According to the Temecula Valley Wine Growers Association, the name Temecula comes from the Native American name for the region which was Temeku. Temeku, they say, means “the place where the sun shines through the mist.” These days, that sunshine is more likely than not, falling on vineyards. Of the Temecula Valley’s 33,000 acres, 1300 are currently operating commercial vineyards and another 5000 are designated as a protected Citrus/ Vineyard Zone in which rural agriculture is strongly encouraged.

The climate is nearly perfect for a wide range of wine varieties, including varieties favoring cold, medium, and warm temperatures. 30 different wineries operate in Temecula Valley producing literally hundreds of varieties of wine. Many of these wineries produce relatively small quantities of artisan quality wines. Wine tasting tours through Temecula Valley are a constant draw for both tourists and Californians driving over to the valley from nearby Los Angeles or San Diego.

The valley is just 22 miles from the ocean. Pacific breezes flow through Temecula Valley, keeping it relatively mild in temperature and contributing to the successful growing of a broad range of grapes, from the cold-loving Riesling to the Syrah which thrives in warmer climates. Not only do both cold and warm climate grapes survive in the Temecula Valley, but the wine across this full spectrum routinely win critics acclaim as well as serious competitions against wines from other regions. Californian wines are winning renown throughout the world for their fine quality and Temecula Valley vintages are frequent standouts and gold medal winners in statewide competitions against the best the state has to offer.

For those wishing to make a vacation get-away of wine-tasting, Temecula offers a selection of bed and breakfast inns in which to stay while making day trips to wineries throughout the valley. Not only is Temecula call Wine Country, but Temecula is also horse country. Those spending a few days in the valley should make sure they take advantage of the opportunity to take one of the leisurely guided trail rides offered by several Temecula area horse ranches.

If you get tired of sipping wine in the beautiful gardens of the local wineries (as if that might happen…), Temecula also has 8 local golf courses, a full scale casino, a full range of water sports on its lakes, and is well-known for its aerial sports as well. The valley offers excellent hang-gliding opportunities with the valley’s rising thermals to keep gliders aloft. Temecula also hosts an annual hot air balloon festival in which balloonist from all over the country come to participate. Many of Temecula’s many visitors time their tour of the valley to coincide with the balloon festival for the opportunity to see dozens of the giant lighter than air craft rise into the sky together.

While there are plenty of things to do in Temecula without every setting foot on a winery or vineyard, Temecula is Wine Country and it would be almost criminal not to take a tasting tour while there.

Some of the world’s most beautiful scenery can be found along California’s Coastal Highway with the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean on one side and the cliffs and mountains on the other. The views are so sublime that people travel from all over the country to drive along the Pacific Coast Highway. For those who live on the Coast of California, it’s just another perk.

Encinitas residents can just hop in the car, go for a drive, find a place to park, and watch the sun go down over the ocean waves whenever they feel like it. If they don’t feel like driving they can just head down to one of the city’s six world class beaches with a cooler full of cold beverages and a beach chair to just take it all in. Couples, of course, may prefer to watch the sunsets while walking hand in hand along the beaches. Even the younger set can’t help looking back over their shoulders as they sun sets and they lie on their surfboards waiting for the next wave.

The scenery and the beaches of Encinitas have attracted a number of rich and famous residents who could live anywhere in the world. Actors Richard Dreyfuss and Marion Ross (Mrs. Cunningham of Happy Days) live in Encinitas, as do several members of the band Switchfoot and Tom DeLonge of Blink-182. Although the most famous musician living in Encinitas is probably Joe Walsh of The Eagles. From the world of sports former Major League Baseball pitcher Jack McDowell and the owner of the Las Angeles Lakers, Jerry Buss , are residents of Encinitas, California.

As if the scenery weren’t enough of a reason to move to Encinitas, the weather is about as close to perfect as it can get. The city’s proximity to the ocean and the air coming in off the Pacific keeps it from getting either too hot or too cold. Average month temperatures range from a low of 48 degrees in January to a high of a fraction over 79 degrees in August. Rain is largely concentrated in the months of February, November, and December, with less than an inch of rainfall on average in each of the other 9 months of the year.

Encinitas is just about 25 miles away from San Diego, for those looking for a employment, the city is within easy commuting distance. Encinitas’s largest industry, as you could probably guess, is the rather sedate occupation of growing flowers. Encinitas is famous for growing Poinsettias that get shipped all over the country.

In 2000, the year of the last census, Encinitas had a population of just over 58,000 people, living in 22,800 households. The median household income was $63,954 in the same year, although 2007 estimates had household income rising substantially to a little over $79,000.

Encinitas is an easy-going community that fits its image as the surfing capital of the world.

Nashville, Tennessee is synonymous with country music. The two can hardly be separated, and rightly so. From the early days of the Grand Ole Opry, Nashville has been the launching point of hundreds and hundreds of top country music singers and songwriters. Nashville is even the home of Country Music Hall of Fame and the annual Country Music Association Music Festival. For most cities, having a near monopoly on one of the nation’s most popular genres of music would be enough, but Country Music is just one of the performing arts that is thriving in Nashville.

While the Grand Ole Opry was original named as a parody of the perceived haughtiness of the real Opera, the Nashville Opera Association is a successful professional Opera company based in Nashville. The company performs a number of productions each year at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. The performances of previous seasons are even rebroadcast on the Nashville Public Radio station WLPN 90.3 FM.

The Tennessee Performing Arts Center is a multi-function venue. In addition to serving as the home of Nashville Opera Association, the building hosts the Nashville Ballet. The Nashville Ballet became a professional company in 1986 just five years after its founding. The Nashville Ballet also takes part in an outreach program to area schools which have brought Ballet to more than 61,000 residents of Tennessee (in addition to those who attend the shows).

Theatre is also well represented in Nashville, and at the busy Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) which also houses the Tennessee Repertory Theatre, and the Nashville Children’s Theatre. The actual performances of the Tennessee Repertory Theatre company take place on the stage of the Andrew Johnson Theater, one of four theaters and auditoriums at the TPAC.

The Nashville Zoo at Grassmere is a world class operation on 188 acres of land. The facility’s main exhibits include an African Savannah, Gibbon Island, The Bamboo Trail and The Unseen New World. As you’d expect from a large zoo, there are tigers, elephants, giraffes, alligators, and many other species. Additionally, the Nashville Zoo has an exhibit of the rare red panda and is an active participant in the National Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan which seeks to ensure survival and genetic diversity of rare and endangered animal species.

The Tennessee State Museum, The Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, as well as several university art galleries and numerous civil war museums and monuments throughout the city also make strong contributions to Nashville’s rich and varied culture. Nashville is also home to the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, and the NHL’s Nashville Predators.

On the commercial side, Nashville is sometimes referred to as the Health Care Capital of the World with more than 250 health care companies located in the Nashville area including several of the country’s largest.

While Nashville is country music, it also offers well rounded and prolific cultural and artistic venues and events to satisfy the needs of the city’s more than one and a half million residents.

When an employee receives a relocation package from a new employer, it is usually something less than a stress-free transition period which was after all part of the reason for the relocation package in the first place. Sure, the employee gets compensated for expenses associated with the relocation eventually, but all the arrangements and tedious details are left for the new employee to deal with.

The employee must still find temporary living arrangements in a city with which they are completely unfamiliar. They have to arrange for telephone, internet, and other utilities. They have to find convenient restaurants in which to eat every day. Most importantly, they need to make sure they keep every receipt and fill out the proper paperwork in time to be reimbursed. Even with reimbursement, the employee, who is just taking a new job and may have either been out of work or may have taken a couple weeks off, has to shell out the cash for all these expenses out of his or her own pocket and wait, often weeks, to be reimbursed.

Instead of removing pressure from the incoming employee to allow them to focus on learning the ropes at the new company, all these details can distract them from the job they were hired to do for months after they are hired. Likewise, from the company’s perspective, someone needs to approve every receipt, process it, and spend good company time attending to the administrative details of the new employee’s relocation.

That’s the way it used to be, before one company decided to step up and make it better for everyone involved. Wynne Residential Corporate Housing saw the problems inherent in the way things were currently being done and decided to differentiate themselves with a new way of handling relocation packages. They developed a one call service. The hiring company makes a single call to Wynne, and Wynne takes care of everything else. At the end of the day, housing, utilities, and even phone service is billed directly to the company on a single invoice. There are no out of pocket expenses for the employee, no processing of piles of receipts, and no worries. The employee isn’t left to search an unfamiliar city for a month to month apartment or hotel room. Wynne contacts them and takes care of all the details.

Wynne’s corporate housing units come complete with full kitchens so the employee can buy groceries and eat in, just as they would in their own home. This reduces meal cost and reduces the amount of time the employee has to spend on meals as well. The temporary apartments come with everything needed to move in and live comfortably, pots and pans, silverware and even bed linens and towels are provided. The employee is left free to concentrate on the important things, like integrating with the new company and getting off to a fast start on their new job.

Wynne Residential Corporate Housing saw a problem in their industry and decided that business as usual wasn’t good enough. By differentiating themselves with service, Wynne has become a leader in the corporate housing industry.
