September and October 2013 vacation rates reduced

Grab a last minute September or October Florida deal

We’ve just discounted our September and October rates!  There’s often no better time to visit Florida than as the nights start drawing in and the temperatures start to fall in the Northern hemisphere.  Getting home from work in the dark is no fun, so why not cheer yourself up and grab a last minute deal to our Tuscan Ridge villa?  The temperatures are still hot in Orlando at this time, without being too much – great for a family friendly holiday.

We have three weeks available in September, and one in October.

Our heated pool and spa are waiting for you!

Book now, or please share this post with someone who you know might like a fun filled Autumn trip to Florida and Disney, or just to play golf on one of the many courses in Florida.

GBP strong against USD

Posted on by

As we wait for the villa survey to complete, inspecting for pesky woodworm, rogue pests, and various structural problems, I can’t help notice that the GBP is nice and strong against the USD. Of course, now that I have written this it will plummet.  Once the survey says “yes you have bought a wonderful house that will last for years and has an indestructible self cleaning pool” then I can look forward to booking a trade with the FX Firm close to the 1.62 point. Strangely, the cash will fly over all the way to the USA only to come wheeling back a month later. The middle men won’t complain.

At least the banks with their huge markup (FX spread) won’t get their grubby hands on my hard earned (read remortgaged) money. 1.55 is a good rate? That would lose me over 9,000 USD!
