Sigh. I wanted to go traveling this year, perhaps out of state, but right now the prospects are bleak. I have been promising my brother that we really, really WILL visit him in Virginia! But getting away has proved to be difficult. It’s been a very long time since I traveled south (or outside of the state, for that matter). Last time I went through i was 14 years old! I took a trip with an adult friend all the way to Florida and back, by Greyhound bus. It was quite an experience for a young lady. It was the first time I was away from home like that, and there was a limitless roster of things to do in Orlando! We got to see Disney World (the rides were absolutely wild and crazy!), the new Epcot center, and the Museum of Wax in the city. It was a great time! Of course, my friend made all the plans and this was long before the Internet was available. Back then, we relied on brochures, if we could get them, and word of mouth. I prefer having everything on the Internet at my fingertips, today.

I’m a big fan of Trusted Tours & Attractions for finding stuff online and when I need discount tickets for sightseeing tours, they are the first place to go. They have the best listings and discounts I have ever seen for the 23 most popular cities to see in the United States. I’ve even signed up for their newsletter, for when we do decide to travel (we also have plans to see Boston and maybe check out things to do in Atlanta, too). The newsletter is great. They have a promotion going on now: sign up for their newsletter by May 31st, and you’re entered in a contest to win a free $150 iTunes gift card.
