The secret treasure of Davenport’s and Kissimmee’s townhouses.
Though usually Orlando is thought of as being a big city with bright lights and lots of hotels, Walt Disney World and Universal, and more tourists than you can count, most people don’t know about the secret treasure of Davenport’s and Kissimmee’s townhouses.
Away from the usual loud noises and big crowds are resorts clustered off the beaten path that is usually trod by tourists who want to experience the world of Orlando. Though these tourists certainly experience it’s many hotels, restaurants, and trinket shops, they fail to experience the relaxation for which Florida is so well known.
Getting caught up in the hype of a fast-paced mentality to see-all and do-all every moment of every day on vacation can be easy, especially when in an environment that supports it full force.
That’s why townhouses are the best choice when it comes to a vacation in Orlando. Not only do you steer clear of all the hype and hubbub of the tourist traps, you can enjoy Central Florida at your own pace, making your own decisions, and not giving in to anything being shoved down your throat.
It?s Time to Start Thinking about Mothers Day
December 31, 2007
Mother’s Day is approaching fast. This year it falls on Sunday, May 8th, so you still have time left to come up with the ideal gift for your Mom. And don’t forget that Mother’s Day is an ideal day to honor any woman in your life, not just your Mom. So don’t forget your wife, your grandmother, your daughter, your mother-in-law, your niece or even a favorite aunt. With a little thought and planning now, you can avoid rushing out to buy the usual flowers and candy that you give year after year. Buying the perfect gift does involve some thought, but it is precisely this thought that will make her realize just how much you love and appreciate her. So consider her likes and dislikes, her interests and her personality. Ask any mom and she will tell you that it is best to avoid “useful” items that relate to any form of housework. Before your start your shopping spree, think about how much your budget will allow and then make sure that you buy the best that you can afford. Stay away from mass produced items, and look for the more original high quality hand-crafted items. Do you want to give one gift or a selection of cheaper products and have them combined into a gift basket? Don’t forget that most stores, including online stores will be happy to gift wrap your gift for you, to save you the time and effort. Never a convenient time to go shopping? Online shopping makes it easy to buy the perfect Mother’s Day gift at the time most convenient for you ? even if that is 3 A.M and you are in your wearing your PJ’s. Most reputable online stores will allow you to order now, with a shipping date nearer to Mother’s Day, and they will not charge your credit card until the order is ready to ship. This will save you last minute stress and allow you the maximum choice of gifts. Shipping should be cheaper too, as you will not have to pay for expensive overnight shipping. Does your mom live far away? Then have the gift shipped directly to your mom, if you will not be able to deliver it yourself this Mother’s Day. So what should you give her this year? Does your mom work really hard all year round taking care of others, with little time to pamper herself? If so, a gift certificate for a pampering treatment at a local spa might be the answer. How about an exquisite piece of jewelry? This does not have to be as expensive as it sounds. You can buy her beautiful handcrafted jewelry, with a mix of semiprecious stones and high quality glass that should not break your budget. Or, let her know that she is the light of your life with a beautiful scented candle or oil lamp. These make a long lasting gift and their life can often be extended by reusing it by burning a tea-light inside the shell or by refilling the oil. Still not ready to give up on the flowers this Mother’s Day? Then how about a dried flower arrangement or wreath that will remind her all year round how much you love her.

On July 4th 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. On this day they formally declared that these colonies were free and independent states, not subject to the government of Great Britain.

Christmas Matters
December 28, 2007
Every year I vow to make Christmas easier, simpler - less stressful.
Have I ever? One year I tried forgetting Christmas here in the UK and spent it in the Canary Islands. It was quite extraordinary really. Christmas day was spent around the pool. The staff brought round ‘Christmas’ cake at various intervals (not the fruit stuff but madeira cake) and Santa Claus arrived on the beach by parachute. The hotel was full of people trying to get away from the stress of the season. All regretted leaving families but felt the need to just ‘get away’. The guy in the next room spent every Christmas away from his wife and family. His wife, children and grandchildren loved to do the whole British Christmas experience - he just wanted time to chill out and spent a good deal of his time alone. He didn’t feel this was extraordinary at all!
Keeping it Simple this Season
December 27, 2007
It’s back. The holiday season and all the challenges that come with it! This is the time when we are most tempted to overdo things - shopping, partying, spending.
This year?why not practice the art of simplicity and serenity? Begin a new tradition or fine tune an old one. Think ‘less is more’? quality over quantity.
Remember that this is a time to celebrate love, connection, tradition and new beginnings. Make this a holiday season to remember and cherish. Pay attention to what really matters this time of the year and always? your family and friends, your health and well-being, your connection to the divinity of a universal spirit who gave us a holiday season just so we could help ourselves to platefuls of joy and love.
Q. I love this idea! But how do I get started on creating a new tradition?
A. Make a list of your most deeply felt intentions for the season. A better relationship with family? A chance to enjoy a holiday without stress and conflict? The willingness to take in the generosity of others? Light a candle daily. Choose a sophisticated blend of freshly cut balsam, frankincense, spiced cranberry and orange reminiscent of the season or one that evokes a calm and meditative state ? a relaxing, soothing scent of peppermint, verbena and lavender. As you light the candle ask for the presence of mind to keep these intentions in mind during the season and all year long.
Townhouses ? Rooms for Rent for Every Family!
December 26, 2007
Rooms for rent! No, not the kind where you are staying in someone else’s home or are stuffed into the same living space as another family.
We are talking about a house of rooms for rent for cheap discount prices that you cannot pass up! It’s a townhouse, a house that has as many rooms as you want, ranging from one to four, and doesn’t include the spacious kitchen or living area which make this house a place perfect when vacationing in the city of Orlando.
There are many rooms for rent in these townhouses and a lot of room as well! But why is renting rooms better than just paying for a hotel room? Perfect question! The hotels of Orlando, Kissimmee, and Davenport (all areas that surround the Disney World parks) are crammed in next to each other on strips that include tourist trinket shops, fast food restaurants, and crowded food chains.
The traffic is heavy, the people come in crowds, and the prices are high. Not only that, hotels are not always guaranteed to be quiet, spacious, or even comfortable. These rooms to rent in the townhouses are not only brand new, they have as much space as you could want and are separated from every other house.

Why Should You Rent Town Houses Instead of Staying in a Hotel Room?
December 24, 2007
So you decided on Orlando Florida for your family vacation this year.
Before you decide where to stay think about what it is like in Orlando. It is usually very warm, even in the winter. Your kids are going to be exhausted from a long day of playing at the theme parks. Before you start searching the internet for a great deal think about what you really want for your family vacation.
Your typical hotel rooms has:
● Two beds side by side ● One very small bathroom ● A TV and possibly a chair or two ● Maybe a balcony
This may be fine for a business traveler or a single person. But do you really want to squeeze your family of four in to the tiniest space even for a vacation.
Just imagine, waiting to use the bathroom, crying and carrying on because they are thirsty or hungry, no where to site except your messed up bed. Here’s something even better, most parents don’t think about. Your bed is about 3 feet away from the kid’s bed. Forget Mom and Dad having alone time.
You need a town house rental.
