 | From Diane Schmidt, your About House & Home Editor A free vacation? Really? I know. Hard to believe. Those two words don't often go together, but this week, start packing your bags because summer vacation is just around the corner... and it's free. | |
7 Ways to Get a Free Vacation
My favorite on this list has to be the "couch-surf" plan, after all, most couches are free during the hours of midnight and six a.m. If you end up at my place, you'll just have to share it with four cats who think that a human asleep under the covers looks a lot like a giant mouse.
| Get Ready for Summer Road Trips
Okay, so maybe the free vacation isn't for you, but you still want to get away for a bit. That's where the road trip is the best possible solution. After all, a car can serve as your restaurant (make sure you dispose of those takeout containers) and your hotel. Just remember to go through this checklist of summer maintenance tips before you head out on the road.
| Turn Your Backyard into a Personal Theatre
I miss drive-ins. There are a few still kicking around, but they're usually filled with noisy teenagers and the french fries just aren't what I remember them to be. So when I heard about turning the backyard into my own private movie theater, I was hooked! Not only can I control who is admitted, but the french fries that my neighbor Dave makes take me back 20 years.
| Tips for Traveling with Pets
My sister and her husband are in the midst of planning a move to Mexico. While they're excited about the road trip down, their two dogs and one cranky cat are not. But there are ways of preparing your pets for a vacation on the road to ensure the journey is a little more enjoyable for both the critters and you.
