Vacationing in the USA

Planning your next vacation can often be a time of indecision.  Often, we want to do something different but just can't "put our finger on" what we really want to do. In planning this part of my homepage, I hope to take some of the pressure off vacation planning by providing you and your family with some information on vacation sites within the US.   May each and everyone of you, have a safe and relaxing vacation!
