Description

This is your dream vacation! Liz and Chris McCrum have once again donated a one week stay in a charming family house in Cornwall, England, one of the most desirable vacation spots in the UK. Situated in St. Mawes, a thriving village on the Falmouth estuary, the house sleeps five comfortably (no pets please), and has excellent sea views from the upper bedrooms and a pretty terraced garden. The house offers three bedrooms, two baths, a fully equipped kitchen, and washer and dryer. Close to magnificent National Trust properties and gardens, coastal walks with breathtaking views, wonderful beaches, this lovely area affords ample opportunity to rent equipment for sailing, fishing, river cruising, kayaking, and windsurfing. Top-rated hotel restaurants, a 16th century castle, and the village beach are just steps away. You can even use the $200 from the Lincoln School first grade classes for this package to pay off your pub tab. To add to the fun is the wonderful opportunity to tour the town with Sarah and James Williams of Cornwall (and faraway friends of Burlingame!). Visit their 200 year-old family estate and beautiful historic gardens. Coordinate your visit with this lovely family and you will enjoy high tea in true British Style, or have a memorable dinner in a local pub. The village offers traditional Cornish foods as well as local arts and crafts. Take the ferry to Falmouth or hire a car for day trips to Penzance, Tintagle (Arthurian site), and the art galleries of St. Ives. Subject to limited availability in the summer, but good dates are available later in the year or you may arrange a 2007 date with these generous owners. Cornwall is four hours from London by train and six hours by car. Photos of the house are available at www.portscathoholidays.co.uk. -- the house is known as "Milton Minor" on the website. You will have one less thing to worry about on your vacation with this certificate for seven consecutive days of parking at Anza Park & Sky. And finally, you can stay in London before or after your Cornwall vacation at a qualifying luxury hotel using travel points generously donated by the Colson family. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get away -- have the best vacation of your life!
