It's raining, it's pouring...

It never ceases to amaze me on how we will run away from the pool when it starts raining. I know this may sound absolutely cliche, but you are wet already. Part of vacation is to enjoy yourself, to do things you would not normally do if you were not on vacation.

Do you remember splashing around puddles as a kid? Really? You do? Well I don't, but I am sure I did, because whenever I get the opportunity to do it now, I have an absolute blast; it is completely and astonishingly invigorating. Forget botox, retinol and the like, the real fountain of youth are rain puddles; jump in one and you will see what I mean.

I love the sun an am an avid sun-worshiper (which explains my residence in the sunshine state). I can appreciate a beautiful sunny day. However, vacations are sometimes hard to come by; months of planning should not be set aside because of a few raindrops. Enjoy your time on holiday, laugh and play in the rain (but please, by all means get away from the lightning!); just think of all the money you will be saving on sunscreen!

A Good Walk Spoiled...

When you hear the words “Daytona Beach” what immediately comes to mind? NASCAR and the Daytona 500? Motorcycles and bike weeks? World class beaches? (In)famous spring breaks? How about this: world class golf courses.

Along with our sister resort Daytona Seabreeze, we here at Casa Del Mar will begin to offer our owners and guests fantastic savings to take advantage of two of the finest golf courses around, the Legends (an Arthur Hills designed 6,984 yard challenge) and Champions (A Rees Jones 7,088 yard links-style course) at LPGA International. With discounts up to 60% off the published greens fees at LPGA International, our resort guests can experience a first-class package that includes greens fees and golf cart, a valet bag attendant and receive discounts for the onsite Pro Shop and restaurant.

So if you would rather be on the green than in the sand, if you’re more comfortable in spikes than in sandals, or you would rather wear plaid knickers over tropical trunks, make your next vacation a Casa Del Mar or Daytona Seabreeze experience and go out and hit the links.
