Take a closer look into these five reasons why long weekends are better then sliced bread!

I remember watching a comedy special where George Cariln, in his usual ‘things that make you go hmmm’ way, posed the question; “What exactly is better then sliced bread?” Having never really given it much thought, until George brought it to the forefront, I feel that long weekends have got to be somewhere in the mix. And on the doorstep of the unofficial end to summer weekend, I would like to list 5 reasons why I feel this way:
5. A reason to grill – as if you really needed one. Look at the Food Network and the majority of their shows during these long breaks from work talk about getting out there and grilling. Rain or shine, this exercise will make you feel like you’re doing exactly what you should be doing at the exact time you should be doing it.
4. Not having to set your alarm. If you have been trying to catch up on some sleep during the week, this might be your best chance to do it. I know, they say that you can never catch up on any lost sleep, but not having to worry about getting jolted out of bed by loud bells or annoying buzzing noises is certainly a good start.
3. Sundays all of a sudden don’t seem so bad. I never really minded Sundays. To me, it has always been a huge speed bump in the week. After running around all week, then on Saturday catching up on all the things that you couldn’t catch up on all week, the beginning of the week is a nice reason to just relax. Throw in the fact that alarm clock won’t be haunting your dreams in the morning, and Sunday is the new Saturday.
2. Road trips! There is a scene in the Movie, Animal House, where the fraternity brothers of Alpha Delta Phi thought it would be a good idea to take a road trip, and it was! Road trips help to serve two purposes, one to get away and two to experience the adventure in getting there. I have always found that some of the best vacations I have ever had were short 3 day getaways where getting there was ¾ the fun.
1. One extra day of doing whatever the hell you want. You’re the boss and there is no one that can tell you what to do. With the occasional ‘honey-do’ list, which by the way is not something that is better then sliced bread, you are free to do any of these things, or simply be a beach bum and let it all hang out!
Labor Day weekend is here; and it is a celebration of all us laborers that make this country the greatest country in the world. Celebrate it any way you want, but do celebrate it…we’ll see you when the coast is clear!
There is plenty of great vacation ideas - flight, car, hotels - for you to choose from to make your long weekend, or any weekend, vacation a reality.

The Water Is Cold In ParadiseMay 12, 2011 - 2:51:07 AM Miami, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Florida… These are some of the destinations that are thrown out during the “family vacation meeting”. I’m not going to be a hypocrite, when planning a vacation the first thoughts in my head are always beaches, resorts, islands or maybe even a cruise, until now. My thoughts were now maps, camping, tours and a few really big parks. We had done the Europe thing the year before and my kids were old enough to appreciate the beauty that Mother Earth has to offer. After a few phone calls and a day or so online, our 2 week summer vacation was planned, we were heading to California’s High Sierra. The plan was to fly to California, rent a mini-van and...
