How can you get a major adrenaline rush driving at one mile per hour? I recently
had the opportunity to attend the Land Rover Experience Driving School at the
beautiful Quail Lodge in Carmel, California.
With a professional driving instructor by my side, I learned how to navigate incredible
off-road obstacles. Descents down extremely steep hills, side tilts (yes, having the
car literally tilted sideways on an angle), and rock crawls were
a part of the excitement. The 2008 Range Rover that I drove overcame all of the challenges with grace and ease.
I must admit it was a little unnerving to start the vehicle down a scary steep hill without using any brakes, but
the amazing Hill Descent Control (HDC) technology activated and I was able to glide to the bottom. Very impressive.
One can start with a Lesson to learn the basics, and then graduate to a Trails class to practice
skills on more difficult terrain.
Pricing starts at $225 for a one-hour Lesson, $325 for a two-hour Lesson, and $325 for a two-hour
Trail. Full day experiences are available. For more information, visit the
Land Rover Driving
Experience School online.. There are also locations at the Equinox Resort in Vermont,
the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and at the Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello in Canada.

As the weather starts to cool outside, how would you like to enjoy an exclusive winter escape to Wynn Las Vegas? Sound like fun? Check out this promotion that I just received in my inbox. You can enjoy a Resort Room for $169/night Sunday through Thursday and $259/night on Fridays and Saturdays. A Suite upgrade is available for an additional $230/night.
As always, there is some fine print. This offer is available on select dates November 14, 2008 through February 26, 2009. It is not available November 17-18, December 4-8, 26-31, 2008; January 7-10, 19-24, 30-31; Feb 2-7, 12-14, 16-18, 2009.

Exciting news crossed the AP Newswire this morning that the 2009 Michelin guidebook for Las Vegas has given its top hotel rating to Wynn Las Vegas. The Wynn earned the guide's top honor of five red pavillions, which it shares with eight other hotels in North America. "Wynn's posh playground leaves little to be desired," the guide said.

Telling The Story-Luxury Home Marketing With Video

How do you capture the magic of an exceptional luxury home and convey that to prospective
buyers? They say that a picture is worth a thousand words; however, in most cases, that
is not enough. Sometimes there is a story that needs to be told about what makes a home
special and the place where you want to live. It needs to be able to leap off the page and
become alive.
I use video to tell that story. It needs to be more than a walk through of
the property with a musical score. I come up with a story board to outline the flow, then work
with the production team to spin the tale.
Please watch this video that I had produced for one of my client's homes. It shows the story of
how my clients shed blood, sweat, and tears to add beauty, elegance, and simplicity to their
Silicon Valley home. Not only does it showcase their efforts, but it features many of the reasons why their
Morgan Hill neighborhood is a great place to live. It is a powerful message that you cannot tell with pictures,
brochures, or other conventional marketing techniques.
Does this type of innovative marketing appeal to you? Please contact me and let's see how
we can tell the story of your exceptional home.
