We will probably be renting a car for our vacation this year. So, instead of trying to cram my hubby, my grandson, myself and all of our travel things into my little Toyota Camry Solara (read that convertible with very little trunk space), I’m looking for a mid-sized SUV to rent for a couple of weeks. Rent by the week.

When vacationing, I always try to include some kind of boat tour. A few years ago, when selecting a vacation home to buy, one of my criteria was that it had to be at a lake or on a beach. Since all they like to do is tour, renting a boat for a couple of hours gives most what they want in a boat ride. So why buy? Boating is fun.

If affording a vacation just doesn’t seem possible, why not have a “staycation” instead, where you enjoy your own city or state without all the added travel expenses.
