Great American Backyard Campout

Get out your tents and marshmallows; it's time to go camping. Only you won't have to travel far to tell ghost stories and roast hot dogs if you are participating in the National Wildlife Federation's 2009 Great American Backyard Campout.

Luxury Camping Without the High End Prices

Like mother like daughter I guess. I blame my lack of enthusiasm for camping on my mother who, like many others out there, does all her "camping" at a Hilton. Which is not to say that I have never pitched a tent and lived off the land during the summer months.

If you have a large family then you know how hard it is to find a vacation spot that caters to everyone's likes. It's the reason some families forgo ski trips because not everyone in the clan enjoys shooshing down the slopes for five consecutive days.

Tomorrow morning my 3-year-old daughter will strap on ice skates for the first time. But, only time will tell if she'll remain upright during our historic skating adventure. She'll have me to cling onto, not to mention three of her playgroup pals, so I'm sure she'll be fine. Fingers crossed.

No, not at your local zoo. I'm talking about the real deal---larger than life polar bears in their natural environment.

Nothing says summer vacation than a day spent in the outdoors. Our family has spent many summers hiking through various national parks. We enjoy bird watching, exploring and just spending time together in nature.

No, no, this isn't another blog about the zany, high wattage activities that await you along Las Vegas' famed Strip.

Let's Go Snorkeling

Typically, one of the first things my friends want to do when they visit me in Hawaii is snorkel. Who can blame them? First of all, you don't have to be an Olympic athlete to stick a tube in your mouth, slap on some fins and a mask, and float around in the ocean.

West Coast Waterfalls

I'm a sucker for waterfalls. Perhaps, it's because I grew up in Hawaii and lived within walking distance of some of the most popular falls in the world. Or, maybe it's because a sense of calm rushes over me when I hear the sound of cascading water.
