...shareowners, a time-sharing vacation can offer the advantages of a vacation home without the large initial investment or steady upkeep. At the Playboy resort, for example, Larry Leven, a $35,000-a-year Chicago insurance executive, and his family recently spent a week in a condominium that normally costs $135 a day.
