Have you ever been to Maui? It is really a beautiful place to visit, especially if you are the adventurous sort. I know that my wife and I have been there twice and it was absolutely beautiful, there really isn't a place like it on the planet. Some of the main things that people do when they visit Maui is to relax on the beach, enjoy some of the great food that is available, take a drive on the road to Hanna and my personal favorite, take a bike ride down Mt. Haleakala.The first time we stayed on Maui we found this excursion and we really weren't sure what to expect, but we went there anyway. Our travel agent gave us some good advice, and that was to do the bike ride on your first day, because they...

Today Norm Goldman, Editor of Sketchandtravel & Bookpleasures interviews Susie Ellis, President of Spa Finder Inc.Norm:Could you tell us a little about yourself and your expertise in spas, and why you became interested in them?Susie:I was athletic in my youth and naturally gravitated toward being as healthy as possible. After college in the mid 70's, I began working at the Golden Door Spa which, unbeknownst to me at the time, was the top spa in the country. After spending many years on staff, I became enthralled with how people's lives were transformed after just a one-week stay at this famous place. I decided to make spa my life's work, and the combination of movement, good nutrition, spa...

Hawaii, just hearing or reading the name fills me with dreams of the Garden of Ede. If there ever was a paradise on earth, what else could it be but Hawaii. I know I am not alone. Hawaii - these small islands in the middle of the Pacific ocean - have been a source of creative stimulations for generations of poets, writers, artists and musicians - and people all over the world have heard of it. And so many people can't get it wrong; these islands must be great, as close to a paradise on earth as possible. If you are a student, then you may be wondering what sort of travel arrangements you can make for your holidays. Students rarely have enough money to go anywhere very expensive, and the chance...

He stood, gripping the sides of the counter, his fingers white knuckled from the strain. I'd seen my boss, Mr. Burke, stand there countless times before, studying the inventory, looking for just the right item for the customer, but I'd never seen him like this; his face and neck a livid red, his neck muscles strained, beads of sweat on a brow that only moments before had been dry.I heard Allison, his assistant whisper, "Go get Mrs. Burke." Someone scampered away, relieved to escape the tense scene. I stood there frozen, uncertain what was happening, even more uncertain what to do. After all, I was just part-time help, spending a few summer months between college semesters learning about the real...

What are alternative lifestyles and why would they require alternative housing? To answer the first part it is easiest to give examples. Then the answer to the second part becomes self evident.One winter we were camping in our conversion van at a hot springs area in Arizona. We met a man who sold stuffed animals on the side of the highway. Having been through a bad divorce, and having little money, he was living in the van at places like these hot springs. Every day he drove off to the nearest highways and set up his stuffed animals for sale. He claimed to have sold $4,000 worth the first month, so his low cost living meant he could save the money and get back on his feet.Meanwhile, another neighbor...

If you are in debt you are a slave, literally. Yes I know that slavery was abolished 150 years ago but that was just one kinddebt is another but you have the same problem and that is lack of freedom. When people become debt free (often when they consolidate debt) they cant believe the weight that is lifted and they cant believe how stupid they were for ever going into debt in the first place. They would gladly have the chance to do it over again and not drive that new leased car and not go on all those exotic vacations on their credit cards tab and not eat out as much and not live in the nice part of town in the expensive apartment with the gym membership. They would put off those luxuries in order...

After you have decided that you are going on a family vacation, the next step is to decide where to go.

While the tourism industries of both cities have been trying to make the towns into family vacation destinations (Las Vegas a bit more than Reno), these towns are not originally geared toward family.There is very little in either city that is...

Because Hawaiian shirts are so popular, many new manufacturers have entered the Hawaiian shirt market. With so many companies selling these popular items, it is not hard to find cheap Hawaiian shirts. When buying a cheap Hawaiian shirt, however, the buyer should make sure that it is cheap only in price, not in quality. Many high-quality, 100-percent cotton shirts can be found for as little as $10. These shirts are so deeply discounted because they are manufactured in extremely large quantities and on cotton, instead of silk or rayon. Also, these shirts tend to be made somewhere other than Hawaii, although the only way to tell is usually by the shirt's tag. When buying a cheap Hawaiian shirt, make...
