Vacationers Head For The Hills
Vacation time – a time when creatures from the land of steady habits undergo a metamorphosis and become carefree slingshot tourists, headed for all points of the compass.
Determined to have fun, they take to the highways and byways laden with all sorts of equipment; campers, boats, fishing rods and bicycles, and fun is what they usually find.
Of course there are minor irritations – the endless procession of suitcases crammed with things some member of the family just *had* to have, the bumper-to-bumper traffic in 90-degree heat and the kids embattled in a free-for-all, but somehow, arriving at the vacation destination erases it all.
For some, lakes and rivers provide the ultimate in entertainment whether it be in the next town or the next country. Others find world travel more to their liking.
Group travel has grown in popularity within the past few years offering the vacationer more for business or clubs arrange tours for employes or members at somewhat reduced rates thereby offering the individual a better vacation than he might otherwise have been able to afford.
Wherever the vacationer goes, here or abroad, for a weekend or a week, it is all a part of the good life. It offers a chance to soak up the sun and let the fresh air blow away the mental cobwebs.
