Unique Website Offers Web Surfers Chance at Fame

Andy Warhol had the right idea, but I don't think he was exactly on the money. He once said that, "In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes." Change that to, "Everyone will want to be famous for at least fifteen minutes," and I think you're on to something.

A unique website, www.iwannabefamous.com, aims to provide a stage for those who seek the fame and fortune of the limelight. Every day, one ordinary person is chosen to be highlighted on the I Wanna Be Famous site, the thinking being that exposure on the Internet will help that person's career. I highly doubt the next Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts will be discovered here, but you never know, and that's the allure of it all. As the site says, "Being featured on this Website may not make you famous, but we'll sure try."... (Continue reading)

Marco Island Vacations Discounted in May

As Florida vacation season comes to an end, off season discounts are soon to appear. Late spring in Florida can mean excellent travel prices for those on a shoe string budget. For Marco Island, one popular Gulf Coast destination, lodging rates are 30 to 70% below winter rates during May through December.

For visitors with school age children, May is often not an option as Spring Break is over and summer vacation has yet to begin.

Cheaper lodging expenses and the absence of crowds is a win-win for the budget traveler looking for some peace and tranquility.

GrandCanyon.com Releases First Annual Grand Canyon Summer Travel Guide

GrandCanyon.com’s First Annual Summer Travel Guide doesn’t say how big the Grand Canyon is, how wide it is, or how it was formed.

They ask us questions like ‘Where is the Grand Canyon?’ ‘How on Earth do I get there?’ ‘What’s the weather going to be like?’ and ‘Will my cell phone work?’”

Like their highly successful Spring Break Travel Guide (now in its 2nd Edition), GrandCanyon.com’s newly released Summer Travel Guide is available as a downloadable Adobe PDF format file on the company’s website. A “companion piece” to their popular “Grand Canyon Top Tours” brochure, the Grand Canyon Summer Travel Guide is full of practical information that travelers need, such as which airports to fly into, driving distances from major cities, and what to expect from the weather. In addition to the basic “How To’s,” the guide also offers many “insider tips” that Karlyn and his staff have gleaned from decades of living and working around Grand Canyon National Park. ...
