Having scored a primo rental in Arizona Sky Village to watch the Perseid meteor shower this year in August under a nearly Moon-free sky and with a full Moon burning out next year's show, I contemplated an alternative: just for the heck of it, live for a week in an Eichler home.

Between Airbnb.com and HomeToGo.com, I can't find a single one for rent in the three Southern California Eichler neighborhoods of Orange, Granada Hills and Thousand Oaks.  Eichlers for rent are plentiful up in the Bay Area.  An Eichler would make a great home base from which to explore the Bay Area and Silicon Valley.

You'd think the proximity of Orange, California to Anaheim would have inspired at least one owner to tout a Disney tie-in: Visit Disneyland. SLEEP in TOMORROWLAND!

Looks like Geeks, Nerds and Eichler next year, if I can get my sister and her husband to split the rent like this year.
