The best summer vacation I ever had was when I went to the Grand Canyon with friends. It was amazing. Huge! There was so much to see, so far to see. I enjoyed being able to take in a ton of different details with such a grand view, as opposed to the kind of view you might get driving through a city. Everywhere you look, there’s a wall. Bam! Your field of vision ends. But not at the Canyon. It was magnificent.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to go to India. I wonder how much flights to India cost? I know! I’ll bet they don’t cost much at all, when you book through DialAflight…

Wow! It’s finally starting to feel like spring. I can’t believe how long it took for the snow to melt! It was like it turned to ice! But now that the weather’s better, it’s time to make the most of it with a spring vacation.

The greatest spring vacation I had while visiting Chicago was pretty simple. A few friends and I took our time visiting the major sights, but really spent most of the break in all the great local restaurants. Boy, there sure is a lot of good food to choose from in Chicago! Great hot dogs, great pizza, great everything! Mmm, mmmm….

Some people, finding out that there isn’t an annual Ferris Bueller parade, need a little help finding things to do in Chicago. Like maybe sightseeing tours?

Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger said “I need a vacation,” in “Terminator 2?” Well, so do we all! And whenever we go on one, we learn a lot about how to make it just a tad better. Like, “Next time we’ll stay at the other place,” and “I wish we would have [blank].” Those tidbits of information are highly valuable to prospective vacationers that haven’t cleared their schedules yet, which is why WeNeedaVacation.com exists!

I was once vacationing in Atlanta, and I had this crazy experience. I was walking down a street with some friends, and all of a sudden we hear kids laughing from nearby, and the sound of water running. A little bit closer we could see they were playing on a Slip ‘N Slide. But it wasn’t a real Slip ‘N Slide! It was trash bags and a hose!

It was funny. I guess those kids got brainwashed by the ‘ol TV and begged and begged for “Slip ‘N Slide!” “Slip ‘N Slide!” Until finally someone had enough and went to the trouble of making their own.

So now you know, world, the secret formula behind homemade Slip ‘N Slides. Next week, the secret method for preparing a meal of blowfish.

Lucky for me, I didn’t require a list of things to do in Atlanta at the time. I was having too many crazy experiences (one after another, left and right!) to bother to worry about family vacation ideas.

But… Trusted Tours & Attractions (TrustedTours.com) could help in that regard. Like say you're going to San Francisco. What to do? Maybe see an Alcatraz tour. “Hey, what should we do in San Francisco?” “Let’s go to jail!” “All right!!” Fun for the whole family…

TrustedTours.com has a newsletter to keep you apprised of up-to-date goings on. If you sign up before Monday, March 31st (2008), you just might win an IPOD Nano…
