Feature of the week

My first whitewater rafting experience was with River Expeditions Whitewater Rafting Company in WV. I have to admit I was scared, I mean really scared.  Growing up we took swim lessons and literally spent all summer at the pool, but I still have the fear of drowning. So going whitewater rafting was a way for me to face my fear and go at it head on. We arrived at the site the night before, so we could rise early and not miss the boat in the morning.  The weather was beautiful that day. Sunshine was out, blue skies above and the water was calling us. Although I was scared at the beginning of the trip by the end I was ‘riding the bull’ down the last rapid of the day. Yes, I fell out of the boat and into the cold water, BUT I listened intently during all of the safety rules that, once I entered the cold water my body reacted, and I popped up out of the water a little ways down the river. My boat rescued me and I returned unharmed to the shore and smiling ear to ear. We ended the day with warm showers, a huge dinner and inviting conversation with new friends. This was a great adventure and I can’t wait to do it again!

 Please share your rafting experience with us or any questions you may have about this great adventure for all ages.

My Reasons to Travel this Summer

1. Festivals – You can find local festivals and state fairs anywhere you go.  Good ole’ family fun with the rides, carnival games and I can never pass up a funnel cake for the ride home. 
2. Water – Summer is my favorite season. I love the warmth from the bright sun and being able to enjoy water activities without freezing. Go canoeing or kayaking down a river, or zoom down a water slide at a water park. I’m sure we will go boating and fishing this summer. Some may say the best time to go whitewater rafting is the spring and fall because of the rapids but hey I can’t pass it up when the temperature reaches the high 80s and I can leave the wetsuit at home.
3. Beaches – Lay around, with sunscreen on, read a book, watch people walk by and when you get warm just walk into the ocean. I can’t wait!
4. Food – I would say my family is adventurous when it comes to trying new foods. Traveling is a good time to experience all of the wonderful tastes that are in all cities near and far. Ask a local where the “good” restaurants are and go enjoy a night out and a new experience. 
5. Deals, Deals and more Deals – It’s no surprise the economy is affecting everyone. So why not get the deal of a lifetime? We have advertisers running specials I’ve never seen in all my 7 years in the travel industry. Check out www.seeyathere.com and find great offers that will benefit you this summer.
6. Furry Friends are Welcome – I’ve noticed more and more accommodations offering rooms that allow pets. This is such a great addition! One of the most difficult tasks before we go anywhere is to find somewhere for the 2 dogs and 2 cats to go. Not to mention the extra cost the hotel is asking for is no where close to the cost of boarding them here. Plus why not get them out of their everyday surroundings?

I’m sure your thinking of something I’ve left off the list. Please share with us the reason why you will travel this summer.

See Ya There!
