Edition 2, Volume 3
January 15, 2008
Welcome to our Newsletter...

    It’s hard to believe – but January is at mid-month. Time is slip slidin’ away, and winter’s winds come and go while our thoughts turn to warm weather, sand, sun and fun. We’re dreaming of spring, but winter has a long way to go so we’ll button up and keep warm until the temperatures rise.

   
We want to thank our Photo Contest winners again! They did a great job with their cameras, and their pictures prove it! We ask everyone to keep sending in their favorite shore photos for 2008, and we’ll have more winners at the end of this year.

   
Readers who get this email every two weeks know that we changed our format with the first issue of the year. Now, you can click on what you want to read about on the newsletter (at the top of the page) and check out all sorts of things.

   
Speaking of readers – send this newsletter to your friends, neighbors, family members, the people where you work, your doctor, dentist, accountant, electrician, plumber, attorney, auto technician, teacher, employees, boss and the whole world. It’s FREE, and it can help them make all of their vacations a lot more fun, as well!

   
You’ll notice if you go to www.GreatVacationGuide.com that we now cover the entire state of New Jersey – every shore and bay town – and we’ll be adding a great deal more information about all the towns as we grow. Great Vacation will also be expanding to cover the U.S., and eventually the world in the future. We’ll keep you informed as we go along.

   
Here in January’s chill we invite you to check out our sister site: www.GreatVacationShoreRentals.com  - it’s your Direct Connection to great accommodations for your vacations in 2008, and in the years to come! It’s not too early to book your place to have fun in the sun this year.

   
On that note: to quote our favorite Vulcan, Mr. Spock – “Live long and prosper!”

Sincerely,
The Staff at Great Vacation / Successful Seasons Inc.
