Vikings Story Contest Submission by Rick H.
I’ve been a Viking fan for as long as I can remember … I grew up watching Tarkenton, Page, and all the other great Viking players of the past. I had never been to a Vikings game, but in 1990 I decided that it was high time that I went to a game. I didn’t care when, or who we played, I just had to get to a game. I bought tickets and went with my stepdad. We had a wonderful time, as the Vikings took care of the Bears 41 - 13. From there, the Viking game became a tradition of sorts as my stepdad and I would make the trek north from Southeast Iowa, every year, to watch our beloved Vikings.

Earlier this year, I posted about my trip to Walt Disney World with my then 4 year-old.
Well, we may just have to return to Walt Disney World for my daughter’s next birthday! Or mine!
Disney just announced a new promotion for 2009 - “Free Admission on Your Birthday!” – for both Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida and Disneyland® Resort in California.
Another tip I want to share that I think it pretty cool - You can add a Park Hopper® Option to your Magic Your Way® base ticket and Disney vacation package with NWA WorldVacations. So, if you are planning on staying for several days and going back to the Disney theme park, the Park Hopper Option allows you to return to the Disney theme park as many times as you want to go back, and enjoy a ride again, or see more attractions.
Happy travels!

A travel story by - Brenda J.
My family and I went on a holiday to remember …
To start, it was the first time my husband and our son had been on an airplane, so right from the beginning it was to be a very memorable vacation. They both thought the flight to our destination was quite a new thing. We flew for 7 hours straight. We went to the Dominican Republic, to Puerto Plata and stayed at an all-inclusive resort and it was awesome.

A travel story by - Carrie Wallis
Our family of five flew direct from Detroit, Michigan to Bozeman, Montana. The flight was great and a perfect start to a highly anticipated vacation in the park. School ended the day before we left so we were at the park just a few days after the road to our cabin opened for the season. There were four foot snow mounds on the sides of the road in June and the animals were not used to seeing people yet.

Hawaii is the perfect place to just sit back on the beach and relax, but it is also a great place to immerse yourself in the local culture. Even though Hawaii is part of the United States, it has its own very unique culture that is very different than on the mainland. There are special events, festivals and cultural activities going on every day on all of the islands, so you will have plenty do while you are enjoying your Hawaii vacation.

Here are my top 10 (+3 more – there was so much to do!) SeaWorld Orlando Parks to-dos with an almost 5 year-old, along with some tips for those planning similar family vacations. These are the things that were winners with my daughter on her first trip to these SeaWorld Orlando Parks: SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa, and Discovery Cove Orlando in June of 2008. We tried a lot more than what is listed here – these were the biggest hits.

For many travelers, Hawaii vacations are a “once in a lifetime” dream vacation (until they visit once and then decide they absolutely MUST come back). For people who are realizing that dream and planning a vacation to the Aloha State, knowing which Hawaiian Islands to visit can be a daunting decision.
The short answer to the “Which island(s) should I visit?” question is easy – any type of traveler can find something to enjoy about every island, so you really can’t go wrong. But, below is a longer answer designed to serve as a starting point for your planning process and give you just a very few things to consider before you begin making plans.

Have you ever imagined what it was like in the Wild West and yearned to go digging for gold? You’ve seen the movies, the dusty towns, and the cowboys on horses. Ok, so this is not quite the Black Hills of today, but when you are there it is easy to find yourself going back in time and imagining history in action in every place you visit. There is something wild in just about everything you do and experience in the wild west of Rapid City, South Dakota and the Black Hills.

Whether you are taking a family vacation on a warm, sunny beach or traveling to Washington, D.C. for a first-hand lesson in American history, you will have more fun and relax easier if you plan ahead using these travel tips:
Book early - When you book early, you can take advantage of early booking discounts, special hotel offers - not to mention the dates you need to fit into your children’s school schedule.
Choose a family friendly destination - You may not want a destination that features discos and nightclubs if your children go to bed at 8 pm. Instead you will want plenty of entertaining daytime activities or historical/cultural learning opportunities.
