Lake Tahoe Travel and Vacation Planning

Skiing in Lake Tahoe, CA

Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts Get Much Needed Snow

A series of storms that moved through the popular Lake Tahoe Ski Vacation Region in mid January has brought long awaited significant snowfall to the areas ski resorts.

This season Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe Ski Resorts have experienced unusually low snowfall to this point, with most relying on snow machines to make the snow to allow them to operate. The recent snowfall deposited upwards of two feet of fresh powder which was welcomed by resort operators, who were happy to see Mother Nature help return the slopes to more natural conditions. Several runs were unable to be opened because of the snow shortfall, yet resort operators were optimistic that the recent snowfall would allow the mothballed runs to be opened for business as usual.

The gift from the skies came less than a week after a group of Paiute, Shoshone and Washoe tribal members performed a traditional Native American ceremony seeking spiritual help to bring snow to the Sierra. A crowd of participants estimated in excess of 200 people took part in the January 15th exercise at Homewood on Lake Tahoe’s western shore.

A similar Native American ceremony conducted in Vail, Colorado recently produced an increase in much needed snowfall in that ski resort area.

As a result of the new snow on the slopes, Lake Tahoe will experience an increase in vacation and weekend getaway visitors which will create a spike in demand for rental accommodations. If you are a prospective first time visitor, or have previously visited the famous resort area, it is good to know the region still offers an excellent selection of cabins, condos, and homes on the West Shore. Furthermore there is no shortage of vacation rentals on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, CA. Popular cities and travel destinations in the area include Kings Beach, Tahoe City, Alpine Meadows, Squaw Valley, Homewood, Carnelian Bay, Truckee, and Tahoma

And while Lake Tahoe does draw a lot of visitors for its 18 world class ski resorts, snowmobiling, and winter sports, there are certainly plenty of other activities which draw fun seekers and families to the area. Boating, golf, and hiking are popular activities and many first time visitors to the area are pleased to discover that Lake Tahoe is dotted with a number of beautiful beaches, like Kings Beach, for those who love to swim and decompress in the warm sunshine.

Several marinas in the area offer boat rental for those who want to venture out into the beautiful open waters. Kayaking and parasailing can also be found. Bicycle rental is also very popular as there are a number of paved trails through the scenic forest. If you are planning a family vacation and need to rent baby equipment or beach gear you can contact Tahoe Truckee Baby Equipment Rental LLC.

Exotic French Riviera or Italian Motorcycle Vacations

An Exotic French Riviera or Italian Motorcycle Vacation Isn’t Just A Dream

Recently while rummaging through the attic of an old mansion built in the 1840’s, this writer came across an old tarnished brass lamp and thoughts of Aladdin began to dance through my head. Thought to myself, just what might I wish for if I rubbed this and a genie appeared who did in fact grant me a wish?

Hmmm, I pondered, how about the motorcycle ride of my life along the breathtaking roads of the Italian Tuscany region aboard a sleek exotic European machine? And then, since I’m in Italy, why not ask the genie to provide an Italian woman who reminds me of my favorite Italian movie star, Sophia Loren? Heck, I’d even settle for Elisabetta Canalis on the back of my motorbike.

I imagined she and I hopping aboard a Ducati motorcycle for a tour of some of the great motorcycle roads of the Apennine Mountains of Italy. For good measure, once we got done with the mountain roads, we would visit a genuine Italian motorcycle race track to put a couple of those KTM bikes through their paces and see what they were really made of.

Smitten with this vision, I set down the lamp, went to my computer and got online to search for how I could put the dream together in real life. Incredibly, the search revealed a company by the name of Columbus-International Motorcycle Rentals and Tours that must have been reading my mind. With the exception of the female partner, Columbus-International offers just such a tour: an 8 day Italian and South France motorcycle vacation beginning Tuesday, April 21st through Sunday, April 29th, 2012.

It was almost as if the genie resided inside the computer instead of the lamp. Having found the answer to my wish, I grabbed some brass polish and went back to the lamp to work on conjuring up the Sofia Loren look alike.

Based in Cannes, Columbus International is a Ducati motorcycle rental touring company that organizes guided motorbike trips across the Provence region of southeastern France, Cote Azur, the French Riviera, and the Alps. If you prefer to conduct your own tour, Columbus International offers the largest selection of Ducati motorcycle rentals in France.

Traveling with a Baby to Orlando FL

There is nothing quite like the anticipation which precedes a trip or vacation excursion. It’s the rare person who doesn’t look forward to going on a weekend getaway or taking a vacation to an exciting travel destination. For many kids or small children the chance to visit Disney World makes Central Florida and Orlando a top vacation spot.

Family vacation or travel planning which includes children creates unique concerns. What to pack depends largely on where one goes. Traveling with a baby always requires more planning. Taking long trips or vacations with babies presents specific challenges. One of the biggest challenges is remembering, packing, and finding a way to transport the tremendous amount of baby equipment needed. Thinking about lugging everything needed can be stressful, let alone trying to remember it all. From pack-n-plays, portable cribs, and strollers to highchairs, car seats, bath needs, and toys, one can become overwhelmed.

Thankfully this dilemma can be avoided. Professional Baby Equipment Rental Companies are available in most popular vacation destinations and resort areas who offer just about anything one needs when traveling with a baby. Over the past decade companies offering travel baby gear rentals have become very popular. Significant changes within the airline industry over the past decade regarding baggage restrictions and expenses are one reason baby supply companies are thriving.

If your travel plans include a trip to the airport, it is very wise to account for airline restrictions. Make sure you understand the aviation laws that may apply to baggage and items related to traveling with a baby. You will want to check with your airline regarding limitations, restrictions, and possible additional baggage fees for bringing along the equipment and supplies required when traveling with young kids.

When packing for family trips, the old adage that less is more certainly applies. The less stuff you have to cart around, the more freedom you’ll have. Additionally, you can lessen worry about the very real threat of damage to your belongings which can occur in transit.

When planning a kid friendly vacation to Orlando or surrounding areas of Central Florida in order to visit the many exciting and celebrated visitor destinations, you can save yourself a considerable amount of hassle and aggravation by simply taking advantage of the services offered by Travel BaBees of Orlando.

Mobility Scooter Rentals in Orlando Florida

The second blog update in a series of articles about Orlando travel and vacation planning is from ScootAround Mobility Solutions. It is an insightful article about Orlando Mobility Scooter Rentals for disabled individuals traveling or vacationing to Central Florida that need mobility aids.

Renting a Scooter in Orlando

Looking at Orlando now it’s almost impossible to believe that the city was once known only for its theme parks. Today, Orlando is one of the world’s fastest growing cities and is home to world class shopping, exquisite dining, and a sophisticated arts and culture scene.

Orlando, a top vacation destination, has something for everybody but make no mistake, Disney World is still the biggest draw in the area. For anybody with mobility issues, getting around this 47 square mile mega-park can be a real challenge. Thankfully, companies like Scootaround Wheelchair and Scooter Rentals are on the scene to help travelers meet this challenge.

Robert S. recently took a trip to Disney World, and rented a scooter for his trip. One of the benefits of renting a scooter from Scootaround, Robert said, was the ability to take them anywhere you wanted to go.

“Though Disney offered scooters in all the parks, you could not park hop with them,” Robert said.

Robert spent eight days in the Orlando area, visiting Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World, three of the premiere theme parks in the US.

“My wife and I could not have enjoyed our visit like we did without our Scootaround scooter,” he said.

Renting a wheelchair or scooter from Scootaround is fast and easy. They offer a toll-free number (1-888-441-7575) with 7-day support and also an option for renting online directly from their website.

Based out of Orlando, Scootaround is very familiar with what those visiting the city need. Not only is Scootaround the largest provider to Disney World, they offer the best price for scooter rentals anywhere in the city.

Even those who have their own equipment may want to consider renting equipment from Scootaround to avoid the hassle of traveling with equipment. The company can deliver directly to your hotel. This means travelers are often greeted with their scooter charged and ready to go as they check in.

Another benefit of renting from Scootaround is their flexible rental options. For example, they provide single and multi-day rentals – a feature not every provider offers. Scootaround also provides different options when it comes to types of scooters available for rent. Customers can choose three or four wheel scooters, deluxe heavy-duty models, or smaller, transportable models that can quickly fold up to fit in the trunk of a car.

For example, travelers looking for stability and comfort might consider renting a Pride Victory 10, one of the most popular scooters of its type. However, those looking for something more transportable and light weight would probably like a Go-Go Elite Traveller.

As a member of SATH, the Society for Accessible Travel and Hospitality, Scootaround is well aware of the needs of the traveler with mobility issues. In a city like Orlando, where the amount of things to do increases almost every day, the need is evident. So whether visiting a world-class shopping center, taking in the vibrant arts scene, or lining up for the Magic Kingdom, a scooter rental from Scootaround will ensure travelers needing mobility assistance get the most from their vacation.

How to Plan the Perfect Cabin Getaway

There’s nothing quite like relaxing in a mountain cabin rental while on vacation to set your mind and body completely at rest. The planning you put into your getaway will determine whether that rest becomes a reality, or a frustrating nightmare that just won’t go away, even long after your vacation is over. Here are eight questions to ask yourself to help in that travel planning process.

Why do you Want to Go?

There are many reasons you might choose to rent a cabin. Perhaps you’re looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone. Maybe you’re an author looking for a place to write. Perhaps photography is your forte, and you’re trying to find the perfect place for some outdoor scenic images. Maybe you’re simply looking for lodging near an attraction that you’ve always wanted to see. Whatever your reason, the first step in choosing your vacation rental cabin is figuring out why you want to go. Once you know that, you’ll be able to eliminate some options, and focus specifically on those that fit your needs.

What amenities are an Absolute Must?

Some amenities are nice, some wouldn’t interest you at all, but some are absolutely essential. Make a list of those amenities that are a must-have, and you’ll be that much closer to selecting a getaway that will make you happy. Be sure to take into consideration everyone who is going. If dad is happy, but the kids and mom have nothing to do, dad will wind up miserable too.

What amenities would Add to your Experience?

Some things are not essential, but would help your cabin getaway to be even more enjoyable. Do a little brainstorming with the whole crew, and make a list of things that you’d like to have if possible. You might think of features like a pool table, cable television, fireplace, hot tub, swimming pool, air conditioning, etc. You see, the word “cabin” covers a wide range of rental facilities, from very rustic to very modern. Make sure you know what you’d like before you start looking, and you’ll be that much more likely to wind up with a good experience.

What options do I have?

Now it’s time to start looking. The internet is a good place to begin, as most rental cabins have websites to show off what they offer. Do searches such as “Virginia cabin rentals,” or “cabin rentals near (attraction or city). Quickly eliminate any that don’t have your absolute musts, and evaluate carefully the ones that are missing your desires. Hopefully you can narrow it down to a small selection of cabins that meet nearly all of your expectations.

Don’t forget to ask your friends for their advice. They can be a tremendous source of information, especially if they’ve rented something similar to what you’re looking for.

What exactly do they have?

Carefully review each of the cabins on your short list. Compare each one with your list of amenities and desired features, and rank them with your first choice being number one, second choice number two, etc. Make sure to spend time looking at pictures. Most will have either a photo album or a video walkthrough. You might find even more pictures on their Facebook page. Look through the whole website and carefully evaluate everything you see. Pay special attention to details, as the little things can make or break your vacation.

How much will this cost?

Carefully evaluate the total cost for your getaway. Be sure to check the website for the rate, the taxes, and any additional fees. Many cabin rentals charge extra fees for linens, cleaning, processing, extra persons, damage deposits, and so on. If you’re not absolutely certain from looking at the internet, pick up the phone and give them a call. This is your vacation and your money, and finding out about hidden costs at check-in will certainly put a bad taste in your mouth, and negatively affect the rest of your vacation.

Can I talk to somebody?

Use the phone to do some of your research. Talk to the owners/managers, and get a feel for what they’re like. Someone who patiently answers all of your questions would likely be a good person to rent from. Ask questions about anything you’d like to know, especially things you don’t quite understand. It may be useful to find out how far you’ll have to drive to find restaurants, gas stations, and stores. If you want to visit any specific attractions, be sure to ask how long it will take to get there. Check on what is provided, and what you need to bring along.

How do I get there?

Make sure you know the way. GPS’s are nice, but don’t depend on them entirely. Many cabins are located in remote areas, and the GPS may not find them accurately. Sometimes, even Mapquest will take you the long way around, on roads that are not the ideal choice. No one knows the best way like the folks who live there, so trust their directions. They can even help you with problems like road construction or seasonal closures. They probably have directions posted on the website, but if not, you can get them via phone or email.

Finding the answers to these eight questions will help you plan the perfect getaway, so that when you arrive, all that’s left is to kick back and relax.

The arrival of Spring and the imminent approach of Summer means tourists will be flocking into our nation’s capital, Washington D.C. We all know that an injury or mobility issue should not be a reason that one should miss seeing the beautiful and historical landmarks that Washington D.C offers. However, the transport of mobility scooters, wheelchairs, and other mobility aids can present a challenge to the individual wishing to take in the sights of our nation’s capital. To answer this challenge, BW Surgical Supply has been providing rentable mobility equipment throughout Washington D.C and the surrounding Maryland/Virginia metro areas for over 14 years.

BW Surgical Supply rents a wide selection of portable mobility scooters, portable motorized wheelchairs, ultra lightweight transport chairs and lightweight wheelchairs. All of our products can be broken down, taken apart, and folded for easy transport into cars, buses, taxis and many other different types of vehicles.

We are a leader in the business of fulfilling mobility needs, providing user friendly, high quality equipment coupled with customer service that exceeds expectations.

Our customers can feel confident using our scooters, motorized wheelchairs or manual wheelchairs in various museums and attractions (ex. national gallery of art and Air and Space Museum) because these items are allowed everywhere. Not all facilities will offer a wheelchair or scooter and if they do these items are not always in the best condition.

Rest assured in knowing that BW Surgical will solve these mobility issues for you so that the only thing you need to worry about is enjoying all the beauty that our nation’s capital has to offer.

So from all of us enjoy your next visit to the Washington DC Metro area.

Sincerely,

B.W. Surgical Supply
