It's vacation time again and I don't want to go! I look forward each year to relaxing on the beach somewhere on the Gulf of Mexico. Our extended families all get together for a week and rent a couple of houses, preferably close to the beach, where we can enjoy the sand and surf for a glorious sun filled week.

Golf originated in the cool, green Scottish highlands so where better to play it than in the cool, green Tennessee highlands? If you are planning a vacation around Pigeon Forge, cabin rentals abound and many of them offer great golf packages.

One of the greatest places to spend a family vacation is at a National Park. There are literally dozens of National Parks to select from in the United States, each with its own unique characteristics and activities.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a wonderful way for visitors to experience the unspoiled natural beauty of the area.

If you happen to have a dog and wish to share your vacations with your pets in tow, then you may often encounter a whole host of problems. There is the fear that in a hotel there is the possibility of disturbing those who are renting rooms above, below, and beside you, should the dog bark or make other noises.
