NOVEMBER WEEKEND - ROCKING HORSE RANCH RESORT - NY
Next month we will announce the November weekend dates for Rocking Horse. Below are just two of the emails I received from participants on our fun-filled April weekend:

Christine wrote: "I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic weekend at RHR. I am still gushing about what a wonderful time my daughter and I had. I met some great people and will definitely be back in the fall or spring. (or both). This is a wonderful service you provide and I genuinely thank you!"

Rosemarie wrote: "I wanted to thank you for organizing such a fun weekend for Tristan and myself. We simply loved visiting The Rocking Horse Ranch. I have to tell you on the way home Tristan said "Mommy, I loved this trip so much, it was better than Disney World!" We'll probably go back again later this year. I'm also writing to ask about that mining place you had mentioned. Tristan is very interested in that as well. Thank you and Happy Trails."

The Schooner Gam on Penobscot Bay (Rockland, ME)

Capt. Brenda G. Walker is inviting single parent families to join her on the evening of June 18th through June 21st for a Schooner Gam. The cruise gives you a great opportunity to see all the schooners in the Maine windjammer fleet. Enjoy a trip filled with exciting sailing, new friends, informal fun, quiet evenings, hearty meals and a relaxing view of Maine coastal islands! The regular fare is $500 per person but for children traveling with a single parent the fare is only $300 (so the total for one adult and one child is $800 instead of $1,000). This fare includes taxes and all meals from breakfast on the 19th to brunch the last day (the 21st). One meal during the trip is their famous lobster bake on an uninhabited island.

As well as a Sci-Fi Space Camp and a special Lord of the Rings themed tour. The company offers discounts for single parents with more than one child. Lynn emailed us stating that they do not charge a single supplement if a child is booked in the same room, but we were not able to verify that as their Web site says 'based on double occupancy'.
