I'm offering my friends and guests a number of services, including car, motorcycle and bike rental.

After your long flight why not arrive to find a basic grocery package in your Vacation Home's pantry with all the necessary grocery items for an arrival meal of your choice. Tell me your request. With your initial shopping request make sure to order enough to get yourself through breakfast the next day so that you don't have to rush out too early on the first morning of your holiday to shop.

 For more information, please contact me.

Do flying fish fly?

Flying fishYes and no. Flying fish can break through the surface of the water and fly distances of up to 100yd at about 30 mi/h, but they do not actually fly the same way as birds, because birds vibrate their wings during flight. Instead, the flying fish gets its power and speed from its tail fin, which it moves from side to side with powerful strokes.
