Single Parents Ring in the New Year with a Fab Family Weekend in Solvang, CA

 

Secaucus, NEW JERSEY (November, 2003) — New Year’s resolutions for single parents can include fun travel opportunities this year, as Brenda Elwell, author of The Single Parent Travel Handbook and the nation’s leading expert on single parent travel brings announces a fun weekend trip this winter to the picturesque Danish town of Solvang, CA (Feb. 20-22).  Single Parent Tours does not charge a single supplement, nor will single parent families feel like the ‘odd man’ out in a sea of double parent families or swinging singles. Elwell will accompany the families and offer parents tips for traveling with their kids.

 

The Solvang weekend, which starts at $471 for one adult and one child, plus tax & service, includes:

v      Two nights accommodations at the Royal Copenhagen, one of Solvang's oldest and most charming inns.

v      Welcome reception and get-together Friday evening

v      Continental breakfast at Mortensen’s bakery Saturday and Sunday mornings.

v      Two free wine tastings

v      Tickets for a Saturday morning performance of The Flying Leap Storytellers (geared toward children).

v      Afternoon two hour lake cruise on a 47 passenger pontoon boat, with a naturalist guide. This is the migrating season for many birds.

v      Casual catered poolside bar-b-que dinner at the hotel.

v      A signed copy of The Single Parent Travel Handbook

 

The Single Parent Tours inaugural trip to Beaches Boscobel Resort in Jamaica during August was a rousing success. Forty-two single parent families attended from all over the USA, and many new friendships were formed. Six families came from the Los Angeles area, met and became friends, and asked GlobalBrenda to create a Single Parent getaway weekend near Los Angeles.  Hence, the origin of the Solvang trip.
