Back from Vacation

It's amazing how much you fall behind when you are away on vacation. We were gone for 7 nights in early October and it took almost 10 days after we got back to get caught up.

So, I'm ready to get posting here again.

We went to Philly and NYC.

Lots of fun.

Southwest does not fly into Palm Springs. They go to the Ontario, California airport (ONT) which is 70 miles or 1 hour interstate driving away. About 50% of our guests use Ontario because it is many times cheaper than the Palm Springs airport, PSP.

When is it the best time to vacation in Palm Springs?

We get the above question every day. And I say the answer depends on where you live and how long you want to get away.

If you live up north in Canada, or the northern US, the best time to getaway is when your weather is the worst. December, January, and February. I always think it is funny having someone from Chicago, New York, Canada, etc. pick March, April, or May for their winter/spring vacations. It is finally getting warm in those months. Getaway now in January and February when the weather is bad at your home. You will enjoy vacation all the more.

Now if you live in the south, I always say getaway in the summer. Come to Palm Springs in June, July, August, Sept, Oct, or November. That's your rainy, tropical storm, hurricane season. Why risk a rained out vacation in Florida, Mexico, or the Caribbean in those months. We have lots of Floridians and Texans book their summer vacations with us as they hate rain on their vacations.

If you are from Southern California, I always say, getaway midweek on Sunday thru Thursday nights for your quick 2 or 3 night breaks (or book a week like so many other people as you won't find a more fun nudist resort anywhere else with our great weather).

We have lots of Southern Californians who want to come out on weekends. I think why fight the traffic, go to crowed restaurants in Palm Springs, deal with crowds on weekends, etc. Instead take a few days off midweek. Use your vacation days to take time off work. All Southern Californians that have come here midweek, never come back on weekends again (unless we have a special event) as they realize how much more relaxing their time is midweek in Palm Springs versus weekends. Also they say they can use weekends for household chores and midweek for themselves enjoying Terra Cotta Inn.

Now of course anytime you can get off of work, is a great time to vacation at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn, clothing optional resort and spa.

So if you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, give us a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Hope to see you in sunny Palm Springs!

And remember, this year support the American nudist resort industry, vacation only at US owned nudist resorts.

Palm Springs airfare sale on Air Canada

Air Canada has a major airfare sale to Palm Springs and the rest of the US. Now Air Canada does not fly into Palm Springs airport. You would have to fly to LAX, or as many Canadian guests do, fly into Las Vegas for the weekend, and then drive into Palm Springs (280 miles or a 4 hour drive) for the rest of their vacation.

Tickets need to be purchased by Thursday December 11th. Don't forget in the months of December and January, we have our annual room sale. Book on a Monday through Thursday and stay 1 night and get the other for half price. And if you stay a week, we take an additional $100 of the already discounted weekly rate.

We have lots of guests from Canada vacation at our resort. We are the most popular nudist destination for Canadians in the western US.

Now is the time to try topless or nude sunbathing. Give us a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Nudist resorts vacations taking off

Nudist resorts vacations are really taking off according to a cheapflights.co.uk survey. Now they mention that Europeans are flocking to nude beaches. This is very true.

What you will find is in the US, we have some of the best nudist resorts in the world because we don't have topless and nude beaches here like Europe has. In Europe, most of their nudist resorts are not upscale like they are in the US, they are campgrounds. The reason is most hotels in Southern Europe already automatically allow topless sunbathing so there isn't the big need for upscale nudist resorts.

The article also touches on one of the biggest areas of growth in the nude recreation industry, the nude vacationer. I would bet if you asked 90% of our guests "are you a nudist, they would all say no." They just love taking vacations in the nude.

This reminds me of a TV film crew at Haulover Beach a couple of years ago, asking nude person, after nude person, after nude person, "are you a nudist." They all said no, we just like nude sunbathing.

Here is the story:

"Cheapflights.co.uk uncovers the naked truth
Research reveals a trend towards nudity as increasing numbers of holiday makers prefer to strip off on the beach.

According to recent figures, participation in nudism is growing by 20 percent annually*. A recent poll from Cheapflights.co.uk also shows that ten percent of its viewers would choose to leave their clothes behind on holiday.

If you’re among those anti-clothing travellers and would like to be fully stripped of your inhibitions by getting your kit off on holiday; follow Cheapflights.co.uk’s latest guide to the world’s best Nude Beaches...

Those who enjoy the offerings of nude or clothing-optional beaches are referred to as either hedonists, naturists or nudists. However, you do not have to be any of the above to enjoy a skinny dip in your birthday suit. Sienna Miller and Britney Spears, who have been spotted on nude beaches the world over, serve as two fine samples of this fact as they certainly don’t fit the naturist category, but clearly enjoy some tan-line free sun.

The next set of rules pertains to behaviour. Gawking, photography, filming and lewd behaviours are not tolerated and will result in the offender being asked to leave. Many nude beaches are also divided into different sections including family, singles, couples, and gay so before you imprint your posterior into the sand, do a bit of investigation to identify your naked preference.

The advantages of getting your kit off are plentiful and include lighter luggage so no excess baggage charges, no concerns over shopping for a new beach wardrobe – good money saved during the current credit crunch, smoother skin as sand is a natural exfoliant, and if you’re in a couple stripping off is proven to heighten sensuality. There aren’t many disadvantages to going nude, but watch out for getting sand up your bum as things could get itchy, and try to avoid all over sunburn, ouch.

Nadine Hallak, Travel Expert for Cheapflights.co.uk says, “Although I don’t personally intend on swapping my bikini for my white bits anytime soon, I have encountered many a skinny dipper in my time and the most important piece of advice I’ve gleaned is that sunblock is essential, particularly for those with sensitive skin like myself..."
