Out west there is a place that words and pictures can only begin to describe. The awesome landscape, the breathtaking view of the open space that spreads out before you is something that we should all strive to see at least once in our lifetime. I’m talking about the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

The first time someone visits in the Grand Canyon they can truly appreciate the vastness and wonder of it all. You can enjoy the view from above or go on a guided excursion down in the canyon. The best way to experience it is to do both.

Once you are in Arizona, there are plenty of other things that you need to do as well. If you are a golfer, you need to head to Scottsdale, Arizona and play a few rounds. There are over 300 golf courses all over the state, but Scottsdale is well known for its golf.

Rich in Native American culture, while in Arizona you can visit with different tribes to learn about their history and customs. Local artist make everything from pottery to rugs to woven baskets. At different times of the year you can also experience festivals and special events put on by different tribes.

If you like nature and being outside, then Arizona will not disappoint you. There is hiking, biking, canoeing and horseback riding among other things. Even though Arizona is known for hot weather, it is not humid, so many people find it very tolerable all year round for outdoor activities. It has become a favorite vacation place for those wishing to escape the cold of winter.

One of the favorite activities for many people to do is to just get in the car and drive to explore every nook and cranny of the state. There is the beauty of the dessert as well as lush, green places alive with vibrant colorful flowers. When on the road, you can feel the vastness of the state as a country drive can mean not seeing a car for a good period of time. Don’t forget your map!

Arizona is a great place to go for a family friendly vacation as well as a romantic getaway. From the beauty of the Grand Canyon to the abundance of nature to the rich history of the state, there is something for everyone waiting in Arizona.

Have you ever run through the airport? I have and let me tell you, it is not something that I want to do any more than what I have to. I have been ushered out of line at the airport and rushed down to security because the line was so long and so slow that I was going to miss my flight. There are times when all of us are running a little further behind than what we want to be running but there are ways to shave some precious minutes off of the wait at the airport. Here are some tips that will help to get you from your car to the gate in the shortest time possible.

1. Online Check In – One thing that you should take advantage of is the online check in that many of the airlines now offer. Although you have to do this within about 24 hours of your flight it will help you to make the trip from the car down to security much faster. They have kiosks inside the airport set up for those of you that have taken advantage of online flight check in and you can also use one of the porters that are outside and will take your bags and check you in. The lines outside are generally much shorter and move a lot faster than the lines inside. Just make sure that you tip the porter for his trouble.

2. Prepare for Security – Don’t wait until you are in line at the security check point to prepare. You should walk into that line already prepared to go straight through. Some of the things that you can do to speed up the process is have your cell phone and any other objects in your pocket stored in your carry on bag, wear shoes that are easy to take on and off, be ready to take out your video camera and laptop and place them in a separate bin and have your ticket and id ready for inspection.

By keeping these two things in mind when preparing for a trip to the airport you will help to speed up the time it take you to get to the gate. This will give you extra time to sit and relax with a cup of coffee or whatever you like, or if you are running late it will help you not to miss your flight.

A lot of people want to be in business for themselves. It gives you a level of freedom that you generally don’t get to enjoy if you are working for someone else. I mean, let’s face it, if you are working for someone else you are lining their pockets with gold while you are eating dirt in most cases. Perhaps you want to go into business for yourself because it allows you a greater amount of freedom to decide when and where you are going to work and that gives you more time for the more important things in life like spending time with your family. But what are you going to do for a living so that you can make ends meet? Well if you are willing to live a simple life then you can get by on really working only about 20 hours a week more or less. I’ve done it for years. Here are some of the things that I’ve done to help pay the bills.

1. Start a cleaning business - Yes it might not be all that glamorous but it does pay well. I’ve done office cleaning and floors for grocery stores for years. The work is generally done at night so that is a consideration but it pays well and it gives you time to yourself while you are cleaning.

2. Work with apartment communities - Are you handy? If you are you can get some work helping out with the maintenance department at one of the local apartment communities. This pays well, depending on what you charge of course, and is a great way to earn some money. Generally you will have more work than what you can handle if you are good at what you do.

3. Wash some Windows - Window washing is enjoyable and profitable. If you land a few businesses with monthly accounts you can end up earning a fair amount of money. Try looking at some of the local car dealerships for work because they tend to have a lot of windows

One of my favorite timeshares that I own is the Disney Vacation Club timeshare points. I own a few other timeshares as well, one in the Caribbean and another in Hawaii, but I don’t always take advantage of those timeshares because they make me take a week’s vacation at a time. Now I do love to get away and I tend to go away often but taking a week away someplace where I am out of touch for an entire week really is a difficult thing for me to do. That is why I enjoy the points system so much when it comes to timeshares because you don’t need to take an entire week at a time and since I live in Florida it is a great thing for me to just pick up and go on a quick one or two day getaway at one of the Disney properties whenever I want. But you still need to make your points go as far as you can, here are some tips to help you to make them work better for you.

1. Weekdays rule, weekends drool - If you really want to make your vacation points last a long time you need to drop the weekend and holiday trips. I have 250 points to use throughout the year and I take advantage of every opportunity to go away but I do not use them on the weekends if I can avoid it. The points tend to rise sharply on the weekends and I can go twice as many days if I make them a weekday getaway. Some friends of ours use their points for going away for a week at Labor Day. It takes a lot of their points away for the year and they aren’t able to go away as often.

2. Shop Around a Little - Different Disney properties charge different amounts of points at times and at different times of the year. If you are going to go to Disney on vacation for a day or two and you can stay for a few points less at the Wilderness Villas than you could if you stayed at the Disney Boardwalk why not take advantage of the lower points price. If you spend the days in the park you can still enjoy the comfort of the Disney room at night and if you like hanging out at the Boardwalk take a bus over there and spend some time.

Yes, sometimes it takes a little creativity to make your Disney Timeshare points go a little further but in the end it is well worth the effort.
