Car Travel - Think of your trip as one big road trip for adults. Driving along the highways brings relief from the 4 walls of your home that you left behind. There are some many places to see and things to do. One way to spice up your trip is to stay in bed & breakfasts or country inns along the way.

If you want to travel by car but don't own one, consider contacting a car rental company about their need to seasonally shift their fleets to southern location to meet the changing demands. They often rely on seasonal travelers to do the driving for them.

The nicest part is that you can stop in an area for a short visit to all that it has to offer before getting on your way. The vast majority of RV owners don't need much prompting to hit the road when cold weather starts to come their way.

Commercial Air Travel - We all remember when air travel was an exciting adventure, today it not much less than the feeling of being shipped like cattle. There is a constant succession of nickle and dime extra charges, the latest of which is to charge for water onboard.

Many airlines would seem to be going the way of train travel when they kept offering less and less, with ever decreasing service, and then wondered why no one wanted to ride anymore. If at all possible, try not to fly to your destination and save yourself a lot of grief.

Private Aircraft Travel - If you own your own aircraft or can afford to charter a flight, private air travel is sure great. You can fly when you want to, and where you want to go.

Train Travel - In recent years train travel has actually gotten better. Meals are acceptable on Amtrak in both quality and price, and most of the remaining crews seem to understand the meaning of service.

When compared to air travel, if you consider the time it takes to get to airport, wait to get into the boarding area, wait for the plane to take off after moving from the terminal so they can say the plane departed on time, and repeat the same challenges at the other end, a train may well get you where you want to go quicker!

Bus Travel - Greyhound Lines, the largest North American intercity bus company, with 16, 000 daily bus departures to 3,100 destinations in the United States and Canada, is a good place to look into for your travel needs. There are several great bus lines that serve most of the USA.

Excellent well-maintained interstate highways make a bus trip easy. Experiencing the scenic wonders of driving through fields and farmlands and steel bridges and cities. There is nothing like watching dawn and dusk, and the glow of all the yellow, red, brown and green. Bus travel is the is the next best thing to your own personal road trip. It is a great way to see the real America.

Accommodations in squeaky-clean, new properties often include suite-style living with separate living room with big-screen TVs, kitchens, separate bedrooms, better bedding, complimentary hot breakfasts and sometimes light evening meals or discounts of their restaurant, happy hours, and barbecue nights.

In some locations you give up the bar and restaurant, but you have a kitchen and a lot more space. Eating in the room can help save money. The lobby is like a communal living room and the pool can just as nice.
