Bailout Plan for the Vacation Deprived-While our politicians work on a bailout for Wall

NEWS RELEASE

Michael McFadden Co-Founder, The Society


Bailout Plan for the Vacation Deprived-While our politicians work on a bailout for Wall Street,The Society concentrates on those needing vacation assistance

LAKEWOOD, CO. (September 30, 2008) – With Wall Street awaiting a government bailout; The Society of Leisure Enthusiasts (http://www.thesociety.com/) comes to the rescue of the vacation deprived with the “Vacation Bailout Plan”. Developed by two Oxford graduates in conjunction with travel consultants from around the globe, The Society’s “Vacation Bailout Plan” is for those on Main Street.

The Vacation Bailout Plan is to literally save the “American Vacation” during this period of economic uncertainty. With the December holidays fast approaching and Spring Break within 120 days, The Society needed to act immediately to assist those who may be delaying vacation planning due to concerns of cost and value.

According to Michael McFadden, Co-Founder of The Society. “For the vast majority of the American public, value is the utmost priority when booking a vacation this year. At TheSociety.com, visitors to the site will find exceptional values concerning the finest vacation home rentals in the world”. Vacation homes, once considered the privileged domain of the rich and famous are now available to vacationers seeking value for their vacation dollars. Fact: The average 5-star luxury vacation home is less expensive than a mid-range hotel on a cost per person/per night basis.

“With an inventory of over 5,000 qualified properties,” added McFadden, “we can facilitate clients with inventory from intimate flats to sprawling homes, from beachfront to slopeside. Finally, family and friends have a one-stop resource for finding and reserving the finest vacation residences available throughout the world.”

The Society’s Vacation Bail Out Plan is much shorter than the 700+ pages presented on Capitol Hill, actually its just 5 lines:

Set a budget per person
I
nvite family and friends to join you (larger home, more people = better value)

Decide on Sun or Snow, or as we say “Sandcastles or Snowballs”

Submit vacation parameters to: www.TheSociety.com/matchmaker

Book before October 31, 2008, and The Society will pay up to $250 USD towards airline baggage fees (in-house luggage shipping is available) or gas, depending whether you fly or drive (promotional code: Bailout)

With an inventory in excess of 5,000 vacation homes around the world and access to an additional 20,000 properties, The Society will find the perfect home for your vacation. Each home has been reviewed by The Society’s Luxe Alliance to insure quality and value for their clients. Each vacation home rental offered by The Society is professionally supervised by on-site management.

Many homes include premier on location concierge services available only to clients of The Society. In addition, in early 2009 The Society will provide access to a certified travel consultant to assist with flights, car rentals and other transportation logistics.

Winter Park Resort Comes of Age

This article on a travel blog discusses Winter Park Resort and all the changes in recent years. "With its terrain, superior snow conditions and yet still quiet slopes" Winter Park is a great mountain that keeps getting better.

Excerpts from the blog: New Ski Runs & Ski Lifts a Hit With Skiers & Boarders in Winter Park Resort, Colorado, Usa
Winter Park has gladed 100 acres of terrain on skiers right and added 2 brand new fairly long runs to get back down to the Panoramic or Sunnyside lifts via a different route. These 2 new trails are called Forever Eva and Parry’s Peak and are intermediate trails, winding gently through the newly gladed forest, for everyone to enjoy.

and

“The Panoramic Express, with its unmatched view, and the addition of two new intermediate trails, not only provides guests with quicker access to the top of Mary Jane’s Parsenn Bowl, but also provides more elbow room to play once they’re there,” said Gary DeFrange, president & chief operating officer for Winter Park Resort."
