In Reply to: Poll: What do you spend your entertainment money on? - Me: Travel and going out with friends.
years ago took my children on really nice vacations, Mexico, Carribean, Greece and the like- now they are out and gone I travel by myself on tour groups, last year Alaska, this year another fab trip. My hubs and I go to Las Vegas a couple of times a year and then we go visit Mickey Mouse sometimes but I have the traveling bug more than he does.

When you travel...
prefer to stay at a hotel or with friends or relatives? I personally, as well as my immediate family, prefer to stay in a hotel. You can just do what you want to do. I have a relative who insists that she stay at my house and I just can't understand it. I wonder if I'm strange or if she is strange.

Travel and Golf

I saw the same thing, on a travel ad
busses?? This is a well known agency.
I'm married, but I travel alone often.
My DH and I have different ideas about what is fun. After a few years of trying to make joint vacations work, trying to compromise, and trying to love what the other one loves, we've decided that separate trips are better for us. Even our honeymoon was a disaster! LOL I'm the outdoors type, and would rather camp and backpack, and he's a serious track and field competitor who thinks that a great vacation is a week of running in competitions. We both like history and museums, so what we do is sprinkle weekend getaways here and there in our lives. But he couldn't do a week in the woods with me, and I can't stand sitting next to the track waiting for him to run.
I've done all sorts of week-long trips by myself, and I highly recommend it. The first time you do it, you might feel a little nervous, but gradually, as you relax and enjoy yourself, your confidence builds up. I happen to travel without groups, but my mom has been widowed since 1983 and has done lots and lots of guided trips around the world. She loves traveling that way. Pays one price and everything is planned. She meets new friends and sees wonderful places.
Get out and see the world! You'll love it! And if anyone wants to share info about Ireland, I'd love to hear it. My son is planning a "tramping" trip to Ireland, backpacking and staying at hostels.
Travel the world
Although, I would have to win the lottery for that! I'd probably take out every loan I could and run up the credit cards. I've been to France and NYC (both of which I absolutely loved!) I would love to see Italy and Greece. If I absolutely could not get $ for that, I would volunteer at animal shelters/rescues and volunteer with kids, maybe with Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I've had some scares with health myself and I have thought about it, unfortunately. I would just try to be as happy as possible! I wish you and your SIL the best.
My daughter and I both travel alone
she likes to go to Cancun (we had traveled there years ago when she was much younger) and I have traveled the past few years (plan to this year also) to places like out west and Alaska. I used to travel in the 80s and 90s all the time, just me and my 2 kids out of the country to the carribean (spelling?), Mexico, even to Greece. I absolutely would never let being afraid keep me from going.
And I don’t think it is dangerous just to travel, sm
If I had waited for a Starbuck I might never had a trip before. Believe it or not, never remember seeing 1 anywhere I traveled. Your response is strange.
Hubby is a travel agent...sm
We have been to many all inclusives. For us, we go with a big group of friends every year on vacation, and we will always do AI. The best yet was Barcelo Tropical in Puerto Juarez. It is about 25 minutes away from Playa Del Carmen and 1 hour from Cancun. You never have to leave the resort. The food is EXCELLENT!!!! This place is amazing. Check it out on trip advisor. Lots of places (in Mexico is all I know) are AI and NOT worth it, meaning the food sucks, drinks are watered down, no activities. You have to be careful because you don't want to spend the $$ on an AI and then have to go out to eat.
Definitely NOT work! Be with family, travel if possible. Try

Wow!!! that's so disgusting. Makes you not want to travel or eat out ever! (nm)

Same here - retire, hop in an RV, travel the states!

Didnt say that! I said if she's uneasy with travel to
the US? Mexico will still be thre (unfortunately), so just wait and go when the the crime rate drops a little bit. We Americans have had great big TARGETS on our backs for a long time now, or havent you noticed? So the statistics might not be on an American tourist's side there right now. And if I'm going to be the victim of a crime, I'd rather it were here than in
Mexico. Sure wouldn't want to end up in one of their jails, or even in one of their hospitals.
I think, though, that the main thing that was meant by the gov't. announcement was that college kids shouldn't be going down there at this particular time, especially the girls. Not a very good place to be naiive and inebriated, even in the best of times.
Travel Agent... off original topic
Always looking for a new career away from MT...Since your DH is travel agent, would you recommend it? Can you make a good living at it? How to get started? Have thought of this in the past, but never really knew how to go about it. My DH and I love to travel and he will be retired in a few years, so a career change may do us both good. Thanks for any info. 
Sounds good to me. I am going to get in that car and go or go with a travel group. Life is too
short to wait around on other people for whatever. Probably plenty of people to talk to. I just got out of the habit of going alone actually and it is time to get back into it. Sometimes I agree you go with people and spend more time worrying if they like where you wanted to go than doing what you want. Yep I am going to go for it.
Ask the Department Stores that sell them. They often have travel sizes. NM

will high gas prices affect your spring/summer travel
j/c. I wanted to go to the beach this year but I don't think we will now. 
I keep a little travel pack in my purse and one in the glove box..bought them at Wal Mart..nm
