Got Luggage?

I just came back from a trip to Chicago. I did not see Oprah. While on my trip, there was one good thing I noticed. I had nice luggage. A while back, I had decided to get some Samsonite luggage that actually matched and looked like I was well put together. I found a great deal at luggagebase.com and decided to get the whole set that matched. The set I bought was a great deal and it all matches and has wheels and the middle-sized piece is easy to carry on and place in the overhead bin of an airplane. I don’t know why, but I like to have things that match so this was a good purchase for me. In addition, I have taken this luggage on several trips and despite the treatment from a variety of luggage handlers, it still looks great. I forgot to mention that these bags have many little zippers and other places to store things, which I really use. I admit that I sometimes forget where I put this or that, but it is nice to have these little compartments for your items – underware in one, makeup in another, paperwork somewhere else, etc. I think nice luggage is a good investmenat and just as we are approaching graduation season – a GREAT gift idea.

Vacation Planning Anyone?

Are you ready for a trip? Is it time for a vacation? Heading to Orlando and don’t know where to stay? Well…

Think about Westgate. Westgate has a large number of resort hotels in Florida, Utah, Tennessee, Virginia, Missouri, and South Carolina that you might want to take a look at. Don’t know much about Westgate Resorts? Well, here’s the skinny.

Westgate Resorts is the third-largest timeshare company in the world with net sales growing at an average of 20% annually over the last decade, far exceeding the industry average. Approximately 7,000 villas are being developed by Westgate Resorts in Central Florida alone. The United States is the leader in vacation ownership with more than 1,200 resorts, which represent over two million owners.

Now, let’s get to some specifics about accomodations, shall we? The key to Westgate Resorts’ success is defined by their service philosophy:

“We fulfill our guests’ dreams by providing a quality vacation experience that exceeds all expectations.”

They claim that responding to the needs of middle-class families by providing an affordable luxury vacation with first-class accommodations is their goal and they want to help owners enjoy their investment by providing luxury villas that include such amenities as whirlpool tubs, large-screen TVs, leather furnishings, fully equipped kitchens, and screened-in patios or porches. I will take me some of that. To learn more about Westgate, call their toll free number: 1-877-288-7422 and see what they can do for you.

Leaving on a (charter) jet plane

I bet you didn’t know where to find a place to arrange for a  jet charter. Well, let me tell you about New Flight Charters. They offer the largest selection of private jets and aircraft charters around.

They also offer the flexibility to choose your specific aircraft and quote option to pay after the trip and they have an eye for good pricing too. There are no up front costs; no pre-payments required, membership fees, etc.

New Flight Charters also offer one-way pricing with floating one-way aircraft and empty legs when available and they also carry personal FAA Airmen Certification so you can rest assured about your craft and crew.  To further put your mind at ease, it’s good to know they have an accident-free history, with company core values of service and safety.

As soon as I have enough money to be able to charter an aircraft, I will certainly give New Flight Charters a call.
