Travel + Leisure Magazine recently tracked down the top-ten best hamburgers in the US; fortunately, you can plan your timeshare travel to enjoy them all.

Burger Joint in San Francisco took the honors for the numero uno best burger. Burger Joint is a 1950’s-style restaurant that boasts an old-fashion burger made from hormone- and pesticide-free beef.

Recommended San Francisco timeshare to accompany your Burger Joint hamburger is: Shell Vacation Club’s The Suites at Fishermans Wharf timeshare resales and rentals, where you are just a cable car ride away from Chinatown, Ghirardelli Square, The Cannery, and Pier 39.

Dyer’s Burger in Memphis took second place honors with their thin-patty burger, fried in oil in a cast-iron skillet. Once you order this burger, you might as well go all out and add Dyer’s famous chili cheese fries and a deep fried Twinkie for desert.

An ideal destination for a Memphis timeshare vacation is just 30 minutes away in Robinsville, Mississippi. The Westgate Tunica Resort, designed to look like an anti-bellum southern mansion, is centrally located for enjoying the hot jazz and cool blues of Memphis as well as the casinos, golf, and southern charm of Mississippi.

Duchamp’s Burger in Chicago is no greasy diner, yet this restaurant proves it still knows how to cook a burger, serving an eight-ounce ground chuck special on a Czech cottage-cheese-and-dill bun.

You may decide to day trip into the city for your Duchamp’s burger while spending your timeshare vacation in Silverleaf’s Fox River Resort timeshare, located a little over an hour away in Sheridan, Illinois. There you can choose between waterskiing, boating, hiking or picnicking in the peaceful rolling hills, or grab your sightseeing gear and head for Chicago, famous for its museums, shopping, and dining.

Planning a trip to New York any time soon? You may want to use your New York timeshare and schedule to be in NYC for the 2010 “Idiotarod.”

No, that is not a misspelling or major lapse in our understanding of geography. The New York City Idiotarod is not to be confused with the famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race©, during which, early each March, mushers seek to drive their team of dogs from Anchorage to Nome, arriving ahead of their competitors.

Instead, the appropriately named Idiotarod is a comical urban answer to dogsled racing. The Idiotarod involves teams of five humans pulling modified shopping carts through the city streets. None of the carts may be motorized, although the carts can be decorated, embellished, or taken apart and put back together in unique and unusual ways.

The original Idiotarod shopping cart race was held in 1994 in San Francisco, with Toronto, Phoenix, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and New York City all having served as event host cities in the past. While attending the Iditarod in Alaska is sure to be the adventure of a lifetime, being part (participant or spectator) of the 2010 Idiotarod should be tremendous fun as well. Plus, for this urban event, you won’t need to own a sled or trained team of sled dogs. Five friends and a shopping cart all your own (begged or borrowed) is all you need.

And at the end of a long shopping cart race day, there are few things you and your team will appreciate as much as the convenience and comfort of a Manhattan Club timeshare, New York timeshare resale or New York timeshare rental.

This year’s Idiotarod is scheduled for January 30, 2010.

The TimesLeader.com reported last week about some Luzerne County, Pennsylvania officials who were questioned when the word “timeshare” appeared on their government-issued debit card statements.

No, the officials explained, they were not taking timeshare resort holidays. Instead, they were simply spending the taxpayers’ dollars carefully by staying at the Manhattan Club timeshare when they were in New York City on official business.

The timeshare rental, according to the article, appeared as a charge of $208.44 per night (a government rate) and was deemed more affordable than other hotels in the area. According to the officials involved, the trips to New York City included meetings with New York City police personnel in order to learn improved crime-fighting techniques centering around a police records management system that Luzerne County is currently implementing.

The Manhattan Club timeshare was recommended to the Pennsylvania government officials because it offers affordable accommodations in New York City. The article also went on to point out that, some business travel of the county’s officials was paid for through money confiscated in criminal investigations and arrests.

Timeshare rental can be an incredibly affordable travel lodging solution, and it doesn’t matter if you are trying to save tax payer dollars or your own.

Here’s an interesting YouTube video, as unicyclists take to the city streets of Manhattan. Be sure you watch it all the way to the end when you will see a bold (and dangerous) way to travel the Long Island Expressway.

The Timeshare Owners Blog first updated you about Hilton’s plans for a new Manhattan timeshare in our September 25, 2006, blog. The Hilton Hotels Corporation describes this new timeshare property as Hilton’s first “purpose built” timeshare in Manhattan, meaning that it is being designed and built from the ground up to meet the needs and preferences of Manhattan-bound travelers and timeshare owners.

Although work was originally scheduled to commence in January of this year, the 28-floor Hilton Grand Vacations Club property is now finally under construction, with the official groundbreaking this past week, on June 28. When purchased directly from Hilton as new timeshares, timeshare units there will start at about $40,000 for a studio and go up to about $100,000 for a penthouse, per one-week timeshare interval. While Hilton Grand Vacations Club properties historically hold their value well, it would not be unreasonable to expect to be able to purchase a previously owned timeshare unit at this property for a lower price in the future.

If you are currently a member of Hilton Grand Vacations Club, you can look forward to perhaps exchanging for time at this new venue in early 2009. With its location on West 57 Street, between 7 Avenue and the Avenue of Americas, the new Hilton timeshare resort will be convenient to Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, and many of the most popular business and entertainment destinations in Manhattan.

If you are looking to buy or rent Manhattan timeshare resales NOW, the Manhattan Club and the Hilton Club New York are excellent choices for owning midtown luxury and convenience at a realistic price.

If you saw the April 18, 2007, Sell My Timeshare NOW Hot Property List, then you may recall that New York’s Manhattan Club ranked #5 on the list. One of the great urban timeshares in the world, it is no surprise that Manhattan Club timeshares are always in demand. In keeping with the fast pace of change in New York City, at any time you will find both people seeking to rent or buy Manhattan Club timeshares and people looking to sell the Manhattan Club timeshares they already own, or use it as rental property.

Many people don’t realize the Manhattan Club is a timeshare property; they just don’t think of elegant, urban venues that cater to business travelers as well as leisure travelers, as timeshare resorts. In fact, everything about an urban timeshare makes sense, from ensuring that you always have great accommodations during that tradeshow, convention, or exhibit you attend each year, to providing cost-stable lodging for vacation and holiday travel.
