great vacation

Colorado Springs was a very fun vacation my parents took us kids on. I've been other places more fantastic, but it is hard to beat the beauty of Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods. If you search for the best deals and know what you are looking for, then taking a trip to Colorado Springs is very affordable.

My best vacation was before New Orleans was hit by Katrina. My fiance and I were there for a week. We stayed in a historic hotel, it was an old coffee factory, with brick walls and the original wood floors. We were within walking distance of Harrah's casino, the French Quarter and the boardwalk. The only down side was that it was so humid and hot! Even so we had such a great time, we did a ghost tour and we walked all over the place doing alot of tours, trying the food out, listening to jazz and meeting lots of friendly people there. We spent about $2000 in 4 days. Las Vegas is a good idea if you plan your vacation from Sunday to Thursday you can get discounted rates on hotels, there are always buffets that are minimal in cost. If you like to have an occasional drink, go to the casino and play the slots or the tables, you get free drinks. I got smart and just started carrying a coin bucket with a few coins in it and got free drinks for awhile. LOL, they also have much more than just gambling, the casino's have resort like atmospheres and alot of them have mini amusement parks in them. The shows are also fabulous! You can get some good packages through discount travel sites like travelocity, expedia and the like. Happy vacation hunting!

I liked going to South Dakota. I went there when I was little and I loved it. We there is alot to do there. And if you are the one who likes black hills gold then this is also a cheap place to get it. I am thinking about planning a trip to go back with my children.
