Visit the Outer Banks

February 22nd, 2009

Visiting the Outer Banks rentals in North Carolina is one of the many places that we have taken our children on vacation. When we lived back East being able to get away from all the big city stuff and just relax was amazing. Plus you can rent a house for a week and invite friends to help share the fun.

Time to go green

February 9th, 2009

We recently started replacing our light bulbs with the new energy efficient bulbs as they start to burn out. One of the interesting facts about some of the lights is that when they are turned on they will slowly light up to full power which helps in their overall efficiency. While it takes some getting use to they have been a great way to go green and the projected energy savings will add up. Just simple things that you can do around the home can help make an impact on the environment and on your monthly budget. Even businesses are starting to go green to save on their bills and cut down on overhead by simply replacing their overhead lights to more cost effective bulbs.

Traveling smart

February 2nd, 2009

If you have taken a flight lately you know that your costs have gone up due to extra charges for baggage. Many airlines are now charging for the first bag and then for each additional bag that you check on. This has created a scenario where everyone is now carrying on luggage that is the max limit. The dilemma this causes is that all the overhead space is being used up quickly and you are actually forced to check your baggage at the gate. This does save you the $25 per bag fee, but can delay your getting off the plane. For many smart travelers they are investing in higher end luggage like Rimowa which are designed to stand up to the tough demands of travel as well a smart design to help you carry more in your luggage.
