Find Disney Vacation Homes Orlando

By Traci Witt

Holiday seasons are usually characterized by a certain atmosphere of joy, happiness and fun. It is usually during such periods that many folks organize retreats to fun destinations. Whilst making arrangements that usually characterize such holidays, the issue of accommodation is always bound to come up. Getting the most suitable accommodation for a family at a holiday spot is never as easy as it may seem. However, the following factors would greatly ease the task of finding Disney vacation homes Orlando accommodations.

An accommodation-seeker would usually get very good leads by browsing through the internet. Different rental agencies have websites advertising their services online. A thorough browsing session would usually open up a number of options that could be rather suitable for whatever holiday that is being planned. Armed with this information, a house-seeker would be sufficiently equipped to make a wise decision.

Online sources could provide a glimpse as to the exact condition of a specific property. Customer reviews and comments given through online sites would especially be the deal breaker for certain real estate. From such reviews, a house-seeker would be able to gauge the exact condition of a house, its maintenance and the benefits that could be accrued from hiring such a place.

While making a decision regarding the best holiday accommodation, it is also important to inquire upon other facilities offered as part of the holiday package. Amenities such as swimming pools, game rooms, Jacuzzis and entertainment centers would contribute much towards the holiday atmosphere. It is also important to gauge the proximity of, for example, car rental agencies that would greatly ease movement.

It would be truly frustrating to hire a holiday house that is miles away from tourist attractions. The main goal of renting such an accommodation is to allow the holiday-makers to visit holiday spots with ease. A rental premises that is far from such attractions would eventually suck out all the fun from the trip and should thus be avoided.

A budget can never be done away with in the midst of making such arrangements. It is important to go for properties that are within a price range that can be easily afforded. It would be pointless to go on a holiday that would only cause unnecessary financial strain. To avoid such unfortunate outcomes, a holiday house-seeker must avoid overly-luxurious residences that usually come with exaggerated prices.

After all the above factors have been carefully analyzed, a house-seeker should then proceed and make a reservation. Some proprietors have made it possible for clients to make online reservations and even payments on properties of interest. However, with such modes of payment, one should always be careful to avoid falling into the trap of fraudsters.

The tips outlined above would offer a sufficient basis for a search for Disney vacation homes Orlando accommodations. Taking the above into account would guarantee that the property a holiday maker ends up with is suitable and in good condition. Although other factors may at time influence such a venture, the above would form a pretty solid foundation.

Up Close to Cape Horn

By Jonny Blair

The magic of Cape Horn - this is basically the last part of planet earth as you head to the South Pole that you can realistically live on! Any further south and it's just too cold to live. Michael Palin once managed to step foot here on a BBC Documentary a few years back and now it was time to make the trip to Cape Horn.[]

Cape Horn is in Tierra del Fuego. A series of islands owned jointly by Argentina and Chile, however Cape Horn is on the Chilean side. What a great name - Cape Horn - it just sounds inspiring and makes you want to see it. That was the plan and we were on our way!

it's expensive to visit the Cape of Horn. For some reason Michael Palin didn't pay for it - it would all have been covered by a generous BBC budget for the purpose of filming. My trip was on a much lower budget and I managed to backpack my way to Antarctica - the trip to visit the Horn, even just to see it on the way back was such a bonus. However the Chilean marine authorities don't let ships close to it - they issue a proximity maximum of around 12 - 13 miles except in special circumstances.

We left Argentina behind for Antarctica sailing on the MS Expedition which was built up in Denmakr, had been registered in Africa at Liberia and was now making these regular trips down to the white continent. Everyone on the ship was asleep (except the crew) the night we headed south on the dreaded Drake Passage, so getting up close to Cape Horn wasn't happening - we were much too far east for that anyway and we had one intention - arriving in Antarctica[]

There were rumours circulating on board the ship that we would be calling at Cape Horn on the way back up to Argentina. This all began by the crew showing us an intriguing documentary about Cape Horn as we headed back onto the Drake Passage, however nothing was confirmed.

But it became obvious that the plan was to change direction so we could catch a glimpse of the horn. I noticed that we were making fast progress (there was a live map on board the boat near the reception, where we could all see where we had been and where we were going) and in fact had suddenly changed direction to head north west rather than directly north, following our departure from Elephant Island.

On the evening of our final ascent up the Drake Passage the visit to view Cape Horn was finally confirmed by the crew amid a joyous response. We were told at the recap of the day and the briefing session that we would indeed be sailing close to Cape Horn for a view at 5am the next morning.

So we were all set to see Cape Horn in the flesh and get up close to it but this was also the final night on board our ship. This meant a late one in the bar up toasting to our amazing trip and watching the sunset on one side and rise on the other side of the boat almost simultaneously at 2 am. By 3am I was asleep and ready to be wakened up for the viewing of the magical Cape Horn.

After 2 hours sleep the alarms went off and I was up waiting to see Cape Horn, we assembled on deck and it was by around 6.30 am that we finally got close to Cape Horn - an incredibly exciting moment for all concerned!

Finally just before 7 am we had the announcement that we were on our approach to Cape Horn. We were also informed that the Captain had been in touch with the Chilean authorities and that we were able to breach the normal barrier of 12 - 13 miles within the Cape.

It was straight upstairs to the For'd Deck for the fantastic morning view of the fabulous Cabo De Hornos. In the end we got within 3 miles of Cape Horn! It wasn't even a dream. I saw Cape Horn for real. Totally immense. Been there, done that, didn't stand on the land there.
