Lazy Sundays in Sunny Oregon

Yes, it's Sunday and it's sunny! Hopefully it will be warmer later on today, at least no rain and no snow! Several things also come to mind for those planning a vacation either alone, as a couple or family, get a like-minded group of friends together too (wine, reading or cooking enthusiasts) as Castles and Villas are great, or planning a destination wedding or a honeymoon to somewhere other than the Coast! (Check out the Super Inclusives as well.) (While it's a great place to go...do you really want that trip to be how you remember your Honeymoon... somewhere you go often enough anyhow? This thought pertains to anywhere anyone lives...whether it's the flats of Pennsylvania and you always zip off to the shore or the Poconos - be different. Or anywhere, you get the idea). Don't forget the idea of Dude Ranches - for all types of vacations, even honeymoons or weddings! They will let you get "out of your usual comfort zone" for a week, the hot tubs and pools help with the muscles after a day in the saddle!

I know many think that renting a cottage, castle, villa etc is out of the realm of possibility when it really isn't. Why would you want a room when you can have the Whole House, often with staff, a pool, close to magnificent towns and valleys to explore? Pick any country, if you don't see something you can always email for other ideas because there are many to choose from and not always on your screen.

Europe is coming back as the ratio of US Dollar to Euro or Sterling has changed once again. The airlines are reducing airfare for the summer, no less! Or choose off-season to get good rates and still enjoy foreign travel with nice weather.

For the SKIERS - ok, so some of you are still on the slopes (that still have snow) but most are almost out water-skiing. However, now is the time to get your place for the 09-10 skiing season.

If you are thinking of Christmas...you can always get your place now as we had many calls this last year for the popular places, that people thought they'd get in with no problem becaue of the economy (?) they learned that wasn't so. Reemember the installment plans? It's possible again.

Get our of your Normal spot, meet new people and gain a whole new network of friends, engage in new cultures, be an eco-tourist, visit museums even if you don't like to normally do that, you'd be surprised.

Use your airmiles to upgrade to Business or First Class and enjoy your trip, saving your money to spend on food and wine!

Have a great day - Dream a Little.
