Memorial Day is a day set aside to remember those who gave their lives for our country. Lets don’t lose the holiday’s original purpose. It has also become the traditional beginning of the summer vacation season. The kids are out of school, and that long ribbon of highway awaits you, IF you can afford the gasoline! Since you are going to go broke on vacation anyway, you may as well head to someplace you’ve never been before, looking for adventures you’ve never even imagined. I found a few possibilities for you!

Gilligan's Island Bed and Breakfast, The World's Only Church of Star Trek, and the Headless Cat are all part of the lesser-known attractions of Lynchburg and Central Virginia.

If you start preparing now, you can stay free with people along your way. Meet these people at Couchsurfing.

THE VACATION LOAN

A young blonde walks into a bank to borrow $10,000 for a European vacation. The loan officer asks how she'll secure the loan and she points to a new Ferrari. He accepts the title as collateral and parks the car in their underground parking lot.

Two weeks later the blonde returns, repays the loan and the $10.52 interest, and collects her pink slip for the car. The loan officer says, "When you left two weeks ago, I checked your credit rating. You're a multi-millionaire heiress. Why would you borrow money for a trip?"

The blonde replies, "Where else can I park a new Ferrari in this city for two weeks for $10.52, and expect it to still be there when I return?"

Where is this place?

A man and his wife were driving their Recreational Vehicle across the country and were nearing a town spelled Kissimee. They noted the strange spelling and tried to figure how to pronounce it - KISS-a-me; kis-A-me; kis-a-ME. They grew more perplexed as they drove into the town.

Since they were hungry, they pulled into a place to get something to eat. At the counter, the man said to the waitress: "My wife and I can't seem to be able to figure out how to pronounce this place. Will you tell me where we are and say it very slowly so that I can understand."

The waitress looked at him and said: "Buuurrrgerrr Kiiiinnnng."

Thought for today: No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one. ~Elbert Hubbard
