No Need to Cram for Inauguration Day 2009

Posted by Dorothy | November 12th, 2008

Inauguration Day may seem fast approaching, but Viscape already wrote you the study guide.

For those who missed Obama at Grant Park in Chicago, traveling to the nation’s capitol for January 20th’s inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime history lesson.  Unfortunately, this field trip isn’t as easy as the ones that we experienced in 7th grade social studies.

No permission slip is going to afford you reasonably priced and available shelter, and “Mrs. Jones” won’t be there to hold your hand when you wind up with nowhere to sleep.  If you take a moment to do your homework, you’ll find that Viscape is a treasure chest of great Washington, D.C. Inauguration accommodations.  Think ”Cliff Notes” but for travel.  Our vacation-planning tools will save you time too.

Browse our Washington DC destination page for the latest 2009 Inauguration rental listings. 

  • 1. Rent a home
  • 2. Swap a home
  • 3. Buy a home (if you want to stick around to see Obama through his first term)

Do you live in Washington DC?  Already anxious about the packed metro and clogged roadways to come? If the imminent influx of travelers feels more like after school detention than a pep rally, late January might be a good time to visit your conservative relatives that are always aching to show you Scottsdale.  Get some sun and make some money by putting your house up for rent on Viscape! Or swap and stay somewhere exotic!  Your stoop in Chevy Chase just minutes from the Obama family home (you know, the White House) will be there when you return. 

Stay tuned…in the coming weeks, Viscape will publish additional Inauguration travel tips and provide lists of available and affordable accommodations!

I love Viscape (they even added me to their list of agents on Twitter to follow) but they have no listings for sale or rent in my town and were not even listed as a destination.

Thanks for the love!  

The way our destination process works is: after we receive enough listings for a specific destination, the team gets to work putting together the interactive maps and attractions, photos, and overview to create a brand new destination.  It is as much work as it sounds!  ;) 

Viscape hasn't even been in business for a year, yet, so we didn't want to stare at a bunch of empty destinations in the beginning!  How overwhelming would that have been! 

Instead, we have added destinations over time as we have received listings to fill them!  It is a neverending and ongoing process. 

There are listings that do not have a specific destination page, but can still be found by typing in the city or just zooming out the map.  There doesn't need to be a destination in order to list your properties.  Listings help us figure out what needs to be written and worked on, while still potentially attracting leisure travelers looking for your specific destination (New Orleans, right?) in the meantime.   since it doesn't cost you to upload, and you still have the chance for exposure...well, I consider it a win/win! 

Thanks, Christopher.
