Orlando has great deal to offer, and although it best known to many for Disney World, the fairy-tale complex was not sited in this part of Florida by accident. The climate is ideal for a vacation, and the area offers lots to do and see, such as Gatorland, Universal studios and a host of golf courses in addition to all the night-life you want. It is one of the world's best known vacation destinations.

If you are used to the best that life has to offer, why should your vacation home in Orlando offer you less? If you are like most of us, and enjoy a bit of luxury once in a while, just check out what Orlando vacation rental villas have to offer. Just as Disney can satisfy the imagination of your children, Orlando can cater for your imagination in what you might want in your vacation home.

If you want a pool and Jacuzzi or spa, you've got it. No need to share a pool with an entire hotel - you can have your own with a short term Orlando luxury vacation villa. You can also rent a town house, condo or estate villa in its own extensive grounds or as part of a complex. How about a gourmet granite kitchen, home cinema and entertainment system, or fantastic floors made of marble? You deserve a bit of luxury while on vacation: you have worked all year for it so why not pamper yourself?

Sure, if you are used to luxury you can likely book a top class hotel, but why cram yourself and your family into hotel rooms when you can enjoy the comfort of a proper home. You can enjoy the privacy and peace and quiet that you cannot get in a hotel, and many people opt for vacation estate villas just for these reasons. If the thought of cooking makes you shudder you are not forced to use the kitchen since Orlando boasts some of the best restaurants in the world.

There is a wide range of Orlando luxury vacation homes available for short term rental, with villas of up to eight bedrooms on offer. Such properties also offer up to eight bathrooms, and most have pools and spas with other luxury facilities. Considering the number of shopping malls and restaurants available in and around Orlando, these are genuine alternatives to hotel rooms. In fact the rooms tend to be larger and better furnished than the average hotel room, and many people prefer them.

Little wonder, then, that Orlando vacation rental villas are increasing rapidly in popularity, and if you take the current economic situation into consideration then they are suddenly compellingly attractive. You get a lot more for your money with a vacation villa in Orlando than with a hotel Normally, if you want experience the luxury that these Orlando luxury vacation rentals offer, you would have to book into a top class hotel at a fairly high room price. However, that need not necessarily be the case with a villa since the relative costs depend on the size of your family or party. This is easier to understand if you consider how the system works.

These villas are designed to offer luxury, and are decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The pool, spa and entertainment facilities have been previously mentioned, and some also offer a games room including a billiard table. Yet others are part of a complex, offering a gym, restaurant and other communal facilities.

You pay for the vacation villa by the day, irrespective of the number in your party up to an allowed maximum. For example, a typical 6 bedroom Orlando vacation rental villa sleeps 12 people at a cost of 5 daily during the summer and less the rest of the year, except special times such as Christmas. Compare that with the price of hotel rooms for 12 people and it is clear why this type of vacation accommodation is becoming increasingly more popular.

Add to that the privacy that your own villa offers, the peace of not having noisy people enter the room next door in the early hours and the increasing financial pressure being placed on families as the credit squeeze tightens and money becomes scarcer, and it is little wonder that the proposition is so attractive to so many people.

If you intend to vacation in Orlando this year or next then you will find Orlando vacation rental villas available close to Disney and to Orlando itself, and also near all the major tourist attractions in this part of Florida. You will not be disappointed with any of the Orlando luxury vacation properties available for short term rent.

Movie Lovers - Enjoy Your Visit to Universal Studios, Orlando

If you are fascinated by the movies and made-in-Hollywood films then a visit to the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando Florida is the golden opportunity to go on thrilling rides based on your favorite movies and to get behind the scenes and see how movies are actually made.

There is a lot on offer at Universal Studios so here is a brief guide to what you can enjoy there.

ORLANDO

The first stop for film and movie buffs is probably the Production Central area of Universal Studios. You will find it just beyond the front gates it is a real working film and television production studio. If you are fan of the Shrek series, then be sure to take in the Shek 4D feature. Despite the name it is actually a 3D film, produced in "Ogrevision" and has the standard Shrek cast of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey and Prince Charming.

Universal also combines standard roller coasters with film themes. An example of this is the Revenge of the Mummy ride. The Universal Studios website describes it as follows: "Plunge into total darkness as you face fireballs, scarab beetles, and an army of warrior mummies on a psychological thrill ride totally unlike anything that's come along in the past 3,000 years!" If that sounds attractive, then be sure to get on this ride.

If you are a science fiction fan then Universal Studios is the right place for you. The Terminator series was a scary look at the near future and the Terminator attraction at Universal Studios and the Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time is sure to thrill fans of the film series. Universal claims that is one of most technologically advanced of theme park rides, on this planet.

Speaking about planets, would you like to help the Men in Black protect the Earth from alien threats? If so then do not miss the Men in Black Alien Attack ride. Universal created 120 creepy alien "species" for this attraction, and you get to ride in a six-passenger vehicle that is "armed" with laser guns. When you get in the vehicle you will chase the aliens through the streets of New York City and it is up to you to protect the planet by zapping the aliens.

One of the biggest blockbuster hits of Universal Studios in Hollywood was Jaws, and in Orlando Jaws is brought back to life in a thrilling ride. You get to face the three-ton monster in a flimsy boat and it is sure to get your adrenaline pumping.

There is of course, lighter entertainment at Universal including plenty of outdoors shows. The Blues Brothers Show and the tribute to comedy queen Lucille Ball are two very popular attractions at the park. And if you are looking for entertainment, then be sure to stay around for the night clubs, restaurants and concerts at the CityWalk area of this theme park. CityWalk combines dining, shopping and entertainment venues all in a compact and fascinating "downtown" area adjacent to the other attractions of the park.

All in all, Universal Studios lives up to its reputation as one of Orlando's major attractions.

Florence, Italy Cooking Classes

Some of the best food in Italy comes from Tuscany. And as the region's most visited city, Florence is the center of Tuscan cuisine. Unlike the food from Southern Italy, the cooking here doesn't rely on tomatoes, cheese, and other ingredients that Americans link to Italian food.

Here, the emphasis is on seasonal local ingredients like wild boar, asparagus, truffles, and rabbit. And, of course, many dishes are prepared with the excellent wines from the region. Most of the dishes are easy to make, full of flavor, and designed to stick to the ribs.

CORDON

If you'll be in Florence for a few days, and you'd like to learn more about Tuscan cuisine and how to prepare it, half- or full-day cooking classes are a fun way to meet others, have a good meal, and acquire some new skills. Several classes are taught in English most days of the week.

One of the best-known cooking schools is the Culinary Institute of Florence, which falls under the Apicius International School of Hospitality. Students can take everything from a one-day course to a masters degree program here. If you have the time, the one-week program includes individual and group lessons, wine tastings, markets visits, and more.

Silvia Maccari is a well-known Italian cookbook author and food expert who teaches classes in her lovely apartment. The day starts with a tour of the San Lorenzo market, where student pick up what they'll use to prepare their meal. Back at the apartment, the class makes four courses, and then enjoys them together with wines that Silvia has selected to go best with the dishes.

The Scuola de Arte Caulinaria Cordon Bleu has been in the center of Florence since opening in 1985. Travelers who want to learn something specific, like making chocolates, pastas, or appetizers will find a wide variety of courses at this cooking school, ranging in length from one day to three months.

Well-known chef Giuliano Bugialli has been teaching classes at his Cooking in Florence since 1973. The school is located in Bugialli's 15th-century farmhouse in the Tuscan countryside. At the week-long course, students learn to make about 35 dishes, and enjoy dinners at local restaurants, wine tastings, and visits to area food producers.

Claudio Piantini teaches at the luxurious Relais Torres Guelfa in Figline Valdarno. One of the best parts of taking a class here is touring the beautiful cook's gardens that Piantini keeps and using the fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits for the meal. When the weather is nice, dinner is served on the pool-side terrace.

Californian Judy Francini started Divina Cucina after moving to Italy in the 1980s. She offers one-day and one-week classes to a mostly American clientele. On Mondays, classes include a tour of the market and lunch at a charming Florence trattoria. On Wednesdays, classes are held at a friend's villa in the country.

How to Plan & Design a Tablescape For Rental Stores

Designate an area for the tablescape. Don't rip apart your showroom or table without a design plan. Include in the plan details of tablecloths, plates, china, etc. If you don't have a large area then a small table with a scaled down version of a full-size table display will do.

cordones

Cordon off the showcase area; set up a pillar or lattice divider to create a separation. These items serve to separate but don't fail to suggest that they can be rented also.

CORDON

Have all items ready on hand before you begin and placed nearby. Make sure to iron or steam any tablecloths or fabric that will be used in the display. Use 2 tablecloths an overlay and underlay. When you are ready to begin make sure you use good tables. Don't put great displays over broken tables a customer may want to add tables to their rental sale.

Make sure the centerpiece matches the theme or purchase props for your display.

Place as many rental items that you own on or near the table. Once the table is completed don't stop; think about adding more. Layer more products on the table than normal-add 2 table number holders, extra glasses and a coffee server set. Add covers to your chairs and ties. Add invitations. Add candles.

If the set-up is a wedding theme then place a satin or lace mailbox or a wishing well nearby.

The key is to show a tablescape that will stir your customer's imagination. More items on display may make the table seem a bit crowded but showing items for inspiration is what leads to a multiple rental sale. A good showroom is staged to rent!
