VAN NUYS, Ca - Summer is here and that means it’s time for the family summer vacation. High gas prices and persistent terrorism fears, however, have many seeking alternative ways to take a vacation this year.  Davis Davis, a former hotel manager, has developed a new vacation concept that he believes provides an excellent solution for vexed vacationers.  His solution?  Stay at home.  Davis’ company, Home Suite Home, comes to your home and turns it into a hotel. When you arrive at your hotel (your transformed home) a bellhop takes your bags to your room; an attendant parks your car; and they even supply a concierge with halitosis to help you plan your day’s activities.

“My wife wanted to go to Hawaii, but we couldn’t afford it,” said Marcus Burnham, a Van Nuys resident.  “They brought Hawaii to us: they spread sand on our patio; brought in some palm trees; and did a fantastic luau in our garage on our last night. It felt just like Hawaii. Well, Hawaii with noisy neighbors and a little smog.”

Another customer, Markel Owen, had a similar positive experience. “They did an Acapulco vacation for us. I got the runs on our second day and our bartender, Raoul, was very generous with his pours,” said Owen.  His wife, Nancy, concurred. “He was generous all right. He was the best bartender I ever had...and all I asked for was 'two fingers plain'..”
