Saturday, December 15th, 2007

If you have never tried speed boats or jet skis, you have never lived! It is as simple as that. What looks like a calm lake actually feels very rough once you start skimming across it at high speeds. The boat planes, jumping up and down, as the wind whips through your hair and the spray flies into your face. The speed felt almost unreal, and I was instantly hooked.

RV vs Tent Camping - Which is Right for You?

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Many people think of camping as a getaway from the daily grind of life and enjoying what some other region has to offer. Choosing between the fast convenience of tents that have the disadvantage of roughing it a bit and the more expensive yet more comfortable rental of an RV that can leave you limited to your vacation destinations can be a difficult one. Here’s a quick look at the pros and cons of each to help you make your choice on camping accommodations.

Cost is a factor whether you choose camping equipment or renting an RV. Good, solid tents and warm sleeping bags plus all the other accessories you’ll need for your vacation aren’t that cheap, but compared to the cost of an RV rental, you’re still coming out ahead. If you’re planning to go camping on a regular basis, the long-term potential involved in purchasing equipment is worth the expense, and you’ll be able to enjoy your equipment for many years. Renting an RV will most likely be a one-time thing, but if it’s not, you’ll have to factor the expense into your yearly holiday budget. However, just as with camping equipment, you can go one step further and outright buy an RV for vacationing to have for many trips to come. Again, the price difference is incomparable to the few hundreds tents will cost you, but creatures of comfort will never be one hundred percent happy in more rustic accommodations, so if you’re the kind of person that prefers convenience and luxury, aim for an RV.
