Need to plan a last minute cruise do ya?
Vacation Close to Home
I read an article in our local paper that said travel is down due to the price of gasoline. I can believe that. It cost me at least $200 to drive to Pigeon Forge and back last week. It is something we all think about, especially if we are on a budget. If it comes to buying groceries or going on vacation, I think we all know that groceries will have to be bought.
There are other ways to vacation. We have lovely hotels in our area that would love to have our business. We could spend the weekend enjoying the hot tub and not having to make our own bed.
The Holiday Inn in Indianapolis has a new water play center that is attracting many who do not want to drive any farther than they have to. They had a big ad in our newspaper and we live 2 hours away. It looks awesome. It has water slides and even has a pirate ship. I think it would be amazing and inexpensive to stay there.
Is there no other way to travel except by car? I love to take a holiday by train. The country trains (regional) and the interstate trains are all so comfy and I can look out the window as I go. I get a real sense of traveling that way.
Sometimes I just take off for a weekend

We have been taking our vacations locally as well. Even a couple hours away makes a big difference. I dont see us Flying anywhere anytime soon

Lovely, travelling by car is really exciting. We can have our own stops in between as we like and enjoy in our own way.
