It is overwhelming to think of the myriad vacation options that exist in this world. If you want to go sit on the beach somewhere, there is a beach with your name on it. If you want to take the kids to an amusement park, there is a roller coaster waiting for your fanny to sit in it. If you want to get away with your significant other and spend a week looking deeply into each other’s eyes, there is a significant other with eyes somewhere out there waiting for your gaze.

It usually happens the first autumn morning when you go outside and your hands instantaneously fell numb. Your breath if visible, you are cursing yourself for forgetting where you put your warm winter jacket and the thought of having to shovel the driveway sends a chill down your spine. You know that winter is still a few weeks away, but there is no avoiding it again this year. Your only escape, other than moving to warmer climes, is to take a vacation. A vacation to someplace where you won’t see your breath and where your hands will not go numb. A place where the sun shines in the winter and where a winter jacket is superfluous. Someplace like Hawaii. Ah yes, Hawaii.
Imagine what it must have been like to have been the first person to slap some wood on his feet and to propel himself down a side of a mountain. The thrill must have been something. According to the experts at Wikipedia, there’s evidence that skiing existed as far back as 5,000 years ago. That means for 5,000 years people have been shredding powder, running into trees and tearing up knees all in the name of the ski adrenaline rush.
Los Angeles might have the star appeal and San Francisco has the impressive sites, but if you are looking for the best city experience in California you need look no further than San Diego.
It doesn’t seem long ago that the Canadian dollar couldn’t buy you the cheapest spot in Monopoly. My how times have changed. The Canadian dollar has leveled against the US dollar and is only getting stronger. What that means for you, dear traveler, is that your vacations to Canada are becoming more and more expensive by the day. That pint of Molson is going to cost more. That gallon of maple syrup is going to eat away at your savings account. The medicines you can’t afford in the US…well, those are still a bargain but not as much as they used to be.
Remember last year when you waited until the last possible second to purchase your tickets for your Thanksgiving and Christmas travel? As your bank account wept, you made a promise to not wait as long next year. You swore that you would get your tickets early so that you wouldn’t have to mortgage the house just to afford a trip during the holidays. You even put a reminder on your Outlook calendar so that you would buy your winter tickets during the summer months.
The vast majority of people who visit Alaska do so during a narrow time window in the summer. That is when the state is alive and when you don’t need to strap on the snowshoes to walk around. The summer is without question a beautiful time to visit the Last Frontier, but those in the know also say that early Autumn is delightful.
The Shenandoah National Park is a great little getaway destination. Located just 90 miles from Washington DC, the park is a different world than the one you find in the nation’s capital. It has a natural beauty that is something behold, and it offers a serenity that is much needed when you spend most of your time in the rat race.
If I were to hand you $50, what would you do with it? You could head down to the local pub and buy 10 really expensive microbrews or 20 cheap beers. You could head to the gas station and pump a tank of gas, assuming you don’t drive one of those tanks I see around town. You could also buy a 30-year treasury bond and hope that you live long enough for it to come to maturity.
If you want to visit the Philippines in comfort and style, travel to Cebu. A long narrow island in the center of the archipelago, Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines. It is the country’s most popular tourist and business destination. It has been developed to attract tourists and as a result it has five-star hotels, casinos, excellent golf courses and restaurants to go along with its white sandy beaches and warm blue waters.
