Time To Turn Back the Clocks and Turn Up the HEAT

This November 2nd Americans are reminded to turn back the clocks for Daylight Savings Day. You remember the old addage;'Fall back an hour in Autumn on the clock and spring ahead in the Spring.' So enjoy your extra hour of sleep and dream about a trip down to Florida.

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.

Break out the sandals, shades, and shorts and smell the fresh Florida air. This time of year is perfect in Central Florida where a gentle breeze blows and the temperature is comfortably warm. Visiting the theme parks in weather like this is a good way to get away from it all and enjoy yourself.

The specials offered for lodging your family or group are bound for deals like none other for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

For the young at heart

Senior citizens looking to come to Florida to get away for the winter months should take advantage of beautiful weather and should start to make plans for reserving a vacation home in Sunny Orlando. For those harsh winter months Orlando can offer great activities such as Golf, fishing, boat rides and other great activities.

Avid gold lovers can enjoy great golf courses in the Orlando area such as Reunion golf resort , Mystic Dunes, Falcons Fire and many others. This is a great way to enjoy the beautiful outdoors in Florida.

Many of us enjoy do not take advantage of experiencing the great outdoors when we visit other states. Fishing is one of the many ways one can experience nature at its best. For a great adventure check out Native Sons Fishing Guides perfect for first time fishers or anyone who would love to experience Florida fishing.

When you arrive to Florida you can just see the amazing bodies of water that surround Orlando and other cities. Orlando offers many opportunities for visitors to enjoy sight seeing of the rivers, lakes and all types of swampy water. The Other Orlando will offer many choices for you to choose from.
During the fall and winter months the climate is sunny and dry. October, November and December are perfect times where all new fall activities are underway. Don’t let Jack Frost catch you before you can make plans to come to Orlando! Fall and winter is a perfect time for the snowbirds to enjoy outdoor activities in Sunny Florida!

Hotel Guests Complain

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!!

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.
