s Willow Ridge Lodge<\/a> timeshare rental in Branson, MO, for just $71\/night.<\/p>\n
