Suggestions for Something Great?

have you ever been to vegas? i have been for the first time this past year. i loved it. i went to visit family out there, but we were having such a great time. i gambled at caesar's palace! it was awesome. my kids even went to the kiddie casino out there called, castle castle, i think. if you haven't visited vegas, you should try to go there sometime. there is so much to see and do.

Sometimes we have so many things to do and see right in our own backyards, so to speak. Try doing a search of your state and see what is close to where you live, or up and coming fun events this year. They even should tell you about bed and breakfasts along with other nice and unusual places to stay. Cabins are fun to rent if you like the outdoors and nature. Some even have hot tubs so you can soak those weary muscles. I think the hot springs sound wonderful and I would go if I were you. It must be very relaxing and certainly something different to do. I know I live in the city so whenever I can get away from it, I do. I love nature and that's my get away anytime I can do it.

The mineral springs sound wonderful! Three places that I have been that left life long impressions are Washington, DC, New York City and Niagara Falls. Wash. I went to when I was 18-19 years old and I would LOVE to go back one day. I have been to the falls twice and would still go back. The first time was mid-Nov and it was very cold but the falls were beautiful and I just looked in awe! NYC my oldest daughter took me to for my birthday one year, since she and 4 friends were going. I LOVED being there and our time there was too short! I could never live there, but the sights, sounds and smells are terrific and I was glad to be there, even if I walked more than I had in a very long time. Actually, there are many places I would like to see............most of the country's tourist attractions to be exact. Hope you find many things to do and are able to do them all!

You should check out some of the waterfalls around the area too. My friend that lives there told me about a road that is about 27 miles of dirt and has all kinds of waterfalls. It is near Gatlinburg somewhere. Do you know of any such place?

Hi Jen, I think going on a cruise would be so much fun. I have never been on a cruise. I would love to go on a cruise one of these days. I hope you are doing well. Have a wonderful day!

well for spectacular, I really couldn't say better than the Grand Canyon - my aunt lives in Arizona and we got to go to the canyon when I was visiting - whew what an experience for beauty , the Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia, which gives you green, mountains, plunging into the ocean, quaint fishing villages, gorgeous!!!

I like the sound of the Hot Springs trip. For trying something different, personally I think there's nothing better than experiencing a new place, somewhere you haven't already visited, whether it's going to a new place you've never been before, a new country even, but the experience and adventure just by going somewhere different can make all the difference. When I went to Rhodes back in 2007, I had never been there before and I had never been on a plane on my own before, it was one big adventure and you will be able to look back with fond memories too when you get older.

you are closer to that one than the one in Ark. so I would say go for it hot springs just make ya feel good and relaxed now some of them dont smell so good others are ok. I think I sent a cd withthe coffee samples you might take time to watch it and go for the program and if you didnt get to try the samples of coffee I can send you more just let me know ok. I have had fun withthis meet alot of people for sure! you can get a healthy body with the coffee and the ganoderma that is infused in it and when ya stir the bubbles you see shows you that it is brewing love it I have always wanted to go to Carlsbad Caverns never got there but haveit on my bucket list lolollol

As I am sitting here reading your discussion about warm mineral springs they sound so good...it's -6 degrees here right now. I guess I have traveled about so much that it all seems to be something special and nothing stands out as that one thing I could recommend for you. I am not big on trying new foods....so can't suggest that. But I do alot of crafty things and if you had time and were interested I could steer you toward a new craft!

hi JenINTn Hi why not come t o Southern California and NewPort Beach eat froaxen choclate covered bananas and visit the best little cafe in the West Charlies Chili right on the Pacific Oceasn . He makes the best chili anywhere really. I live in Garden Grove six miles from the ocean and before I had to use a walker I would go down to the beach as it only cost round trip two dollars. just to strol on the beach wathch the boats out there, hunt for seashells and have a gr eat tims. If y ou are ever up this way do stop in and say hello as I would love to meet another mylotter.say if you have never been to the Black Hills of Dakota do go and visit Mt.Rushmore where the Presidents are carv ed in the mountain. I was born and raised in southe Dakota.

In terms of easy drives from where you're at, I would recommend Beaufort, SC or going northward to visit the Natural Bridge in Virginia. What I would like to do, though, is take the QE 2 across the Atlantic and go visit the UK for a bit. I don't know if or when that is going to happen, though--simply too much going on here to be able to spend several thousand dollars to go on such a trip right now.

I went home this past month. Although I didn't want to at that time, I did enjoy myself. I went to the beach, went snorkeling, stayed too long out in the sun, and ate too much. It was good reprieve the cold and rain here where I am. So, if you could do the same, I suggest that. If not, then there's always Vegas!

Apart from putting up a swing in your garden to relax in summer you could spruce up your barbecue area too Jen? Throwing parties for no reason at all? Sounds good I hope!

Hi JenInTN Sounds you are not scared of water. So why not try out Scuba Diving? You know, I am so very scared of water that I even dont feel like drinking lots of it. Luckily, I read in the newspaper of a nearby place where there is a diver who runs a school on scuba diving and other sea related swimming and other such courses. He is a national and maybe an international figure too (am not sure about that) but his school is at Konark which has been a tourist spot in my state of Odisha. I have put it on my agenda for this year, that someday when I am in much better health, I would make it a point to travel to this place and go into the sea and take some good pictures of the underwater life

In 2011 I have my make a visit to a different destination once per month with my kids. I did it in the spring, summer and autumn. I didn't fancy doing it in the winter due to the cold weather. I took my kids on days out to places which we haven't been to before. It was great to visit Plymouth, Bradford Upon Avon and Swindon's Railway Museum. We even managed a short break up to Scarborough on the Yorkshire Coast. We used that town as a base and went to Whitby, the Farne Islands, Hull's Aquarium and had a ride on a steam train. I like the sound of the North Carolina Hot Springs. Towards the end of that year I took up a new physical exercise Zumba dancing. I still do that now and it is very enjoyable.

Sounds like you already have an idea of what you want to do, so I say that you owe it to yourself to do it. There are many things that you can do just for a change of pace. You can go see a movie that you've been wanting to see or read a book that you have been putting off because you've been so busy. Or you could get away for the weekend. Go pamper yourself. Buy that purse you've had your eye on or a new fancy dress that you just know will look great on you. But whatever you do do it because you want to do it & not because someone tells you you should.

If you're really feeling adventurous---visit the Philippines! We have great sites that you can visit. We've got a lot of quality beaches (Boracay, Misibis, Coron, El Nido) and other tourist destinations that will take your breath away!

Not sure what you will like. But if you would like to soak in pools of warm mineral water, go for it! I always encourage my children to do volunteer work. My parents did volunteer work and passed that 'desire to help others' on to my siblings and me. I encourage my children to do volunteer work and they do. It just makes you feel valued and valuable when you are able to give or do something for the sake of others. It is a good feeling when you are able to help others. So, I would encourage you to help out with doing some charity work. Traveling can be truly a rewarding activity. Also, exercise is important as well . Make sure you leave time for your family and friends. All the best to you.
