The winter is almost here and after some great summer skiing on the glaciers, the Austrian ski resorts are now opening or the winter ski season 2008/2009...

My younger brothers, ages 13 and 9, do not like to travel. They would rather stay at home and play video games or football. How can I convince them to want to travel? I know they will enjoy almost any destination we could potentially travel to, for in the past, they have enjoyed vacations once we got there (the flight or drive to a destination makes them hostile). However, they absolutely refuse to go whenever the subject comes up. My parents and I are not trying to drag them to Europe where they would have to take tours of castles or museums. The trip suggestions we have include Disney World, cruises, and New York City, however, they say all of them sound "boring". My parents refuse to leave them at home with a babysitter for a week. So basically my question is, how can I convince young boys to want to travel?

Escalating gas prices have made the prospect of an affordable summer vacation seem bleak in 2008, so The New York Times has rounded up a handful of cheap destinations across the U.S. Not one

My girl friend and i have been wanting to go on a vacation and travel around a bit so I thought to myself, what could be better than a cruise? You get to visit several destinations and get catered to 24/7 besides she's never been. I never realized that there was such a strict age requirement considering a lot of them would allow you to drink at the age of 18 but i guess they just don't want a bunch of drunk college kids trashing the place. We're both 20, do we have to wait another year or is there one that I'm missing?

We're not into clubbing or anything - more into spending time at the beach or enjoying sites around town. What would be our best choice for destination and most affordable? Anyone recommend a good travel site for DR despite the obvious choices (ie expedia.com, etc)...?

I want to plan a vacation to one of these destinations but would like to see if anyone knows of a good website where I can do this and get a great deal? Please help. Thanks!

Hey, I'm gonna start off with the background story I have a female friend which we went on a trip together to Europe for a vacation(strictly just friends). On the first night she met a guy who travelled along with us on the rest of the trip (btw...he also had a friend). Really nice guy...so what right? Anyways, on one of our destinations we all wanted to go to a club, but on the way my friend and her new "BF" decided they wanted some alone time. Ok fine, so I decided to go on to the club with the other guy and leave them alone. But before we separated, I asked her if she can take my camera cuz I don't want to lose it in the club and she agreed. So I come home late at night and go straight to bed (my friend and the guy were already asleep when I got back to the hostel). So the next day we woke up and went for breakfast and I forgot about the camera until we get back and I ask her for it. Of course she has no idea where it is and said the cleaning staff must have taken it. In the end, we decided that we'd split the cost of the lost camera (half each)...which I think is fair. Fast foward a few months, I asked her to pay me back. She replied with a message saying she shouldn't have to pay half the brand new price I paid at the time purchase but half of what it was worth at the time it was lost. Ok fine, I agree with that and admit I never thought about that. She also said she didn't like dealing with money issues between friendship. Ok...fine....but this is the part which really pisses me off. In the same email she writes, Honestly, I don't think I should be paying you anything at all. I watched your camera as a favour as a friend and because I lost it I have to pay for it? To me, it sounds she doesn't want to take any accountability at all and she's trying to get herself out of paying a small debt. And by saying "she was doing me a favour" made it sound like I asked something huge of her. Wow...Geez....I only asked her to watch my camera cuz they weren't going clubbing with us so it'd be safer with them. A simple task...and now she's trying to blame it back on me? And she contradicts herself when she said she doesn't want money to cause problems between us then saying I shouldn't have to pay you cause I was doing you a favour. I don't know...I thought I was already being fair by charging her half the price of an outdated camera. But by saying what was above, to me, it just pisses me off this tells me alot about her character. What do you people think?

Take your family on a virtual trip around the world. This book is more than a what to see and where to stay touring plan; it is the guide book that will bring the exhibits to life for you and your children. Take your family on a trip to Norway to see the Viking ship, but first study Viking history. Did you know that the Norwegian king was given the Gospel on a trip to England, which led to the end of the Viking era. But, what would the worlds greatest shipbuilders and sailors do for a living if they weren't Vikings? They used their skills to build churches, some of which are still standing today. An example of a Stave church can be seen in the Norwegian pavilion. Take your family on a trip to Mexico and shop for your favorite pinata in the marketplace, but first study the history of this game. Spanish missionaries arrived to find the Mayans playing a game that they then used to help illustrate Biblical truths. Did you know? Try it! Get into hands on activities while making pretzels together (recipe included), while you study German foods, then try even more authentic recipes at the Biergarten. Moms: Use this book of unit studies to impress dad. It was researched and written by a Christian home schooling family and would be a great asset to any curriculum, with or without a visit to Epcot (although that would be a world class field trip to top off the school year). Dads: Buy this book for yourself and read it before you go. Impress your family with your expertise in every pavilion! Then, you can pass the book on to the kids when you get home from your vacation, so they can do the hundreds of activities in this guide book, and learn even more. Not only will they learn more, the vacation experience will be extended throughout the year, as you say, remember when we saw this?... let's learn more about that.
