The chill is in the air and you've already caught yourself turning up the heat on the thermostat. Why not turn up the heat on your winter and visit Orlando? With gas prices being at a two year low from the record highs we all know, the time is perfect to load up the bunch and hit the road.

Hotel Guests Complain

2008-08-01T01:37:00.000-07:00

In a recent article on HotelMotel.com complaints about the stay at a hotel are on the rise. Like me, you have been a guest at a hotel and many times and found the room unprepared or dirty, or the personal heating/air conditioning unit unable to reach a comfortable temperature, etc... The list of goes on and on.

The majority of complaints about stays in hotels concern the professionalism, or lack there of, of the staff. A lot of the time the first impression made at check-in was when some guests reported being treated rudely. Thin walls and noise pollution were also major complaints made by guests in their 40's and up.

Go Green!!

2008-07-15T14:56:00.000-07:00

Green…Green….Green,
Seems like a great idea? Everyone seems to be getting the hang of the ECO-friendly trend. How does Orlando travel fit into the big picture? Everyone can contribute to a little part to save the earth. Just a contribution here and there can male a big difference on how the environment is affected. Here are some ways travel industry is taking on the green scene.

Vacationers can help by choosing eco friendly cars from a car rental company that provides hybrids. Think small. Do you really need the luxurious 8 passenger SUV when there is really only 4 in your party?

If you plan to fly as your mean of transportation to your destination consider packing light. The more belongings you bring, the more fuel a plane uses to transport you and your luggage.

There are many companies that offer services where you don’t have to drive and save help the earth with carbon tracing. USA Vacation Homes & Spa offers in home Spa treatments and a chef of your own so you don’t have to go out and eat.

Find activities that help nature. Orlando has many attractions and places to visit that have taken the green turn such as Universal Studios who has recently announced that they will be going green. Many Disney Hotels such as Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge have already received a Green score (how one contributes to helping the environment). Visiting natural parks and other nature reserves are great to visit especially since Florida wildlife is perfect and it is also a good look at what we might lose if we don’t start to make change when we go home or when you travel.

Airline Travel Made Easier

2008-06-23T13:26:00.000-07:00

Traveling these days, especially when flying, is a lot different from just a couple of years ago. There is some good news that will help ease the stress that sometimes accompanies airline travel. The Department of Homeland Security unveiled measures aimed at easing the aggravation associated with air travel, including new screening machines, clearer standards for identification, so Grandma is less likely to confused for a terrorist in this year's trip to Orlando.

Michael Chertoff, the Homeland Security secretary, said the measures aim "to take security to a new level, but also to take convenience to a new level, to eliminate some of the persistent irritations that are a constant source of complaint."

Where new "millimeter wave" scanners are part of a system the department calls Checkpoint Evolution.

"Another thing the checkpoint uses is whole-body imaging. ... This technology allows us to detect any item concealed in a person's body," Chertoff said.

The scanners clearly reveal all the contours of a person's body through clothing. This is the most controversial tools of the three because an image of the semi-nude bodies is visible to complete strangers, but the TSA and Department of Homeland security both believe that having the security personnel, faces scrambled, and images in another room circumvents the concern.

The department also announced standard criteria for accepting passenger identification: "Beginning May 26, 2008, federal or state-issued photo ID will be accepted if it contains: name, date of birth, gender, expiration date and a tamper-resistant feature."

There also new steps in place to solve the problem of someone having the same name as those on the "watchlist"

Now that you've learned that it is even easier to getaway from it all, now is the time to book that flight and come on down to Florida!

2008-04-22T08:19:00.000-07:00

Too often the vacations we plan for months don't turn out to be as relaxing as we had hoped. There is a new trend emerging where Americans are taking back their vacations from the stresses that inevitably come along with them. Enter the Relaxing Vacation!

Buying the plane tickets is just the beginning to the trip you've dreamed of for so long. Herding through the lines at the airport, through the numerous security check points, hours before your flight; only to have your flight delayed or canceled is an all too common occurrence these days. There are several other stressful things about traveling that can almost ruin your vacation, and this is why the vacation with a little Namaste incorporated is becoming more poplular.

The Relaxation Vacation is the new way to ensure that the things that challenge the quality of your vacation, don't ruin your vacation. All around the U.S. families are including golf excursions and facials into their vacations. Now you can receive a deep tissue massage after soaking up the sun all day. Couples can enjoy each these soothing and pampered offerings together, building an even stronger bond between the two.

With a Relaxation Vacation the sights and sounds of daily life are drowned away in the indulgence that comes with Spa therapies. There is no guilt involved with giving yourself the gift of a Relaxation Vacation and a little relaxation these days goes a long way!

Hmmmmmm... I wonder if Orlando has anything going on during Halloween? OF COURSE IT DOES!!! There is something "Not-So-Scary" for the family and something truly bone-chilling for those of us that like a really good scare!

Disney's Not-So-Scary Halloween is something that you can get a safe scare and steer clear of nightmares at the same time. This attraction was designed for young and young at heat by Disney Imagineers. Visitors are encouraged to even wear costumes, just be sure to have costumes that don't obstruct vision or breathing and that can not construed as offensive.

Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights is something that will truly have you using you night light after visiting! This years version of Halloween Horror Nights has the most evil trio known to man: Freddy Kruger, Mike Meyers (Leather Face), and Jason!!! Again this experience is not for everyone and maybe too intense for young children and costumes are not welcome.

Go from a haunted house to your very own vacation home rental in a short drive from either theme park. While you're why not stay in a great vacation home at an unscary rate? We'll check under the beds and in the closets for you too.

Orlando vs. Las Vegas

2007-08-29T19:24:00.000-07:00

Now-a-days many families, when planning a vacation, have many exciting destinations in mind. The top two choices seem to be Orlando, Fl and Las Vegas, NV. We thought we'd help you make this difficult decision by doing a comparison between these two great cities.

RESTAURANTS:
The selections from each city are immense, from foreign to classic American, spicy to tame. The difference maybe in what you pay. Las Vegas' restaurants earning as much revenue as the casinos, the bill at the end of the meal can be a little hard to swallow. Dinner prices have risen sharply in Las Vegas while the meal prices in Orlando have remained constant.

Flights:
Both Orlando and Las Vegas have deals to fly in and out. The only difference is that it is usually easier to find deals to Orlando, because of the many airlines that fly into Orlando in the two major airports, including discount airlines such as Frontier.

Lodging:
Conventions in both cities keep the hotel space at a minimum. Skip all of the Hotel Headaches and consider the alternative. In Orlando you can find the best in lodging anywhere with a vacation rental home with us.

Dan Schlossberg Interviews USA Vacation Homes

2007-07-31T20:54:00.001-07:00

Hundreds of thousands of loyal listeners tuned in to hear of Dan Schlossberg's stay in a vacation home offered by USA Vacation Homes. If you had any doubt that enjoying a quality Orlando vacation rental home from USA Vacation Homes was not the best way to vacation, those doubts were erased after the glowing review from one of the most respected voices in the travel industry: Dan Schlossberg, a travel editor for ConsumerAffairs.com.

Dan Says:

I thoroughly enjoyed two separate stays in houses provided by USA Vacation Homes, once in December and once in May. No hotel room could possibly equal the ambiance of these homes-away-from-home. They were clean and quiet -- elements that are hard to find in the Disney World area -- and had their own private, screened-in pools. Both homes had large kitchens and more than ample sleeping accommodations featuring walk-in closets. In addition, the staff of USA Vacation Homes proved extremely helpful in providing maps, discounted tickets to nearby attractions, and even private time on the office computer to check e.mail messages. An Flamand, owner of the company, was pleasant, personable, and highly polished during a live radio interview I sent back to my 500,000+ listeners in southeastern Connecticut. Although she is a native of Belgium, where French is the primary tongue, An speaks perfect English and is a fine front person for her firm.

The best thing about USA Vacation Homes is that staying there provides far more bang for the buck than staying in a hotel. If space and quiet are of paramount importance, as they are to me, I strongly recommend this company. And space and quiet are hard to find in Orlando.

Golf Vacations

2007-07-16T08:02:00.001-07:00
