Valentines Day Gift Ideas

My reservation was from Sunday to Sunday and was booked online directly through the product vendor for Global Resorts Network. It took about 2 minutes to finish securing and paying for the trip. Although a member can book a hot week often as far out as 45 days, this was a last minute vacation idea for my family. What a fun way to finish up the summer before my daughter started back to school. I discovered the availability on a Tuesday afternoon for check in the following Sunday. (I love being flexible so I can grab these deals!)

We arrived late Sunday afternoon. After clearing security at the front gate, we were pointed to the reservation and guest amenity center. We were greeted at the door by staff who showed us where to the check in. It took about 10 minutes to secure our room, get our keys and get to our condo. I was stunned to see how large this vacation complex was. It's a small city!

Following check in, we headed to the local grocery store to stock up for the week.

Our 2 bedroom/3 bath condo was bright and clean with large white tile floors throughout except for the bedrooms and a nice throw rug in the living room (makes good sense in light of the rainy Florida weather and several pools on site). The condo featured a full kitchen and a breakfast bar stocked with dishes, cookware, large and small appliances, just everything you'd need to prepare meals. We enjoyed a washer and dryer and lots of storage closets.

The two bedrooms were separated from each other for maximum privacy and each had their own full baths and double sinks. One room featured two double beds and the other featured a queen with access to the patio. Both had plenty of closet, cabinet and drawer space, night stands, plenty of lighting and TVs. A third guest bath was located off the main living area and featured a tile shower.

The living area was very nice and comfortable, lacking nothing. A beautiful tan leather couch and matching oversized chair were nice to relax on. Just like home, we had end tables, a matching coffee table, large entertainment center and sliding doors to the back patio, beautifully tiled in a Florida burnt orange color. A table and chairs as well as a lounge chair called for outdoor living and being fully screened in overlooking the lake, it was hard to resist. If the weather was too hot, inside we had a beautiful dining area that seated 6 comfortably for meals.

The resort amenities include:

14 swimming pools, children's pools and Jacuzzis
Game Room with high tech video games and air hockey
100 Seat Theater for movies at 3, 5 and 7 pm (changing every day)

Multiple:
Shuffleboard courts
Sand Volleyball counts
Tennis courts
Basketball courts
Horseshoe pits

Also available is an Activity Center
Kids Club
Bike rental
Paddle Boating
Miniature Golf Course

Also on site:

Joe's Marketplace and Deli located at the club house and is open daily. Offers a wide variety of groceries, sandwiches, sundried and one of a kind souvenirs.
Pizza Hut Express for delivery to your condo or poolside.
Joe's Pool Bar for a variety of specialty drinks for enjoyment at the pool.
Photo shop for 1 hour developing
Resort Train to transport guests around the property

The resort offers daily and weekly rates for internet access. We did run into issues with being able to use the internet services. We had to run next door to the Ramada and use their lobby for checking emails as the internet service was not operational during our stay. It was very annoying, but overall, our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. If having access to internet is important, double check with the staff at the resort before you confirm your reservation.

On a final note, the Westgate Vacation Villas would not be a place you would come if you are seeking a quiet romantic private get-away. You won't find that here. There's a lot of action and a lot of families enjoying the amenities and their vacation at Westgate. I loved the family atmosphere and seeing everyone have fun. We were never bothered during our stay and the staff was always friendly and helpful.

The location of the Westgate Vacation Villas are perfect in relation to any of the Orlando/ Kissimmee theme parks, including any Walt Disney Park, SeaWorld, Discovery Cove, and the list goes on. The main gate to Disney World is just one mile away. Also within a few minutes' drive are all the conveniences of home such as major chain grocery stores, the library, 3 Wal-Marts, places like that.

The Global Resorts Network travel club membership allows members to reserve 7 night, 8 day vacations in over 5,000 locations worldwide for as low as $298 and never more than $799, most cap out at $698. Reservations are made right online with a full customer service department to assist if need be. Convenient, easy, fast and over the top customer service make this travel club membership something to write home about. A member will quickly discover that after using the membership just once or twice, they have recouped their investment and now can use it for a lifetime.

With Valentines we think of love and of course that's Amore When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie That's amore. When an eel bites your hand and that's not what you planned That's a moray. When our habits are strange and our customs deranged That's our mores. When your horse munches straw and the bales total four That's some more hay. When Othello's poor wife, she gets stabbed with a knife That's a Moor, eh? When a Japanese knight used a sword in a fight That's Sa...mur...ai. A woman walks into a post office and notices a middle-aged, well-dressed man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. As he seals each envelop he sprays it with a puff of perfume. The woman's curiosity gets the better of her, so she goes up to the man and asks what he is doing. The man replies, "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'" "But why?" she asks. "Because I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies. When was the first Valentine's day celebrated? (I have no original source on this one so it may be fact or fiction.) The lover's holiday has its beginnings in the 4th century B.C. in Rome. The Romans held an annual lottery wherein young men would draw a young woman's name from a box. The couple would be assigned to each other the entire year for entertainment and pleasure. This celebration, traditionally held on February 15, also included banquets, dancing and foot races run in the nude. Around A.D. 496, early church fathers sought an end to the pagan practice, but knew better than to upset the citizens by removing the lottery completely. Instead, they had teenagers pull the names of saints from the box. The teen was supposed to spend the year emulating that saint's life as much as possible, which was probably not as much fun as naked marathons. St. Valentine was chosen as the patron saint of the new event, and young Roman men resorted to courting females by sending handwritten notes delivered on February 14. "I just want to say, "I Love You..." English........... I Love You Spanish.......... Te Amo French........... Je T'aime German.......... lch Liebe Dich Japanese....... Ai Shite Imasu Italian............. Ti Amo Chinese......... Wo Ai Ni Swedish........ Jag Alskar Dig Eskimo.......... Nagligivaget Greek............ S'Agapo Hawaiian....... Aloha Wau la Oe Irish.............. Thaim In Grabh Leat Hebrew......... Ani Ohev Otakh Russian........ Ya Lyublyu Tyebya Albanian....... Une Te Dua Finnish......... Mina Rakkastan Sinua Turkish........ Seni Seviyorum Hungarian... Se Ret Lay Persian....... Du Stet Daram Maltese....... Jien Inhobbok Catalan...... Testimo Molt Redneck .... Nice Tits Interpreting Dreams After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's day. What do you think it means?" "You'll know tonight." he said. That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it - to find a book entitled "The meaning of dreams" Men and Sex A recent study was made to find out what days men prefer to have sex? It was found that men preferred to engage in sexual activity on the days that started with "T": Tuesday Thursday Thanksgiving Today Tomorrow Thaturday and Thunday Kids On Love and Marriage HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? "You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming." Alan, age 10 "No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with." Kirsten, age 10 WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED? "Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then." Camille, age 10 "No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married." Freddie, age 6 HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? "Married people usually look happy to talk to other people." Eddie, age 6 "You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids." Derrick, age 8 WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON? "Both don't want no more kids." Lori, age 8 WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE? "Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough." Lynnette, age 8 "On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." Martin, age 10 WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR? "I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns." Craig, age 9 WHEN IS IT OK TO KISS SOMEONE? "When they're rich." Pam, age 7 "The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that." Curt, age 7 "The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do." Howard, age 8 IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? "I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out." Theodore, age 8 "It's better for girls to be single, but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them." Anita, age 9 "Single is better, for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to change no diapers. Of course, if I did get married, I'd just phone my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper-changing." Kirsten, age 10 HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? "There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?" Kelvin, age 8 "You can be sure of one thing - the boys would come chasing after us just the same as they do now." Roberta, age 7 HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? "If you want to last with your man, you should wear a lot of sexy clothes, especially underwear that is red and maybe has a few diamonds on it." Lori, age 8 "Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck." Ricky, age 10

The essence of pure captivating charm:

Such quality of ecstatic and mesmerizing elegance

Arousing the senses with touchingly precious, and

Inspiring taste of love and devotion for the soul;

The red rose of Valentine. Like the type-

Robert Burns speaks about in his poetic song:

"My Love is Like A Red, Red, Rose."

A gift on Valentine's Day is precious to many souls

A gift of such emblematic taste of pure love;

Remembering Saint Valentine on a day in February

The Patron Saint shrouded in deep unfathomable love

Such inexplicableness of stimulating romance

A loving priest of third century Rome whose actions:

Uplifted love over war, peace over conflict, smile over a frown

A kiss over a wound, a soft touch of love over a blow in agony;

One who reminds us of the melodious words of which

Robert Burns speaks about in his poetic song:

"My Love is Like A Red, Red, Rose."

The charming touch he placed in the hearts of many,

The red kisses on the lips of husbands from loving wives, or

Sweethearts, defying Emperor Claudius II

With wonderful matrimonial unions of great love,

When thrown into jail, a miracle occurred:

He fell in love with his jailor's daughter

Such mysteries of the resonating heart with gushing,

Red flowing blood uplifting the essence of the soul,

Such elegance of taste and residual quality of which:

Robert Burns speaks about in his poetic song:

"My Love is Like A Red, Red, Rose."

Naturally, this is not rocket science embarking on

A lunar landing; however, it's an act of God's open heart,

Blood at the cross washing away any stain! The crimsonness

Which flowed and still flows through such a flower of fragrance

Illuminating the soul. Thus, resulting in 270 AD linking with Calvary's

Cross in a sign of love with such words, "From Your Valentine."

Like manna from heaven and water from a rock,

Relaying the transcendental essence of words which

Robert Burns speaks about in his poetic song:

"My Love is Like A Red, Red, Rose."

Happy Valentine's Day!

Not everyone likes the holiday of love, but I love Valentine's Day. I know it's more of a Hallmark holiday, but I'm cheesy like that. I've been lucky enough to have my valentine for seven years now and only many more years to look forward to. A few years ago when we were in college we decided not to buy each other Valentine's gifts, but instead we had to get creative. There are so many easy Valentine crafts to make out there. I was so proud of what I made.

There is no specific name for what I made, but I'm going to call it a CD ornament. It's so easy to make even your kids can help make it. Here's what you need:

* A blank CD or an old recycled CD

* Pink, Purple and Red Tissue Paper

* Glitter

* Glue

* A photo of you and your valentine

* Magazine cutouts- letters like x and o, hearts, etc.

* Stickers- hearts, kisses, x's and o's

* String

This really does sound like a lot of materials for such a little craft, but you can pick and choose what you want to use and how you want to make it. Easy Valentine crafts to make always involve short and easy steps:

1. Cut or tear tissue paper into little pieces.

2. Roll each piece of tissue paper into a ball.

3. Put a dab of glue on either side of the CD. Make sure you only do this around the edges.

4. Glue the rolled pieces of tissue paper onto the CD creating a circle around the whole thing.

5. You can then glue your picture in the middle of the CD or on the other side with a cute little message.

6. Take you magazine cutouts and glue them on CD.

7. Place stickers anywhere you wish.

8. Dab glue in any spot to apply the glitter.

9. Once it's all dry you can then thread the string through the middle of CD and tie for a loop

10. Hang anywhere you wish.

Keep in mind you can add whatever embellishments you wish. You can use the magazine letters to write little notes like I love you or Be Mine. I loved making this craft because not only was it super cheap, but it had meaning behind it. Handcrafting is always the most precious gift you can give. If you have a better idea or something even craftier let me know!
