Many vacationers "think Florida" from the get go. Many European vacationers are of the same mind. Since the advent of the internet, finding places to stay in Florida has been eaiser for those traveling from the UK. Many might make a package deal, not realizing the advantages of booking lodging seperately. Here are a few of my favorite things about this:
1. save money--it could likely cost $10 per person per night in an Orlando Villa
2. personalize your accomodations
3. view 15-20 photos of property on line
4. get a 360 degree virtual tour
5. rent the actual property you view
6. full service information
7. check availability online
8. book online
9. office located in Florida
10. look for special offers

work around the house
We have been having some work done on our house. I remember having our kitchen remodeled two years ago. In the midst of it, it doesn't always feel so nice, but I have to remind myself of a few of the good parts about having it done:
1. it is falling down around us
2. no more rotten wood siding
3. it just looks nicer
4. raises the value of the house
5. no more letters from the home owner's association
6. get a chance to clean some things out
7. rearranging sometimes is a good thing
8. it feels better when you are done
9. my kids learn some useful life skills
10. when it's all done it looks great
