The only thing is I was raised to live life with zest, fun and a smile. No doubt these times and the days that surround us truly tests that philosophy. My feeling is, it's at these times when you have to dig most to the meaning of that type of life philosophy.
That being said, there are still ways to enjoy life, and not the stop and smell the roses stuff. Getting away and taking a vacation, getting outside your area and seeing something new, these are things that are well documented as to maintaining a healthy life. The only issue is times are tough and tight.
A new trend I've noticed online are ads and marketing of what are called mini-vacs. Basically these are deep discounted vacation packages that throw in accommodations plus some other kind of premium like free passes to a local amusement park, spa, golf or whatever. The only catch is it's a way of marketing timeshare properties.
Now I know, I know that the term timeshare has a stigma attached with it, almost to that of a used car sales person. I'm here to tell you, though, these packages are incredible. One such site that offers these Vacation Package Deals is ReserveVacations.com. I've seen vacation packages that have included trips to places like Cancun, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Orlando. What's more the value on the packages is insane!!! I'm talking about room night costs at about 30% of regular rates. Then, like I said, they throw in things like a trip to a spa, coupons to high class restaurants and so much more.
The point of all this is, good old capitalism shows it's merits once again. In the face of a sagging economy and poor consumer confidence, the market innovators search for ways to make it. This type of offering fits that bill.
So keep your eye out for deals like this, because they're on the rise.
