Are We There Yet?...

I am planning on a 500 mile trip to Florida and back (1000 miles total) with two kids under the age of 6... and did I mention we will drive? Actually it isn't so bad. Why? Sleepy kids? Nah, we had an overhead video system installed before the trip and was able to pull out the movies whenever the kids got a little antsy.

Which Ocean Do You Love?

That's the beautiful thing about the U.S. -- you've got not one but two oceans and a gulf to vacation on. So which body of water will you be visiting this summer? I love the beach -- I'll be going to Daytona on the ATLANTIC ocean. So how will I get in shape before it? No diet pills for me -- apatrim, hydroxycut, slimfast -- nah, I will head to the gym and do some extra crunches instead!

Fly or Drive: Which is Better For Your Pocketbook?

Look the cost of fuel is getting crazy but driving to your vacation destination is probably still cheaper than flying there. And, although I hate to say it, taking a train is probably more expensive too. What's the deal? When it all happens when multiple people travel together. Sure a single airline ticket is comparable to a round trip gas tanks, but when you can transport 4 people for the same gas versus 4 airline tickets, driving costs less.

Old Skool Video Game Culture

Video games are so advanced these days, the border between reality and fantasy is becoming hard to recognize. So why would someone want to play and old 8-bit video game? Nostalgia! Classic video games are all the rage with people wanting to relive their 1980s childhood. I'm no video game player, but the allure is there. Duck hunt, anyone?

Motorcycle Culture

Trust me -- I would love to get in motorcycle culture but there are a few things holding me back. First, I have no idea how to ride one or even drive stick. Secondly, I have a young family which needs me very much. I can't take unnecessary risks no matter how good the Pleasanton motorcycle accident attorney is. Lastly, motorcycles are a costly hobby and I just don't have the cash to devote to it right now. Sad but true!

Buy a Hybrid... This Weekend!

Want to save money on your summer road trip? Here's a timely tip -- buy a slightly used hybrid car this weekend! No seriously, as gas prices begin to inch up and up, used hybrids and new ones will become more in demand. Beat the rush and the price increases by buying one tomorrow! Trust me -- we will see $4 a gallon gas again and when that happens you will look very smart for owing a hybrid car!
