As May brings sunshine to wipe away the chill o f w inter and bring the
earth back to life, let s not forget that summer is just a touch away One of
the best things about summ ertime, besides good old outside activities, is
summer vacations Let this summer be the one that you w o n 't soon forget
Start planning and saving now. Even if you haven't started, it’s still not
too late
I'd like to destroy the m yth that vacations have to be expensive, for let s
not forget that where there is a w ill, there's always a way Travel is a heal
thy way to rejuvenate the spirit and see how people live in different states
and countries
You II be surprised how people change w ith just a few hundred miles,
traditions, accents, and different points of view Expand your mind
Putting aside one or tw o hundred dollars a m onth really isn t hard Less
trips to M cDonald s and staying in a couple of weekends are good places
to start Air fare is as cheap as if has ever been $49 $99 one way And
Amtrack is offering anywhere in the continental United States for $99 round
trip.
You can call friends or fam ily to stay w ith , or instead o f The Sheraton
or the Hilton, try M otel 6 for less than half the price (They are all over the
country for no more than $24 95 a night I
It does not take an all new wardrobe to have a good tim e either In fact,
some o , the worst dressed people I have ever seen have been tourists
W hen you get where you're going, you can contact the Chamber of Com
merce fo find out about zoos, museums, and other tourist attractions, or
do like I do and ask someone w ho lives there W ho better than a native can
tell you w h a t’s really happening/
Travel w ith a friend It makes things cheaper A nd w hen it comes to
ground transportation, public transit or Rent A W reck w ill do just fine, be
lieve me All in all. good people, I'm encouraging you fo get away and bring
back fresh and new ideas and ideals that will help us all grow and expand
Remember It's yout life. LIVE IT UP
