Wheelchair Ramp Rentals Provide a Solution to Summer Travel Plans

As summer 2010 kicks off, it’s surprising to hear lots of folks haven’t made plans yet   or so the headlines read. From the economy to other disasters, summer travel remains a popular topic, although plans are traditionally already long set.

Maybe folks have taken a tip from Nashville residents who had to rearrange their Gulf Coast plans. Perhaps fear of getting stuck in Europe after another blast of volcano ash is holding up vacation arrangements.

Families who need accessible accommodation, typically have trouble finding vacation homes for different reasons. Most vacation homes or cottage rentals are not accessible and therefore beyond reach of those living with a disability.   That’s where Amramp.com can help: Amramp can install a rental wheelchair ramp almost anywhere, with no damage to the rental property, whether you need it for a day, week or month.

A wheelchair ramp rental can keep traditions intact like gathering family at the same lakeside cottage for generations, overcoming failing health or recovering from accidents and surgeries.

Now’s a good time to think of last-minute alternatives that can include the whole family, even if you have special mobility needs. Renting a wheelchair ramp could make a beach house or cabin in the mountains accessible for everyone. A vacation cottage can easily be made accessible with a sturdy, modular wheelchair ramp from Amramp.

Finding a rental closer to home rather than flying to Europe or across the country is looking better every day, and summer rentals remain a good value due to lower demand. As gas prices spike – which they are predicted to do just as the summer travel season is in full swing – considering a rental property is an attractive option.

People who need a cane or wheelchair need not be left out of the vacation. If someone has a disability or a broken a leg, they can still be part of the fun. And the cost of renting a wheelchair ramp is less than staying at a hotel for several days.

Amramp rents and sells steel wheelchair ramps with railings that can be installed by our professionals within a day. Unlike smaller, lightweight ramps, Amramp wheelchair  ramps are adaptable for use in settings such as sandy, beachfront property or uneven terrain by a lake retreat. Wheelchair Ramps from Amramp are not permanently attached to the home and will not negatively impact a rental home in any way. The modular design of the wheelchair ramp is perfect for a short term rental and provides the safest solution available for your needs.

Amramp, offers a fast, easy and safe wheelchair ramp solution to improve people’s lives.  Amramp is a national organization with local, factory-trained professionals and with local inventory throughout the country.

Why ride dual sport motorcycles?

Let’s face it, there’s a time and a place for everything and every kind of Motorcycle.  “Cruisers” are great for Sunday afternoon riding but the seating position can compromise control on the twisties.  Sport bikes will feed the need for speed, but just try getting off the beaten path: SPLAT.  Touring bikes are great for long distance travel, but sometimes you want something a little lighter to maneuver around on.  Dirt bikes tell it like it is: try riding one for 100 miles on the highway: NOT FUN.

Which brings us to dual sport bikes:

Dual sport is a broad term for street legal motorcycles that are designed to enter off-road situations.  An original definition of dual sport was: “dual” as in road & dirt, and “sport” as  in non-competitive venues.  This concept remains true today.  Kawasaki KLR 650′s, Suzuki DR 200′s, and Suzuki DR 650′s are some of the most popular dual sport bikes on the market today.  Ugly as heck, they are meant to take you to the beautiful places, not to sit and stare at all day like a fool.  Dual sport motorcycles, also known as adventure touring, are a combination of off-road and on-road capability.  It’s a great day when you can catch a twisty in the morning, have lunch in the mountains mid-day, and return to civilization via an unimproved fire road.

Maybe that’s why dual sport motorcycles are so popular. Their torque-y single cylinder engines, exceptional clearance  and road sticking capability get you through the twisties like butter.  Lightweight, with large capacity fuel tanks combined with great fuel economy makes them perfect for a day of riding in the mountains and a full day of fun.  KLR 650′s have plenty of load carrying capability for multi-day trips or camping. Come try one and see what you think.  We think you will be pleasantly surprised — after all, KLR 650′s are the first choice for most round the world travelers on two wheels.  There is a reason dual sports are the world’s most versatile bike. This IS the everything bike!

Here at GSMmotoRent we offer Kawasaki KLR 650′s, Suzuki DR 200′s, and Suzuki DR 650′s dual sport motorcycle rentals for your riding pleasure. GSMmotoRent.com also provides guided motorcycle tour rentals with tour guides like Terry Finchum (Smoky Mountain Dual Sport), and self-guided tour planning throughout the scenic raods and trails of The Great Smoky Mountains in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Good roads include The Dragon, Blue Ridge Pkwy, Cherohala Skyway, and the Foothills Pkwy.  Trails include Parson’s Branch Rd, Rich Mountain Rd, and Heintooga Rd, all in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  North Carolina offers trails such as Tatum Gap Rd, Winding Stairs, Max Patch Rd, and many more throughout the Cherokee and Pisgah National Forests.  We have many of these mapped out with turn by turn directions. -Dan Dickie, owner GSMmotoRent.com

Enjoy the Outdoor Wonders of Central Virginia

People who love outdoor activities will not find a better place to vacation – or to live – than Central Virginia.   There are so many things to do and natural wonders to explore, you’ll never tire of the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

When Stan Horst moved to Central Virginia 20 years ago, he found the perfect place to live.  Stan and his wife, Debbie, a Virginia native, own and operate Cabin Creekwood, a vacation rental business near Waynesboro.

Novice and expert hikers alike will find trails to suit their preference for a walk in the woods or a serious hike while taking in views from a mountain top or a cascading waterfall.  Some of the options for hiking are:

•    The Appalachian Trail covers over 2100 miles from Maine to Georgia and is the nation’s longest marked footpath.   The Appalachain Trail in Central Virginia crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway a number of times and can be easily accessed just two miles from Cabin Creekwood.
•    Humpback Rocks Trail leads to Humpback Rocks, to Humpback Mountain and to the Humpback Rocks picnic area.  From this trail, ambitious hikers take a spur trail to a strenuous 700 foot climb providing amazing views of the Rockfish and Shenandoah Valleys.  Continuing one more mile, hikers reach the summit of Humpback Mountain with views of the mountain ridges to the north.
•    Spy Rock Trail is one of the Horst’s favorite hikes just for the incredible views offered.   According to legend, Confederate Soldiers used Spy Rock as a lookout for Union Troops.  Once you reach Spy Rock you’ll understand why.
•    Crabtree Falls is said to be one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Virginia and the highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi.   This natural wonder with five cascades is definitely a must-see for visitors to the area.  Anyone can enjoy Crabtree Falls as the first cascade is handicapped accessible.  After walking to the bottom of the lowest falls, the trail becomes dirt and you are on one of nine switchbacks that take you to the top of the Falls.  With guardrails on the steeper parts, the trail is well maintained and there are railed observation points for the most scenic overlooks.  It may be tempting to climb over the stone wall to the uppermost falls but resist the urge as the rocks are covered with algae and are very slippery.
•    Torry Ridge Trail is 7 miles long and follows the crest of Torry Ridge, providing great views of wilderness areas.

Caverns are a popular tourist destination in the Shenandoah Valley.  The closest caverns to Cabin Creekwood, Grand Caverns, are less commercialized than many similar cavern attractions perhaps due to being operated by a regional park authority.  Stan often recommends Grand Caverns as his personal favorite.  The Cathedral Hall, which is 289 feet long and over 70 feet high, is an awesome sight with its massive columns, rippling flowstone, and rare “shield” formations.  This cave was visited by both Confederate and Union Soldiers and has over 230 verified signatures of Civil War soldiers.

Luray Caverns are perhaps the best known caverns in Virginia attracting people from all over North America and more than 50 foreign countries.   Well-lighted walkways wind through huge chambers with breathtaking stalactites and cathedral sized rooms then lead to mirror-perfect pools of water.  Guides at Luray share stories about the science behind the natural wonders and how the caverns were discovered.   This is the home of the world’s only “stalacpipe organ” which plays haunting music on natural formations.

-Stan Horst

Rent A Ducati.com is the only company to focus exclusively on Ducati motorcycle rentals.  The popularity of Ducati motorcycles has expanded significantly recently.  Unfortunately, many people who dream about riding or owning one may be unable to fulfill that desire.  At last, Rent A Ducati.com makes that Ducati rental dream possible. Rent a Ducati has the following motorcycles: an 848 Superbike, a Hypermotard 1100, and a Monster 696, available to rent at our popular San Diego, California location.  We also have Ducati rentals available, in Los Angeles, California; San Francisco, California; Phoenix, Arizona; and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ducati motorcycles are the Ferraris of the motorcycle world: the epitome of performance-oriented, sexy motorcycles.  As Ducati riders know, Ducati motorcycles are the preeminent Italian motorcycle; sexy, fast, and fun.  As a result, Ducati has a very loyal following called Ducatisti (Ducati fans).  Ducati Motorcycles also have a well-established and lengthy racing history that has earned the respect of the motorcycling world.

Aside from the fun of being able to rent a Ducati motorcycle, something not widely available prior to Rent A Ducati.com, now future Ducati owners can ride various models to help select the right one for purchase.  And, Rent a Ducati enables Ducati dealers to keep fewer “Demo” bikes in stock, allowing room for more new motorcycles.

The combination of GP Motorcycles, the premiere Ducati dealer for the greater San Diego area, and the idyllic riding conditions around San Diego make it our most popular rental location.  We look forward to having our customers take a winding zip up Palomar Mountain, cruise along the California coastline, or roll through the beautiful countryside in Alpine, and Julian, and into the mesmerizing Anza Borrego desert.

The easiest way to reserve a bike is to go to www.RentaDucati.com and book your reservation.  Prices depend on model selected and number of days rented, so check our website for details.  We have a standing weekend special: Rent Saturday and Sunday, get Monday free, and turn the bike in Tuesday morning.  That means a full 1/3rd off the rental price on any bike you select!  If you are in the area, GP Motorcycles is located 3617 India Street, Suite B, San Diego, CA 92103.  Stop by and look at the bikes!

Rent A Ducati.com was started by David Johnson and Dane Nelson after being frustrated by the lack of Ducati motorcycles for rent.  “We wanted to ride the bikes we are passionate about and knew there were others out there feeling the same way.”  Says co-founder Dane, “After riding Ducati motorcycles in Italy and not finding Ducatis for rent in the U.S., I approached David to see if he knew of anyone who rented them.  When the search proved fruitless, we decided to do something about it and make Ducati motorcycles available to everyone who is passionate about motorcycling!”  “Rent A Ducati.com,” says David, “is about turning a dream into a reality: the chance to ride an awesome Ducati motorcycle.”  Contact us by phone: 818-395-3648, email: Info@RentaDucati.com, or visit us on Facebook.

The Red River Gorge area, part of the Daniel Boone National Forest, has around 500 miles of trails through rugged terrain made of sandstone cliffs and exposed limestone rock faces (The Red River Gorge Online).  This makes it an ideal location for camping, hiking, rock climbing, and outdoor enthusiasts.  The General’s Cabin is located on 40 acres of private land.  It is only 12 miles from Red River Gorge & The Natural Bridge State Resort Park in Kentucky.  This vacation rental cabin also has a private pond where one can relax and enjoy some fishing.  Joy, the owner of The General’s Cabin, provided the following article about the history of her Red River Gorge vacation rental cabin…

The General’s Cabin

On March 18, of 1923 Jim Little was born in the Appalachian hills of southeastern Kentucky. Poor beyond measure, he walked to a one room school house a few miles from his home where he would alternate between his studies and day-dreaming about a better life for himself. Beauty surrounded him in spring when the redbud dotted the hills of green, and this young boy, full of intelligence and yearning knew he would have to make a way out of the poverty and deprivation he lived with daily.  He literally walked out of the hills of Kentucky, worked his way through the engineering program at the university   with the help of an ROTC stipend and graduated in the spring of 1941, just in time to be among the first Americans to be deployed in the Second World War. After an illustrious career of nearly 30 years, he would return as a highly decorated warrior who completed some 123 combat missions as a Flying Tiger, hero of the air war in Korea, as well as a test pilot of early jet age, and attaining the rank of General at the age of 40. He retired and could have lived anywhere in the world, but chose to return to the hills of his birth to create a beautiful hand-built cabin nestled in the woods on a magnificent 40 acre site. Here he lived in a delicious peace and solitude the quiet life of a farmer adoring the splendor of his native hills until the very day he died in 1995.

I, General Little’s daughter, lovingly took on the restoration of my father’s cabin shortly after his death. Not wanting it or him to be forgotten I have offered it for rental to the public since 2005. I invite you to experience this one of a kind cabin for yourself.

Please take the time to go to www.generalscabin.com and reserve your dates.

Silver Property Management Inc. is a full service property management company, specializing in home rentals, in The Indianapolis Metro Area.  If you are interested in a house for rent in Indianapolis (or a condo, townhome, or apartment to call home), contact Silver Property Management, www.spmIndy.com.  Lisa Andrews, owner and true real estate professional, provided a very informative article about the Indianapolis rental market, Silver Property Management, and its affiliate companies…

As a native and life-long resident of Indianapolis Indiana one of the things that I have grown to appreciate the most about this city are its hard working down-to-earth friendly residents and the expected stability of life.

Don’t get me wrong, the hit that the nation has felt to the economy are felt here as well.  The downward turn in the economy, which resulted in a record number of home foreclosures, was the trigger point for the other owners of Silver Property Management, Inc. and I to get involved in the real estate market – and we haven’t slowed down yet.

In 2004 the owners of Silver Property Management began picking up single family homes in the Indianapolis area.  Contrary to many investors, we sought out to find those projects that required more than paint and carpet as we understood that the true value was in the homes that other investors wouldn’t dream of bidding on that were in strong residential areas.  From 2004 through today the owners have gathered a portfolio of over 100 single family homes, two commercial buildings and 2 apartment buildings with a total of 133 units.

Often people will ask – why Indianapolis?

• Indianapolis is ranked as one of the country’s top markets for return on rental properties

-Forbes Aug. 2009

• Indianapolis ranked 6th on list of “Best Cities for Jobs.”

Forbes, January, 2008

• Indiana ranked “Best State for Business” in the Midwest and 11th nationally. Indiana ranked 3rd in the nation in “Business Friendliness,” 4th in transportation, and 6th in cost of business.

Chief Executive Magazine, Jan. /Feb. 2009

For these and many other reasons this is why our roots are in the Indianapolis real estate market.

Over the years, as our portfolio grew, so did our knowledge of what it takes to run a successful rental property.  In 2008 it was a natural transition to start to offer what had previously only been offered to our own portfolio to new outside investors.

Silver Property Management and its affiliated company Silver Realty are dedicated to helping current and future property owners to better locate, manage, and build their real estate portfolio.  We maintain a full-time staff of well-trained industry professionals who continually strive to provide top quality service, coupled with the highest level of integrity to ensure unprecedented customer satisfaction and support.  Silver Realty brings the knowledge and expertise required for locating and evaluating viable investment properties.  Silver Property Management provides the highest quality of property rehabilitation, tenant placement, retention, and management at some of the most competitive prices in the business.  We have the unique ability to offer a synergy of services working together to promote a successful real estate investing environment for both novice and seasoned investors.

Los Angeles County is home to L.A.’s metro area and includes popular vacation destinations like Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and many more.  It is easy to see why Los Angeles is a popular West Coast travel destination.  If you are planning a family trip to the area, with babies or small children, finding a baby gear company is a must!  Examples of commonly needed baby equipment rentals are:  Cribs, Strollers, Joggers, Pack N Plays, Highchairs, Car Seats, Infant Swings, Exersausers, Toys, and Bouncy Seats. 

“L.A. Baby Gear Rental” is a full service baby supply rental company in Los Angeles:

L.A. Baby Gear Rental

Mom and Pop Owned and Operated

We are Russell and Erin, the parents of two young children, daughter Rosie and son Eli.  We are L.A. Baby Gear Rental and operate the business from our home in the suburbs of Los Angeles.  We are both originally from New York and made the move to the West Coast before our children were born.  We ended up staying and having a family here but left lots of family and friends behind on the East Coast.  So we’ve done a fair amount of traveling across the country.  It’s from these travels that we refined our ideas for L.A. Baby Gear Rental, deciding that we would like to make a living helping travelers like ourselves better enjoy travels with their babies and toddlers.

Traveling is often cumbersome and generally an uncomfortable task. To do it with small children can be quite a busy endeavor. For one toddler alone a pack n play, a stroller and a car seat are the basic requirements.

There must be another, easier, way!

“I’m afraid we will have to charge you an additional $50 to check the pack and play and an additional $25 for each suitcase, unless the baby has his own ticket.”  Those were the words that led us to say, “there must be another, easier, way to travel with little ones!?!”

For our next trip we explored our options and found a handful of companies that rent baby equipment to travelers.  We were thrilled. While the traveling still wasn’t easy (You know what I’m talking about!), it was certainly better and less expensive.  How nice it was to arrive at our destination where the crib was set up, stroller was waiting, and our daughter had a bunch of new toys waiting for her.

Personalized Service at an Affordable Price

At L.A. Baby Gear Rental we strive not only to make it easy for the parents of little travelers but we also aims to make it affordable.  Our rental prices are better than those of our national competitors on the same or similar products.  If you see a price better than ours, we will beat it. We offer flexibility too that some of our competitors may not offer – without tacking on a litany of fees and surcharges.  We work with travelers to accommodate their travel schedule.  We offer a level of personalized service that a giant franchise may not deliver.  L.A. Baby Gear is a “mom and pop shop” (literally!) and we want to help other moms and pops enjoy their travels with their little ones and help make traveling to L.A. with the family a more enjoyable experience. Thanks for considering LA Baby Gear Rentals for your next trip! Call us for more information or to make baby equipment reservations at 866-728-1494.

Hi Folks, I’m Kevin Godwin, an entrepreneur and new business owner…

I would like to take a few moments to introduce my company, Sandlappers Beach Supplies, LLC.  I’ve lived on Ocean Isle Beach, in North Carolina, for the past 10 years and am extremely excited about opening my beach gear rental company, Sandlappers Beach Supplies.   Although Sandlappers opened its doors in 2010, I have over 10 years experience in business management, 7 of those servicing the vacation rental industry.  We are a home based, family business, with a commitment to unsurpassed customer care & service.  As a result of Sandlappers low overhead, our beach gear rentals and beach equipment package pricing is lower than anyone else around, guaranteed!

When enjoying beach gear rentals on vacation, I have often said “ya know, for just a few dollars more, we could have enjoyed a particular item or service for the entire week”.  Thus Sandlappers based our affordable pricing on weekly rentals giving our customers the ability to do such.  Moving forward I look to expand quickly, offering more items & services.  Ultimately Sandlappers plans on opening a full service beach gear rental shop on the island.

One of the unique items that Sandlappers offers is the “High-Back Beach Lounger”.  It is a larger, more comfortable wooden chair, with a footrest, that you typically see on high end resort properties.  These are especially great for seniors or others who just can’t sit in those little sand chairs that my competition offers.  We also offer Ocean Isle Beach bicycle rentals and ocean kayak rentals.

Sandlappers will deliver beach equipment rentals to your vacation rental property before you check in, and pick it up the day of your checkout.  There isn’t any need for you to be present, so that’s one less headache you have to contend with.  For more information on Sandlappers company, rental items, pricing, and services please visit our website at: www.sandlappersbeachsupplies.com We accept VISA, Mastercard & Discover for your convenience as well as personal checks and money orders.

If you are planning a family vacation or traveling to Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) with kids in tow, then consider Baby Equipment Rentals as a way to simplify the process.  Winnipeg, also known as “the cultural cradle of Canada”, is home to a variety of significant architecture, award-winning musicians, and amazing festivals & cultural events. Karen Dunmall owner of Parentals, a child equipment rental company in Winnipeg, knows all to well how overwhelming travel planning becomes once babies and kids enter the equation…

Ah, the joys of travelling.  Bags packed?  Check.  Tickets?  Check.  Book and little pillow?  Check.  Checked in and taxi called?  Check.  Time to relax and enjoy the trip!

Wait a minute – that was before kids.  Scratch off the book and pillow, call the airline to make sure the lap child is on the reservation, and ask the taxi company for a minivan.  Re-pack the bags to make sure there is room for the bottles, medicine, clothes, sippy cups, favourite teddy, shoes, sandals, hats, toys, books, presents for grandma, and maybe a pair of pants for yourself (you can make do with one, you think).  Add another suitcase to the list of things to pay for at the airport because you forgot the humidifier, bumper pads, snow suit, boots, music player, favourite blanket and booster chair. Whew.  Now, get the car seats into the taxi, add the stroller and bags, and oops, almost forgot the kid!

It is always amazing how much stuff kids need, and especially when they are traveling.  The idea of jumping on the plane to visit grandma or go on vacation always seems great but then the reality of traveling with kids sets in.  It is a lot of work.

However, there are now baby equipment rental companies like Parentals (www.parentals.ca) in Winnipeg, Manitoba to make traveling a little easier.  Instead of hauling car seats from coast to coast, or bringing toys, bedding, strollers, and booster chairs from home, the option to rent baby gear is in most major cities across Canada and in fact worldwide.  Grandma can rent a full-sized crib just like home so that the little ones sleep better, and are contained in a perhaps not child-proofed room like Grandma’s den.  With all of the crib and stroller recalls lately, borrowing from friends or getting items second hand may no longer be the safest option. So make life a little bit simpler and rent what you need for baby.

Parentals opened in July 2009 with new, safe and clean furniture and gear to rent for baby.  We carry everything from car seats to strollers, booster chairs to cribs, and everything in between.  People travelling to Winnipeg, grandparents expecting an exciting visit from their grandkids, and also Winnipeg parents either expecting a new baby or those with kids travelling abroad have all rented baby gear from Parentals.  We also just launched our Winnipeg Childrens Activities Calendar, which lists all the things to do with kids in Winnipeg.  We post on Facebook when there is a new addition to the calendar, so our Facebook fans always know of exciting things to see and do with kids in Winnipeg.

Furniture, appliance, and electronic rental companies, are reporting significant increases in rental sales in 2009. (Home Furnishing Business) A press release from ColorTyme, a large franchisor of rental furniture, appliance and electronics stores, discusses the increase in home furnishing rentals and quotes its vice president of operations, Albert Kohut, who had this to say regarding the subject…

“In this economy, consumers appear to be avoiding large cash outlays and refraining from putting large purchases on their credit cards. Instead, it seems many people are being cautious and are choosing to rent their furniture and other durable goods rather than buying them outright.” (ColorTyme Inc. via Marketwire)

The current economic conditions are not the only factors influencing people to rent furniture and electronics.  Individuals and organizations utilize home furnishing rental companies for a variety of valuable and popular reasons.  With the 2010 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament playing right now, I’m sure widescreen TV’s are a popular rental item.

BE Homes and their Phoenix rental homes, will always be dear to our hearts, at Rent It Today.  In the fall of 2008 Rent It Today, launched its updated website where anything for rent could be searched and listed throughout North America.  The 1.5 year period before then, Rent It Today’s website only advertised residential real estate in The Greater Cincinnati Area.   By chance and as a result of a random internet search, BE Homes became one of the first calls I placed outside of Cincinnati.   I left a message for BE Homes and ran a quick errand.  When I returned my partner was finishing up a call back from Barrett Eastman Property Management.  Although at the time our website was a little rough around the edges,  Barrett Eastman believed in Rent It Today and signed up for our services that day.  Thus BE Homes was one of the first rental companies to use Rent It Today’s new look website and national advertising service.

BE Homes has a large selection of Scottsdale homes for rent and rental houses in the Phoenix Metro Area.  If you are looking for a single family residential house in Scottsdale or Phoenix then Barrett Eastman almost certainly manages an investment property that meets your needs.

One of the most popular poker games is “Texas Hold ‘Em” and since we are featuring its namesake state, a little history and information is in order:

Many people attribute the growth and popularity of Texas Hold ‘Em to the invention of online poker and the game’s appearance in film & on television (Wikipedia).

“Most gambling games have histories that are enigmas wrapped in a puzzle and shrouded in mystery. The subject is both fascinating and elusive, yet historians continue to try to trace the origins of various games, particularly poker, which is a perennial favorite. According to some students of poker history, the first game of Texas Hold ’Em was played in a small town called Robstown, Texas, at the turn of the century (late 1890s–early 1900s). Only when it reached the bigger city of Dallas, Texas, in the 1920′s did it really take off and attract a big following. Cowboys, miners, and others combined drinking and gambling and the game was played in saloons all over the southwest of the U.S. The game was known as “Devil’s River” in some parts of the country and as “Styx” in others; to this day, the final card in a game of Texas Hold ’Em is known as “the river” (WildJack Gaming).”

With today’s history lesson out of the way its time to spotlight two casino rental companies that service Texas.  The first party & event company illuminated by the Rent It Today spotlight is Carte Blanche Casino & Entertainment Company.  Carte Blanche is based in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metro area offering casino equipment rentals and party planning throughout all of Texas.

Casino Artwork and Backdrop Rentals by Delouise Studios

“The first casino gambling was brought to the west from French, English, Irish and Spanish immigrants, mostly traveling up the Mississippi River from the deep south long before the Civil War.

According to popular belief, though argued by some, Brown’s Saloon was the first casino built on American Soil in 1822. The saloon was built upon the intersecting corners of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.

Trappers in the west greatly enjoyed the casino gambling and those passing through quickly spread the idea further west. Gold miners were constantly traversing the plains in search of wealth towards the Pacific Coast. Inevitably, casinos were developed in abundance in an attempt to capture what gold these prospectors may have found (World Casino Directory Colorado History).”

People have been traveling to Colorado and the West since the gold rush era attempting to strike it rich.  Since that time there has been gambling and casino operations attempting to profit from those peoples fortunes.  One of the beauties of Casino Parties is the ability to enjoy all the fun & excitement that comes from gambling without one’s wallet taking a hit.  Everyone wins at a casino party, thus the expression, “the house always wins”, does not apply.  With some history relevant to the geography of this blog articles featured rental company out of the way, it is time to spotlight:  Deuces Wild Casino Rentals.

Here are a couple of nice videos, produced by Roger Akers, explaining Rent It Today’s philosophy and background that we used to launch the Rent It Today YouTube Channel:

Why Choose Rent It Today?

The first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France in 1924.  Winter sports, including various skiing events, have been competed in every Winter Olympics since then.  Vancouver and the nearby mountain resort area Whislter, in British Columbia Canada, are the proud hosts of the 2010 Winter Olympics. While the Winter Olympics are certainly the current event when thinking of Vancouver, the city is also considered one of the most desirable places to live in the world.  If you are planning a vacation to this beautiful city there are a number of must see attractions.  Stanley Park, being one of them, has a 1000 acres of west coast forest to explore with trails and a 6.5 mile seawall path for hiking and biking.  In addition Stanley park has 3 recreational beaches and its home to the Vancouver Aquarium.  Nearby Vancouver Island & Granville Island are very popular destinations and the Capilano Suspension Bridge provides incredible views of the Capilano River Canyon.  Finding an amazing holiday accommodation in the area should be a fun task as there are plenty of wonderful vacation rentals in Vancouver.

If you plan on attending the 2010 Winter Olypmpics and/or traveling to Vancouver for a family vacation with babies in tote, then pack lite because Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals has all the baby gear and supplies needed for your vacation.  Stroller rentals, car seats, full sized cribs, toys, infant bathtubs, and baby monitors are just a few examples of baby items for rent available through Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals.  Wee Travel supplies baby equipment rentals to Toronto, Victoria, Vancouver, and their surrounding metro & resort areas.  They also own a delightful Vancouver vacation rental accommodation.

Rent It in Vancouver:

Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) launched in 2005 as Canada’s first baby equipment rental company. Over the years, the company has sought out new products and innovative ways to make it safer, easier, and less stressful for families to fly with small children. The company recently opened The Modage, a beautiful furnished vacation rental in Kitsilano. After hearing customers remark over and over again how difficult it is to stay in hotels with small children, Wee Travel decided a vacation rental property was the solution. A fully equipped kitchen, fridge, stove, laundry facilities and baby gear such as a crib, highchair, carseat, stroller and toys were all key desires of their customers. The Modage was converted to a furnished vacation rental in August 2009. It’s stunning and welcomes kids and pets. The 1300 square foot townhouse is located in one of the most desirable areas of the city, and is within walking distance to Kits beach, Granville Island and a variety of trendy shopping areas and kids parks/water parks. It comes complete with a crib and highchair if required, and a full range of baby gear can be provided for a minimal cost. Now that’s what we call the “stress free” route to Vancouver.

…New York City.  It was interesting to find out, after a little research, that New York City was originally called “The Big Apple”  by John Fitzgerald, a writer for the New York Morning Telegraph.  “In the early 1920′s, apple was a word used to reference the many horse racing courses around New York City. The actual word Apple referred to the lucrative prizes awarded for winning the races.  John Fitzgerald, referred to New York City’s races using the phrase, Around the Big Apple.” With New York City and racing in mind it is certainly fitting that our article today highlights Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals LLC. While we are certainly not advocating renting street bikes and racing around New York City, when riding motorcycles you cannot help but embrace the feeling of speed and exhilaration produced from the open air in your face and the road at your feet.  Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals provides BMW motorcycle rentals in New York City and Los Angeles, California. Jupiter’s has a very nice selection of high end 2009 model BMW motorcycles for rent.  In addition Jupiter’s provides motorcycle storage rentals, and an incredible “across the country” motorcycle tour from New York City to Los Angeles, California.

Jupiter’s specializes in BMW Motorcycle Rentals for local and cross country rentals. Whether you want to rent a BMW to just get out of the city for a day, or go across the country, Jupiter’s offers the latest BMW motorcycles to help you achieve your ideal adventure.

In the past it was not possible to rent a BMW 1200RT motorcycle and ride it comfortably across the country, one way. Or choose the more nimble BMW F800ST or F650GS motorcycle to ride in and out of  the New York City or Los Angeles metro area, or for that matter ride that BMW motorcycle across the country one way.

Enter Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals:

Jupiter’s was spawned from my own riding experiences and is much more than just a business.  In the summer of 2006 I spent over a month traveling alone across China by motorcycle. My only traveling companion was a book by Ted Simon called “Jupiter’s Travels.” Simon traveled around the world alone by motorcycle long before the adventure bikers of today set out to do the same. He wrote of his adventures and how he acquired his name. He was told by a friend, “You have a determined soul. This is reflected in your mind. You are Jupiter…” he said.

To which Simon thought “Why not? I like the sound of that.”

The mission of my trip was very much the same as Ted Simon’s: “The goal was comprehension, and the only way to comprehend the world was by making myself vulnerable to it so that I could change me. The challenge was to lay myself open to everybody and everything that came my way. The prize was to change and grow big enough to feel one with the whole world.”

It surprised me to discover that this sense of rightness does not appear naturally in people, even though they live in the heart of nature,” Simon wrote. To which I agree. It was not my environs that needed to change but me. How do we change?

This isn’t just a motorcycle business to me; it is my attempt to help bring about the change in ourselves we all seek–that feeling of one with the world. Traveling helps me do that–motorcycling brings me closer to the heart of nature both within myself and I find with others.

So, the way I see it, we are all Jupiter if we want to be. Or as another great traveler once wrote: “On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur, l’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.” – One can see rightly only with the heart, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

–Chris Miles, owner Jupiter’s Motorcycle Rentals
