When you talk about Detroit, what is usually the first thing that pops into your head?  With me – it is home.  However, the automotive industry is actually the first thing that usually comes to mind whenever Detroit is mentioned.  However, the great thing about Detroit is that it is full of traditions and if you are looking for somewhere to go on Labor Day – you should take a trip down to Detroit for the International Jazz Festival!

This four-day event actually kicks off on September 4th and goes all the way for four straight days!  The Jazz Fest attracts all sorts of jazz musicians who take turns providing all sorts of free entertainment on five different stages.  Giant – huge puppets, street performers and even a children’s Bop Area is just a few of the added pleasures in Detroit for the Jazz Fest!

Already booked are over 100 events and if you want an experience like never before … Detroit is the place to be this Labor Day!

When I think about London, the first thing I think about is the luxury hotels that they have there.  There are truly some beautiful hotels in the UK and the Athenaeum is one of those brands that I think is not only beautiful – but five star and definitely the accommodations fit for a queen.  However, have you seen The Athenaeum that overlooks London’s Green Park?  This hotel in particular actually has a ‘living wall’ – for real!

This particular design was given to the hotel by Patrick Blanc and it is actually a vertical garden that covers the hotel’s eight-story façade with an exotic array of greenery that is rooted into an irrigated felt surface that was put down on this particular side of the wall.  This impressive garden is home to herbs and plants from all over the globe.

If you happen to get to stay in the rooms along that wall – you are a lucky one!  You can really reach out and touch the green for proof that it is real!

We all know that finding cheap Las Vegas hotel rooms is something that is not all that hard … you just have to know exactly what you are doing, which most people – let’s be honest, do not.  Priceline and hotwire are great places to start your research for hotel rates as you can certainly find some really good rates on there.  The key?  You need to be flexible with your dates.  You need to find the best possible rate and then schedule your days off of work.

When you are trying to find a cheap vacation place, especially Vegas, it is not about when you want to go, it is all about when the rates are available for you and honestly, that is something that a lot of people have a hard time with.  Another thing that you can do is sign up for any newsletters that airlines or hotels are giving out, so that way you are up-to-date on any specials that might be going on during a certain time.

Finally, research!  Do not settle for the very first rate that you are quoted … after all, you want to make sure that you find the best rate and that is going to take some research on your part!

Egypt is one of those places that my grandmother always wanted to go when she was around – I just lost her in March and I have to say that Egypt is still going to be a passion of mine.  Egypt vacations are something that are so unique and different and there is so much that you can do that I swear that you have never done before.  For example – a camel is something that you can ride in Egypt and while they might spit at you, they are still one animal that not many people get close to, much less ride.

Some of the beautiful sites to see in Egypt are breathtaking – like the pyramids.  I have to say that, those are something that I can not wait to see – ever.  Egypt is the only place that has them and the only place that you can truly get the feel for how Egyptian’s live and feel every day of their life.

Egypt is also hot – so make sure that you drink plenty of water and bring shorts with you, because the heat can get you – it is after all, all about the desert over that!

Now that we have talked about some of the places that you can go in Myrtle Beach, we are now going to touch base on some of the things that you and your family can do together.  One of the first things that you can do is go golfing.  Golfing is something that everyone can do, but if you just want to send your husband, there are a ton of different golf courses available in Myrtle Beach and he can truly have his pick!

The next thing that you have to make sure that you see is Broadway at the Beach.  This is a place that has so many different restaurants; it truly is hard to pick one.  There are also a ton of different carnival rides to choose form and every Tuesday at 10pm, you can count on a fireworks display being shot off!

Myrtle Beach is a place that you should check into for your first of many family vacations … there is something for everyone here and you should take advantage of that!
