Five Tips for Getting the Most Out of a Memorial Day Beach Vacation

Bolivia, NC (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

Memorial Day is a time for reflection and appreciation, but its also a time to let loose for a few days. Why not do both? North Carolinas Brunswick Islands is the place to be this time of year, and they have some tips to make the most out of a Memorial Day beach vacation.

1. Grill Something GreatNothing compares to the taste of fresh grilled seafood and steaks on a warm summer evening. In the Seafood Capital of the World, one is sure to find everything they need to cook up a meal the whole family will enjoy.

2. Tackle a New AdventureMemorial Day inspires energy and enthusiasm, so use the extra day to try something never done before. Dive into a new hobby, visit a site unseen or learn about something thats always been intriguing. You dont have to go far to discover whole worlds of activities that will kick your summer off right.

3. Prevent BurnoutFrom big, bulky sweaters to skinny jeans, everyones skin has been hiding from the sun for quite some time. Gorgeous sunny days are now here to stay, and as the suns warmth begins to radiate off the beaches, its good to be prepared. Always apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going in the water, and dont forget to reapply all day long to keep your skin safe and healthy.

4. Take a DipMemorial Day kicks off the first day of summer, which means the water will be cool-but-swimmable. The kids will be eager to jump in and will not care a bit about temperature. Just allow time for bodies to adjust, and make sure to pack extra towels and sweaters in case it gets cooler at night.

5. Join the Spirit of the HolidayDont forget to commemorate Memorial Day by taking a few minutes to remember those men and women who gave their lives to defend and serve this great nation. Share a few meaningful memories with family and friends as you enjoy the beautiful white beaches and warm sunny days.

SunKiss Villas - Disney Vacation Home Rentals vVolunteers at the Florida Special Olympics

Davenport, Florida (PRWEB) May 29, 2013

The Florida Special Olympics has been hosted at ESPN Disneys Wide World of Sports complex for several years and SunKiss Villas staff is happy to be a part of the excitement as volunteers. The event has always been a treat to witness as a spectator. Athletes of all ages are enthusiastic and excited to participate in their events and challenges which shows through in the expressions on their faces including the determined and focused look when putting everything they have in to it. But this same enthusiasm isnt exclusive to Florida. The same can be witnessed in any of the Special Olympic events around the country.

Volunteering at the Special Olympics is something the staff of SunKiss Villas holds dear to their hearts, especially since Matthew Douglas, the son of SunKiss Villas owners Mark and Dora, is a special needs individual. They have taken time from their busy schedule of Property Management and Reservations of Disney area Vacation Home Rentals to volunteer at several Special Olympic events over the past few years.

Giving back to the community has always been part of SunKiss Villas philosophy. Whether contributing to the community by donating time, talent or money, giving is a way of life for this company and they encourage others to become involved in their communities in some way. Volunteering to help at the Special Olympics in any state is a great way to get involved in the community.

When you share in the community by donating your time you become far more aware of the struggles and challenges that other people face. You also get to help participate to be part of the solution. Some people may think they would be uncomfortable and feel awkward but people with disabilities are pretty normal, once you get to know them. They have dreams and goals, likes and dislikes, just like anyone else, says Mark Douglas, CEO of SunKiss Villas.

Florida Special Olympic athletes are also offered several health screenings for Vision, Smiles, Hearing, Feet, Skin Care, Blood Pressure, and Bone Density. SunKiss Villas staff helped out in the Healthy Feet section of screening on day one of the Special Olympics. On day two of the event Mark and Dora were Ball Chaser volunteers in one of the six Volley Ball courts while Matthew helped Orange County police officers present medals to some of the winning volley ball teams.

We got our exercise that day but it was fun to watch all the athletes compete. Although Matthew wasnt an athlete he had a great time helping present medals to the athletes. We were only a few people of the many who volunteered. The volunteers come from all over the country and sometimes from overseas. Some of the people who have volunteered have even been guests in our Orlando Vacation Rentals. I think its great that Disney World hosts the Florida Special Olympics at the beautiful ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. It really makes for a fantastic event, says Mark Douglas, CEO of SunKiss Villas.
