Iowa six on six girls basketball

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Some of the best Iowa tourism events are the state tournaments. My grandfather especially liked the girls state basketball tournament. I think it was because his daughter (my aunt) played at state as did my sister. That was back in the days of six on six girls basketball. The rules were much different then. Each team had three guards and three forwards on the floor with the guards on one end and the forwards on the other. No one was allowed to cross the center line, what happened was the three guards would be on defense when the other team’s forwards had control of the ball. If the opposing team made a basket the official would hand the ball to the guard out of bounce under the basket. She then had the option of trying to pass to one of the other guards or attempt a pass across the center line to one of the forwards. Once the ball was in the hands of the forwards it could not cross the center line again without changing possession. It was quite a thing to watch and in many respects it was more enjoyable than the five on five game that is played today.

Getting Lift Chairs

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

The lift chairs feature a motorized mechanism that raises and lowers the chair. When the person wants to sit down in the lift chairs they need to stand in front of it and push a button that raises the chair. The person then bends their knees and pushes the button for the chair to lower back down. When they want to get out of the lift chairs they simply push the button to have it rise back up until they are in a standing position. Most of the lift chairs are also recliners.

Student Travel Discounts

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Student Travel Discounts.Finding these types of deals isn’t that difficult. It’s rare for anyone to go to a travel agency when looking to book a trip these days. Instead people are turning on their computers and going online to find great prices on airfare and hotels. The same is true of student travel discounts as many sites are focused on providing travel packages for students who want a break.

Finding deals for winter sun holidays

Friday, August 24th, 2007

The great thing about winter sun holidays is, if you are careful with your destinations, you can get great deals and find almost abandoned beaches to enjoy by yourself. If you do what I do and go to the Caribbean, things will be pretty crowded during the winter. If you go to a less obvious place, such as South Carolina, Southern California, or maybe the Spanish coast, you’ll still be able to enjoy plenty of warmth without having to put up with huge crowds. Going to a tropical paradise for your winter sun holidays can be really fun, but there is also something to be said for finding a destination where you will have the beach all to yourself.

Myrtle beach spring break

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Over dinner we brought up the subject of the Myrtle Beach spring break with her father. His first reaction was very similar to mine. Once we started talking about the home repairs that would be done for needy families he began to listen. We asked our daughter if she had any idea of who the parents would be. She told us that she was hoping we would agree to go. Her father is a general contractor and she thought it would be fun. She said that her friends agreed that we would be good chaperones to have along.

Lake buena vista florida is a very special place to visit

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Celebration Florida is an unusual residential community, conceived by the Disney Corporation. The distinctive architecture includes 2,500 homes and is served by various shops. There is a nostalgic elegance to the design and it’s a welcome addition to the real estate of Lake Buena Vista.

Away from Disney, there is another franchise that features in Lake Buena Vista. Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede has a venue here, offering a Wild West Show with horses and buffalo followed by a tasty barbecued meal and good ole country music. This dinner theatre only has a few outlets in the country.

West Palm Beach Florida

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

This was the first flying experience for both my friend and me. We had to switch planes in Chicago because there was not a direct flight from Minneapolis to West Palm Beach Florida. We ended up having twenty minutes to get from one gate to another to make our connecting flight. When I think back to how little we knew about traveling I cannot believe we actually made the connection. My aunt was very proud of her home and friends in West Palm Beach Florida. It is a great city and we were two blocks from a great public beach. We spent time on the beach and then took a bus tour to Disney World for two days.

Daytona Beach

Cultural heritage is also important to the city and it is justly proud of the Museum of Arts and Sciences. It is a collection of permanent exhibitions and traveling displays, concerned with the local social history and natural history of the Daytona Beach area. Each gallery is divided into a special interest, one of which is the Center for Florida History. There is large collection of fossils here and the skeleton of the Giant Ground Sloth, which was found locally.

Cross Country Travel

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Since that first road trip I have done a great deal of cross country travel. I love driving to different parts of the country because you can veer off and take side trips and see parts of states that are not commercialized. By taking these side trips you get a true feel for the people of the region as well as the economy and values of the area. My goal is to physically go to all fifty states. I have been in thirty two states at this time, however some of places I flew to. My preference is to cross country travel to get the best feel for the area I am visiting.

North Carolina Beaches

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

One particular state that I must call my favorite, at least so far, is North Carolina. Not to be confused with South Carolina. These are two completely different sovereign entities. And while South Carolina does offer a magnificent city known as Charleston, North Carolina still reigns supreme. One aspect of this state that people across the nation go gaga for are the North Carolina beaches. You’ve never encountered sand and waves like this. Not even in California.

Spring break cabo san lucas

Monday, June 18th, 2007

One thing that most college graduates miss after achieving their degree is spring break fun. We can’t help it. Those times of spring break Cabo San Lucas are not such a distant memory. In fact, I have a pretty solid theory about graduate students. They’re not really back for their master’s degree. They’re simply hoping to indulge in a little spring break Cabo San Lucas fun. So, am I on to something here or what? Now, one may wonder why Mexico. Yeah, like this is a difficult one to figure out. College kids choose the famous spring break Cabo San Lucas adventure, because it’s far away from it all. They figure it’s a place with plenty of sun, oodles of fun, and no drinking age. It’s the ultimate getaway, and the parents are far away.

Affordable Exotic Beauty Of Eastern Europe

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Unlike destinations in Spain, England, and France, travel in Eastern Europe explores locations that have always been a little bit off the map – places that are home to expatriates and friendly to tourists, but still thriving with unique native cultural traditions. This means that Eastern Europe traveling offers some of the best of both worlds – on the one hand, you can live in the luxury that most of us have come to expect from our vacation accommodations, but on the other hand you can get away from the bustling city life and enjoy a quaint, picturesque setting.

Can you actually get cheap discount airline tickets?

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

An article about being able to actually get cheap discount airline tickets

I’m sure you’ve seen the hokey commercials with William Shatner. It’s all about priceline.com. This contemporary business will assist you in acquiring an ideal rate on plane tickets and lodging. Or at least that’s what they pitch on the television. Now, how many people have ever actually used priceline.com? Oh, and let’s not forget the many others such as Cheaptickets.com, Travelocity.com, Onetravel.com, Affordabletravel.com, Skyauction.com, and Orbitz.com. I assume that’s enough of the name game. These types of “discount” websites ask you to name your price. However, it’s not worked for me yet. They never seem to have the reasonable rate I’m searching for. Granted I’ve only used these services about three times, but still. I’d think I would get lucky at one point or another. Maybe the problem isn’t the web-businesses. Just maybe cheap discount airline tickets are impossible to come by now days unless you’re literally traveling during the deadest season.

Great Beach House Rentals

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

As expected, many beach house rentals are extremely high priced. It has a lot to do with what you are looking for. Many beach homes I recently searched online for were way over my head.  If you have the discipline to search online, you can locate some good deals.
