shopping in US factory outlets

During our trip to the States, I did alot of shopping for Clayton's clothes and shoes. Children's apparel are very affordable in the factory outlets all over the US and all you need is a car, your credit card and lots of time!

I bought myself a pair of Diesel from the outlet though I was hoping to get a pair of Ecco shoes for casual wear. Clayton's Timberland cost merely less than USD$25 and my hubby got himself four pairs of shoes! That was one occasion where he went on a shopping spree. Three pairs within an hour and another one was bought in another outlet. With the US dollar weakening, it seems like a good time to visit the US. Then again, I don't think we would be heading that way for the next one year.

book luxury vacation rentals directly

Well, it looks like we aren't going to Las Vegas as DH is complaining that it's a long a drive 'for him'. There goes my Bellagio fountain and my longing to snap photos of all the nice architectural hotels. Our cousin suggests that we should consider San Diego which I am right now. I had been to San Diego once but it was a short day trip and didn't have time to explore the city. Perhaps this time, we can spend a few days in San Diego and I'm looking forward to check out La Jolla and Coronado.

It is so timely that I stumble upon some nice San Diego vacation rentals from Goin2Travel.com and this ocean view condo seems like a great place for our family getaway! With Mission Beach at just a stone's throw away, DH can practice his surf boarding and I can build sand castles with Clayton... that sounds like a real holiday :) But it looks like I would need to rent it for a week after reading the full description and information of the San Diego condo.

At Going2travel.com, there are a wide selection of vacation homes out for rent where you as a traveler can contact the owner directly, thus cutting off middle men costs. From Newport beach vacation rentals to Santa Barbara villas, every property have photos to provide you an indication of what to expect from the vacation home. This is definitely a great resource when you are planning for a family vacation or couples getaway... it's a good way to get away from the commercial hotels and tourist crowd.
