Retire Happily Next Year!
By Michael Masterson

Close your eyes. No, don't do that. You won't be able to read this.

Let's start over. Picture yourself enjoying your ideal retirement. What are you imagining?

  • Perhaps you're standing knee-deep in a Montana river, fishing for trout.
  • Or strolling through the cobbled streets of Prague, browsing art galleries.
  • Or reading Faulkner on the back porch, listening to the sounds of your grandchildren playing in the yard.

How does that feel?

Pretty good, huh? But chances are your actual retirement will be quite different. For one thing, you may not be able to afford to travel in Prague. It may be Orlando instead. And those kids playing in your yard? They will likely to be your great-grandchildren. Why? Because you're probably going to retire a lot later than you think. Read on…

GRAS Announces Free Telescope Time Offer on GRAS-013 (G13) - Take Control of a Ground-Based, Hubble Space-Like Telescope System

GLOBAL-RENT-A-SCOPE (GRAS), internationally recognized as one of the first commercial networks of its kind, announced a special free, limited time offer. Take the control of a ground-based, Hubble-like remote imaging telescope system located in Australia and capture your own deep space images for free (limited access to G13).

 The global network of GRAS of telescopes is world class in every respect. My first experience of the G13 telescope in South Australia produced an awe-inspiring image of the Triffid Nebula. 

Fountain Valley, CA (PRWEB) August 4, 2008 -- Today, GRAS announced an extension of the exciting free, special offer. This will be the first time in the recorded history of humankind, where anyone, with an Internet connected computer, located anywhere on the Earth, will be granted free access to a GRAS remote Telescope. This robotic astronomical ground-based, Hubble-space-telescope-like system, designated as G13, is located in Australia.

Designed for ease of operation, even a child with little or no previous experience can take command of the controls of this ground-based remote astronomical telescope system. All GRAS remote telescope systems operate in a very similar concept to the Hubble space telescope, with the notable exception that these system are ground based.

Observers will marvel over the elegant interface and simple to use controls. Those that take advantage of this free offer will be able to take personal control of the telescope system and capture their own deep space images. This is a special limited offer that may expire at any time. Please be sure to check the time in Australia prior to beginning your imaging sessions. G13 will only operate correctly when it is dark and with weather permitting.

With all of this going on in one Pacific Island, travelers will want to check the constantly updated weather feature at Hawaiian Beach Rentals.com. Having information about current weather conditions makes is easier to plan trips and activities in Hawaii.

The state of the art features of Hawaiian Beach Rental.com's updated web site allow travelers to secure a vacation condo online, make travel arrangements, rent a car, get maps of Kauai and other islands, and check Hawaii's weather all in one place.
