Samantha Brown Says “tune In”

Samantha said something that made me stop and think⦠she was talking about the reasons why people travel and why they take vacations. She said “most people take a vacation to tune out but what they really should be doing is tuning in⦠to their family, their partner, their friends and to themselves.”
I have to admit it stopped me for a moment and then I thought “wowâ¦she’s absolutely right”. It also made me realize that what we do at Florida Leisure Vacation Homes is exactly that.  We provide people with fantastic vacations and fantastic vacation homes so that they can spend quality time with the people they love the most⦠so they can “tune in” to each other.
It occurred to me that even though hotels can provide the same experience to a degree they can’t quite provide the intimacy that a vacation home provides. Hotels, you see, have other people involved. Other people at the pool, other people in the dining room, other people wandering around the corridors and hallways⦠and other people in places you just don’t want to see them.
Vacation homes, on the other hand, provide a completely relaxing and totally private atmosphere for all the family to enjoy. Everyone gets their own spaceâ¦i.e.., 1) their own bedroom (no cramped hotel room where everyone falls over each other⦠or fights for the tv remote⦠yeah, I know⦠I have that battle with my kids every time we have to stay in a hotel room ) , 2) their own living room where they can watch TV as a family or they can retreat to their own bedroom and watch something else, 3) they can cook or eat what they like in their own fully equipped kitchen with no lines⦠no bad service to encounter⦠and they can save heaps of moneyâ¦. big bonusâ¦eat what you want, when you want and at a price you can afford! 4) and best of all, their own private swimming pool to do exactly what they wish without having to worry about perfect strangers getting in the way.
Yeah that’s right. People vacationing in a home get all that⦠time to “tune in” to their loved ones and time to “tune in” to themselves”.
The other thing that Samantha said was “How does a place make you feel⦠what is the emotional value of a place?” and that set me thinking of some of the great feedback and comments we have had from our guests and members. Comments like this from Geneva Ormond from Illinois, Chicago who said:
“I love retirement & that is why I love Florida Leisure Vacation Homes. We come down to relax, rest & recreation. The house is so large, all the family can enjoy without being stacked on top of each other. Some can swim, others can cook or BBQ, watch TV in each room. I just love it & the house is awesome.”
or Pat Scott from Columbus, Ohio who said:
“We really love the house & location to Disney World. The house has all the comforts of home & my family truly enjoyed the time we spent there. All and all it was fantastic. When our friends see our vacation pictures I expect you will be getting bookings.”
or Jack Greenhalgh from Williamsburg, VA who commented:
“The house was perfect for the family. The location was terrific, allowing us to easily bring the kids to the house for lunch & a pool romp before going back to the park.”
and it’s when you read comments like this⦠plus the hundreds and hundreds of others we have collected⦠that you really realize what this company and what the people who work for it are all about. We’re giving people wonderful experiences and memories that will last forever. Sometimes when we’re going about our normal lives we forget that⦠so today, thanks to Samantha Brown⦠I’ve had a jolt that brought me back to my roots⦠it’s great to do something in life that makes other people’s lives better. Thanks for the reminder Samantha⦠it was great to meet you⦠I look forward to the next time.

A Biography of Samantha Brown

A Biography of Samantha Brown
Samantha Brown was born on the 31st of March 1969 in Dallas, Texas. She attended Syracuse University and has a history of doing commercials. For her honeymoon, she went to the lovely Key West in the USA, which was one of the places she has featured in her shows. Some of her most notable works in travel journalism include Great Hotels, Passport to Europe (Seasons 1 and 2) and, more recently, Passport to Latin America.
The following is an article and an interview with Samantha Brown published by the Travel Channel.
“Passport to Europe Wins Emmy
Congratulations to Samantha Brown and her crew for winning the Emmy for ‘Outstanding Lifestyle Directing” at the 34th Annual Creative Arts & Entertainment Emmy Awards. Below is a comment from Samantha.
“We got the news last night (6/14) – we were in our hotel bar having a wrap of Mexico City drink. Many of us had retired to our hotel rooms to pack for leaving the next day or just go to bed. Joan McCord (Director) got the news and so of course we changed from our PJ’s back into our clothes and went back down to the bar so we could order a couple of bottles of Champagne. We are all absolutely thrilled… beyond thrilled to be recognized this way. PineRidge and Travel Channel now have TWO EMMY’s for Great Hotels and Passport to Europe. Not bad at all.”
——————————————————————————–
For the past few years, Samantha has been traveling the United States, Europe and Latin America; hanging out in vacation homes; hopping in and out of great hotels, and even hula dancing in Hawaii. But what’s the story behind the traveler? Well, we don’t know, but we did ask her a few personal questions.
Q: So Samantha, besides being a “Travel Goddess” (a title bestowed upon you by an avid viewer of your show), what are some of your other hobbies?
Biking, photography and wine tasting. (No, I’m not a lush. Well … OK, maybe I am.)
Q: From which side of the family do you get your witty humor? Have you ever thought about doing comedy yourself?
Definitely from my father. He has an unbelievably dry sense of humor. My sisters and I truly felt loved when he picked on us. When I was around 12, a young boy called me and my dad got on the phone and thanked him for calling because I didn’t have many friends. I thought it was hysterical – the young boy did not. I have never seriously considered stand-up comedy because my humor comes out of reacting off other things or people. I don’t think I could generate it myself.
Q: What’s your favorite movie?
Cinema Paradiso. The best ending in a movie ever.
Q: Do you sing in the shower? If so, what’s your favorite band/performer or song?
Barry Manilow. If I’m in a good mood, it’s “Can’t Smile Without You,” and if I’m feeling sappy, it’s “Weekend in New England.”
Q: What’s the coolest extra-special touch you’ve experienced at a hotel?
At the Grand Floridian in Disney World, housekeeping folds your hand towels into little animals like ducks and bunnies. They then put things like your toothbrush and styling gel in them, so that when you walk into your room you have all these cute critters greeting you. It’s a very heartwarming touch.
Q: It appears that you have an affinity for nice hotel bathrooms. Why do you love them so much, and what would find in the ideal hotel?
A great bathroom is essential to a great hotel. Lighting is key. We need lighting that makes us look and feel good. You don’t want to start the day thinking, “Boy, I look terrible.” In an ideal bathroom, I would find an extra-deep bath and a lot of counter space for all those products and vitamins. I love it when hotels incorporate drawer space under the sink; then I can store things in them so the counter remains uncluttered, and I won’t be knocking things over when I brush my teeth. One of my biggest disappointments is when the bathroom has a separate shower, but there is no shelf to put shampoo, razors etc., so you have to keep bending down to pick the stuff up. By the time I’m done it feels like I’ve done aerobics, and at 6 a.m.
Q: Where would you build your dream vacation home? What would be special or unique about it?
On the coast of Maine, in Kennebunkport or Kittery Point. It would be a traditional seacoast home with a big porch that looked out over the ocean or an inlet. It would be for friends to come and enjoy weekends together. The focus would be a big open kitchen with a long kitchen table and fireplace.
Q: If you were stranded on a tropical island, what three items would you want to have with you?
Sunglasses, a good cutting knife and my boyfriend.
Q: If you could go back to Hawaii, what would you like to do or see?
I would like to go back to Molokai. We were there for only a few days, so I wasn’t able to truly explore. It’s a much more intimate island than the others, very few tourists. There are only a few streetlights, so at night the stars are spectacular. At Molokai Ranch, they offer night mountain biking under the stars. I would love to get a chance to do that.
Q: While at home or by yourself, away from the camera, do you find that you still talk out loud?
No, I’m by nature a very quiet person and often get quite annoyed with myself during shooting because I get so sick of hearing myself talk. So when I have a break, during shooting or at home, I just like to chill out.
Q: If you could travel back in time to any period in history, when and where would it be?
Turn of the century in New York City. New York is such an unbelievable city. I would love to go back in time to when it was just beginning to show its true greatness as a world-class town.
Q: Do you eat pizza with your hands or with a knife and fork?
Why would you eat pizza with a knife and fork?
Q: Do you like your Chinese food spicy or not spicy? What city has better Chinese food, New York or San Francisco?
Spicy. I didn’t have the chance to eat Chinese in San Fran. New York Chinese is OK, but you really have to know where to go. There are a lot of bad Chinese food restaurants out there.
Q: If you could have dinner with any three people (living or nonliving), who would you like at your table?
Christiane Amanpour, the CNN war correspondent, Stevie Nicks and one of my girlfriends (so we could freak out together about who we just had dinner with).
Q: As a frequent female traveler, what’s an important tip you can offer to others?
I’m on long flights a lot, so I carry a small travel care kit. It contains lotion for my hands, face cream, aspirin, lip balm, an eye mask and earplugs. I have a carry-on case that I use to prop up my feet and create my own “La-Z-Boy” reclining chair. And I always bring a freshly made sandwich from my local deli, so I can avoid airplane food. When it comes to your care kit, have two of everything. Two razors, two shampoos, two nail clippers, etc. Keep one set for home and the other for travel, so you don’t have to keep packing and unpacking it.”
