Great Way to Travel

Karen | travel | Tuesday, 08 July 2008

Since beginning our discussion of vacation, I have heard of more people who will be on vacation the same time we will be on vacation. One gal mentioned using the JFK airport car service because she was going to Hawaii. I am so jealous! She picked a great way to make her trip hassle free. She won’t have to worry about fighting traffic and finding a place to park. She will not have the cost of parking her car and worrying about whether it will start when she gets back from her trip. That is the best way to get to and from the airport.

When my sisters and I flew out of Chicago’s O’Hare airport a few years ago, we used a car service. It was so nice to let someone else worry about getting us to the airport on time. We sat back and laughed while riding in a limo.

Rafting on the River

Oh wow! I am so excited. We have decided to go white water river rafting on our vacation. I happened to mention to the lady who owns the kennel where we board our dogs that we were going to Tennessee. She said she just got back from there and had gone rafting. That got the ball rolling!

So Much to Do

Karen | travel | Monday, 07 July 2008

This is the last week until our vacation! I knew that it would come quickly once we turned our calendar to July. We have rented a four bedroom cabin in the mountains of Tennessee. My sister and I stayed in cabin in the same area last March when we attended the quilt festival. Most have a full kitchen, fireplace and a jacuzzi. This one has all of those amenities. I am not sure how much we will be at the cabin though. There is so much to do in the area around Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We may need to check into a car hire service to get all of us to our different destinations. I like the Argus Car Hire Service because they get the best prices for us. They have over 450 car rental suppliers to choose from in over 12,000 locations worldwide.

Some of us are looking forward to going to our favorite quilt shop. We gravitate to the Cherry Pit in Pigeon Forge and become inspired. They have quilts hanging everywhere. Their purse display is what got me interested in making bags.

We have been checking into white water rafting. Have any of you done this activity? I am wondering if my back can stand the pounding.

Of course there are the outlet malls and scrapbooking stores to check out. I hear that there is a casino close by. I think the week is going to go by quickly.

Missed It

When our kids aren’t around, hubby and I are so lazy! We were content to sit in our lodge room and watch a movie on the Hallmark channel instead of going to see the fireworks. Our town has a pretty decent fireworks display. We should have supported it but I was sewing and hubby was relaxing and so we stayed put.

What is the most fantastic fireworks display you have ever seen?

Want to Cruise?

Karen | travel | Wednesday, 02 July 2008

We have friends who absolutely love to go on cruises. They like going to bed in the wee hours of the morning and waking up in a different port. They can tell you which cruise lines they have enjoyed and why. I suggest using Cruise Locators.com when looking for cruise specials. They represent cruise lines from the river and small ship cruise lines all the way up to the luxury cruise lines. They have the ability to offer the best value when shopping for a cruise. Get more for your money by checking with Cruise Locators.com. Their website has so many offers from which to choose. You can even choose a theme cruise. Take advantage of their expertise and first hand knowledge to get the cruise of which you have dreamed.
