In just a few days we’ll be ringing in the new year. It’s a time that most of us look forward to a fresh beginning. For most of us, we’re vowing to lose weight, spend less time watching television, and exercise more. Yawn.
But we here at Five Star Vacation Rentals want to encourage you to break out and make some new resolutions. Climb out of your yearly rut and embrace new resolutions. Exercise boldness! Here is our list of completely unbiased and self-serving resolutions. Please write these down:
1. Learn To Ski
There’s nothing to be ashamed of if you never learned to ski. Sure, lots of people were skiing before they could ride a bike, but that’s okay. This is why all the major ski resorts offer ski lessons for all age ranges. Make this the year that you finally strap on a pair of skis and learn why so many people are so passionate about this hobby. All of the ski resorts near our vacation rentals offer lessons for beginning skiers.
In Big Bear, Snow Mountain offers group and private lessons for both skiing and snow boarding. This is gonna be fun. Click here for more info. Here’s our page of Big Bear luxury vacation rentals. Most of them have hot tubs, so you can relax it the soothing warm water if you get any bumps or bruises.
Book your stay at one of our Mammoth Mountain condos first, then make arrangements for your ski lessons. Mammoth Mountain offers private and group lessons for both kids and adults. Visit their website at this link for more details.
Visit our Park City, Utah condo, and you’ll be facing some of the best skiing found anywhere. And they also have lessons for all age and skill levels. Here’s the link to their page. View more details about our Park City condo on this page.
2. Ski More Next Year
Already know how to ski, but haven’t been able to get away enough? Resolve that you will ski more, and we’ll help you with this resolution. January is one of our biggest months for skiing. There’s really nothing as relaxing or exhilarating as a good fast run down the slopes. You need to get away more often.
Big Bear is our most popular ski getaway. View our Big Bear vacation rental cabins at this link. We also have units available at Mammoth Mountain. Here’s the link to our Mammoth Mountain vacation rentals. And we have a great cabin available in Park City, Utah as well. Here’ the link to our Park City condo.
3. Golf More Next Year
You can golf year round at our Palm Springs/La Quinta and Villa La Estancia, Mexico properties. Once the snow melts, you can visit any of our properties. If your spouse loves golf, but struggles to find time for it, we can help. We’ll work with you to build a perfect golf getaway you can surprise them with for their birthday, your anniversary, or Valentine’s Day.
4. Take a Beachfront Family Vacation in Exotic Mexico
We have over a dozen luxury units available right on the beach outside Puerto Nuevo Mexico. Villa La Estancia is a world-class resort destination that boasts 2 gourmet restaurants on site, several pools, as well as a full spa. And just a short cab ride away, you can enjoy the local flavor of Puerto Vallarta with amazing food and great shopping including exotic products made by local artisans. All major Southern California airports offer direct flights, so you can be there within a couple hours and start enjoying the fun. Visit our Villa La Estancia page at this link for more details.
5. Teach the kids fishing, mountain biking or boating
Some of the best memories most of us have from our childhoods are when our parents taught us something new and fun. Big Bear is a great destination for this. There’s a virtually unlimited number of new activities you can do in Big Bear. Big Bear Lake has rentals for all sorts of boats to take the family out on the lake. You can also rent bikes at Bear Valley Bikes. Bear Valley Bikes have bikes suitable for mom and dad as well as the kids, so you can hit the trails and explore the forest around Big Bear. Heck, you can even have some fun teaching the kids how to bowl at The Bowling Barn.
6. Spend More Quality Time With Your Family
This is really what we hope to provide to all our guests. It’s fun to find an excuse to get away for a family vacation, but the only one you really need is the desire to spend some time with your family away from the pulls of work and your other commitments. Our kids grow up fast, and we miss too much if we don’t make plans to enjoy their childhoods while we can. Don’t let another year slip by without getting in some good vacation time with your family.
7. Be Thankful
We may be a vacation rental company, but we really feel we’re in the business of recharging batteries. In the pressure of our daily lives, we often get distracted by the temporary pressures that tend to drive much of the things we do each day. A family vacation gives us a chance to wind down, and embrace the things that are most important. We can look at our kids playing a game of checkers in the corner, and have our hearts fill with gratitude for the many gifts we enjoy. And that is the most important resolution of all. Be thankful for all that you’ve been given.
Five Star Vacation Rentals would like to thank all our friends and guests who helped to give us so much to be grateful for in 2012. We wish each of you a wonderful 2013 filled with prosperity and quality time to spend with your family and friends. Please call us at 310-780-3411, and we’ll help you put together a great vacation that will be a wonderful time for your family.
