Vacation But Low on Cash

Do you feel trapped and in need of a vacation but low on cash? Consider a staycation. According to Urbandictionary.com, one of my favorite websites, a staycation is “ a vacation that is spent at ones home enjoying all that home and one’s homes environs have to offer.” I studied staycation’s during my undergrad in recreation at Florida State University. To my knowledge a staycation is taking a vacation in your hometown. You have the option to stay at your home or a hotel of your choice. The great thing about staycation’s are you can take a vacation and not have to pay for common traveling costs such as gas, air travel, tolls etc.

Event Planning Basics


 http://militaryengineers.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/same-small-business-conference-day-2/

In order to fully be able to appreciate a great event, you should understand the basics of what goes into planning one. First and foremost you must decide what type of event you want to plan. Personally, I am interested in planning conferences and destination business retreats. It may sound boring but a lot goes into it. You have to decide how many people will attend, pick a date and begin. Once you pick a date, you must pick a venue that works best for your event. Some venues are all inclusive with meeting space, dining, entertainment and lodging; especially the Disney resorts in Orlando, Florida.
