Do you remember the line from Clark Griswold in National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" movie? Clark, in frustration utters to his wife Ellen, "Worse? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen. We're at the threshold of hell." Does that movie remind you of your last family Christmas vacation?
Maybe it is time that you try something unique, different and fun. Try something new, exciting, and romantic. Have some fun in the sun. Vacation at a clothing optional resort this holiday season.
"But, I'm not a nudist," you are thinking. No problem! More and more, nudist resorts have gone mainstream. You will want to go where the weather is warm meaning Miami or sunny Palm Springs, CA.
At the best clothing optional resorts, guests don't even think of themselves as nudists. They just love the European style nude sunbathing. They don't even charge memberships like the old style nudist colonies did.
People's lives are hectic. They are full of stress. They desperately need to relax. That is why nudist resorts are perfect. They are an oasis of calm in the sea of holiday uproar. The best ones cater to couples, so they don't have noisy children running around. You can relax poolside all day long and not get disturbed. A present of a vacation at a clothing optional resort is the perfect gift for any happy couple.
In a recent poll by American Express Travel, they found "holiday travel has evolved considerably from the local family gathering to new, exciting adventures as travelers seize the opportunity to create lasting holiday memories. Not only are travelers looking to indulge in new travel experiences, they are also treating themselves to an extra special holiday season this year with 76% of agents reporting that travelers are booking more luxury vacations this season than ever before." Nudist resorts fit this bill perfectly.
With 18% of Christmas travelers being couples, clothing optional resorts are perfectly situated to provide these new adventurous travelers with their best vacation ever. If you are looking for a new fun way to vacation and create your own romantic, fun holiday memories, give a clothing optional resort a call. You will be glad that you did!

In 2004, I completed two Inuit art buying trips to Iqaluit
(formerly Frobisher Bay), the capital of Nunavut, Canada's newest
territory. For both trips, I flew out of Ottawa on Canadian North
airlines. The other airline that services Nunavut is First Air.
Only the last half of the jets was allocated for passengers as
the entire first half was for cargo. Being so remote, Canadian
Arctic Inuit communities pretty well have to have everything
shipped up there by plane or by boat during the summers since
there are no roads connecting to the rest of Canada or even
between each Nunavut community. The Arctic landscape from the air
was desolate,

One of the ports of call for our Royal Caribbean cruise ship during the week of November 28/04 was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Probably the most famous site in the region is Dunn's River Falls and we chose to tour it on our own rather than through one of the cruise ship tours.
Once we disembarked from the cruise ship, there
were cabs and shuttle buses available at the pier. Cabs to Dunn's
River Falls were $22 US for a return trip. Cabs allowed 1-3
people per vehicle. We were also told at the pier that small
shuttle buses also go to the Falls at $5.50 US per person.

Are you looking for a vacation rental with a real difference? Are you tired of the banal and normal? Why not literally turn the clock back in time and stay in a real Irish thatched cottage. Experience a slower pace of life on the North West coast of Ireland in County Donegal.
Located right on the Atlantic Ocean, Cruit Island is defiantly a destination with a difference. Joined from the mainland by a bridge this small secluded location offers an abundance of outdoor activities for the more adventurous traveller. Experience how Robinson Crusoe felt whilst walking on the numerous deserted beaches

Ooops. Oh those engineers. When they reconstructed the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin, Texas in 1980, they inadvertently created a unique ECO-TOURISM DESTINATION, and an experience not available many places in the world. The bridge was evidently the perfect roosting place for bats and now houses the largest urban bat colony in North America. Yes, not only does Texas have the Alamo, it's very batty! The largest bat colony in the world is also near San Antonio (about 60 miles from Austin).
Who knew?
A huge colony roosts under this bridge in downtown Austin, and when they egress of a summer night

California, the State. San Francisco, the city. Monterey, the town. John Steinbeck, the author. For this Steinbeck fan, San Francisco is quite close to heaven. From San Francisco it is an easy drive down the peninsula to Santa Cruz and into Steinbeck territory.
I fly into San Francisco airport late in the afternoon. The signs are
immediate America. 'No Ped Xing', 'Squeeze right', 'Occupation by more
than 132 persons unlawful'. From Rent-a-Wreck I collect a Chevrolet in
two tones -- cat-sick green and vile yellow. A veritable pimpmobile.
And was it not in a car like this I drove into San Francisco for the
1967 Summer of Love, to
