Attention sunseekers! This is your chance to escape the dreary, grey Portland skies. Slip out of town for a carefree week at the ocean-front Hilton Hawaiian Village Lagoon Tower from December 15th-22nd, 2012 (these dates can be changed). There’s room for four in this luxurious onebedroom condominium with an ocean view. In the bedroom, you’ll find a king-size bed, the living room has a pull-out sofa bed, you’ll also find a full kitchen and a large dining table that seats six. But enough about your elegantly appointed rooms and more about the outdoor fun. Just outside your door sits the widest stretch of the legendary Waikiki Beach as well as a 5-acre salt water lagoon. And if swimming pools are more your style, you’ve got five of them to choose from. And these aren’t just your standard pools, think slides, waterfalls and heated spas. Even though this resort spans 22-acres, has 20 restaurants and 90 shops, you may want to see what else Oahu has to offer. Do a little snorkeling at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, visit the USS Arizona Memorial, admire beautiful Diamond Head and so much more. Start packing your surfboard and snorkel now, you won’t want to miss this vacation! http://www.hiltonhawaiianvillage.com/beach_and_pools/ Available December 15th-December 22nd, 2012...perfect timing for winter break. Expires March 2013. Note: These dates CAN be changed

Sea creatures of every size and color adorn this comfy microfleece twin-size blanket. Swimming in a soft, light-blue background, you’ll spy the childrens’ creations such as coral, octopus, eel, turtle, fish, otter, starfish and whale. Some of these soft, fleecy, ocean-going animals were made by Sarah’s individual students, other, more complicated ones, made by a team of Juniper Room experts. And while each child’s unique work of art shines, you simply can’t miss the ever-present yellow submarine. That’s right, a brightly-colored, Beatles-inspired sea-worthy vessel decorated with each students’ image. Don’t miss this chance to own this unique, comfy, cozy and colorful aquarium on a blanket!
Precious
Thank You The Children of Sarah’s Class

Jump across the pond and enjoy a unique vacation in England’s Lake District. You’ll spend seven nights in a rural cottage - a rather large cottage that can sleep up to 10 guests within its four bedrooms, two baths, spacious kitchen and living areas. Outside the cottage, you’ll find an orchard garden, lawn area and a river - a perfect place to dine al fresco. The countryside surrounding your charming cottage is perfect for touring Lake District National Park - England’s largest, covering 885 square miles. The area is famous for its stunning scenery, so stunning that it has inspired many writers and artists including Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth and Coleridge. You, too, will be inspired by cool, clear lakes and rivers, ancient woodlands, diverse landscape, wildlife, and unique geology and archaeology. There have been people in the Lake District since the end of the last ice age. It is an ideal place for hikers and cyclists. And when you just can’t walk or bike another inch, there are several surrounding towns with abundant shops and restaurants. Take a look at your English cottage online: http://www.cumbrian-cottages.co.uk/property-details.aspx?productid=243324 This package is a seven night, Saturday to Saturday stay. An additional week can be purchased at a 50% discounted rate. Typical summer (high season) weekly rate is $1,200, so you would pay the discounted rate of $600 for the extra week. August 2012 has a wide range of dates available and it’s a great time to be in the Lake District. Based on availability and mutually agreeable dates. Expires March 10th, 2013.
