As a lifelong traveler, I like to help people find unique ways to do things that will save time & money -- so I write about "outside the box" Travel Hacks that most wouldn't think of. I'm SUPER organized and I love to pack! I've lived in 6 different states (Florida, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas) and have visited every other state in the U.S. -- except Hawaii.

We went to a drive-in movie the other night and had a blast. We learned a few things about drive-in movie theaters at the same time! If your idea of a drive-in is SONIC, then you need to read this. It's time to take a step back in time.

Have you ever considered renting a pontoon boat for a little off-road fun afloat?... We've done this on several occasions. Here are some pictures and highlights -- especially if you plan to go pontooning in the Nashville area. The best part: Take a couple friends with you, and it's a fairly inexpensive way to have a good time on the water!

We drove a couple hours from a racetrack in Milan, Michigan to a beach house in Stevensville, Michigan. Our destination: Chalet on the Lake, where our friends own one of the little chalets on Lake Michigan. This was relaxed, beachy,...

If it is, and I'm in your town, you can bet I'll notice it! For some odd reason, I've always (since college) checked the license plates on the cars in front of me to see whether they're expired or not....
