We've been staying for 17 days for the last few years now and wanted to try for 3 weeks, too, but....my work didn't like that idea either! LOL! Plus I need to save some vacation days for other trips throughout the year.

Hooked the very first year! Addicted since!

Hooked since 1995....never want to go anywhere else!

Our first trip was in 2008, left on our 6 month wedding anniversary. Best 2 weeks ever! I couldn't imagine staying less than 2 weeks.
Our 2nd trip was this past March for another 2 weeks and we looked into buying a time share.
Our 3rd trip will be in March 2012 (not soon enough!) and I'll be surprised if we don't come home having bought a time share.

Went on our honeymoon in 1976 (had never even heard of it before the travel agent told us about it). Flights for both of us and one week at the Aruba Caribbean (now the Radisson) was $1400. Busy raising three boys, didn't get back until our 25th wedding anniversary in 2001. Did some research, figured out the hotel was now the Radisson, took a chance on it (no bulletin boards or reviews anywhere back then) and have been going back every year since (last year twice). We lucked out in taking that chance, because we think the Radisson is the best on the island.
