Quite frankly Hotel Bed Jumping could be the next Olympic sport. Anyone who has ever been stuck in a boring hotel room unable to fall asleep at night should really try this. It is something we all did as kids (or at least should have!!), and it is something that makes hotel rooms great.
If you are a hardcore Super Bowl fan, and I know you are, then I will give you the best heads up out there. A Los Angeles firm has been hired by Super Bowl organizers to sell housing to anyone
Any hotel rooms being sold by the group will be sold at a decent rate. The Firm's project manager says they do not want to leave the fans out to dry. ...

I have been reading a lot of negative articles lately about how because of the high gas prices everyone should stay at home this summer. First let me tell you that totally disagree with this. Yes, summer is a time for backyard BBQs with family and friends, but most importantly it is to get out and explore the world. There is nothing better than getting back to the office with ...
This summer I will be taking some time to visit the Calgary Stampede in Alberta Canada. Like every good trip we have planned out a few major activies that have to be done, from taking some time to check out the mountains to what Stampede Breakfasts we will be visiting every morning! We know how much everything is going to basically cost, and we know which hotel in Calgary we will be staying in. Everything sounds like it is running smoothly right? So here is the twist:
6 people in one car for almost 20 hours. That is right this is Road Trip. So I thought I would put together a few tips for everyone driving across their own state, province or country this summer in search of a family vacation. The less stress there is the more fun everyone will have.
Family Road Trip Tips:
For older kids, give them a "travel budget" of maybe $5 or $10 that they can use to make a purchase in the airport or at a rest stop during a car trip. Having the ability to make some choices while in transit might be a great distraction.
Prepare a map to chart the trip. Give kids a map to help them understand where they are and how far it is to the destination.
Give each child a responsibility for the trip. Depending on their age, it might be taking care of their own luggage, organizing the games they want to bring along or preparing a mixed tape the whole family can listen to.
Bring some classic travel games such as Battle Ship, Checkers, Scrabble, Trouble (a personal favorite), or sorry all of which come in travel sized games!
Put the child with the shortest attention span, or that gets sick easily, next to the window; if your child is placid, give them a book or crayons and give them a middle seat or if they always feel the need to be a part of things, put them in the middle so they won't have to disturb everyone else to be a part of the action.
Do not feed your kids a lot of snacks with sugar to avoid bouncy off the walls in the back seat
