<description><![CDATA[As we sat in the coffee shop at Powell's we talked about vacations and where we would love to visit. Tuscany was everyone's favorite choice.

One of the figures that I came up with showed that if I had paid for three nights at the hotel in Portland, it would have cost me more than my share of a villa for a week. I shared the information. In those terms, we got serious. We knew that a vacation to Tuscany was possible. ]]></description>

No matter what you are trying to sell, and everyone is selling something, you need to provide the basics of your product or service.
