Tip #1  Get A Super High in Vegas

Zero GravityOh man, talk about flying high, thanks to the folks at Zero-G you can fly weightless in space above the glittering lights of Las Vegas. Put this one on your Bucket List! Every kid since the 50's has dreamed of bouncing around weightless doing somersaults, flips and chasing bubbles of water. Hooked by films of astronauts in space, the fantasy lives on.

Zero Gravity Too Climb aboard G-Force One at McCarran International Airport and get ready for the ride of your life. After reaching altitude, the plane performs a series of parabolic flight maneuvers which produces windows of weightlessness long enough to practice your flips, dips, spins and Olympic sized leaps. It's a multitude of fantasies rolled into one; a sky diving free fall (without the wind and no worries about chute malfunction), a space walk, experience Lunar 1/16 gravity or walk like a Martian at 1/3 gravity. If you're not brave enough to jump out of an airplane, this is definitely the next best thing. Have a look at some of their video's, they're hysterical - GoZeroG!   (MORE)

Tip #2  Now THIS is What I Call Romantic!

Pearl Guest House TahitiImagine this, you and your beloved wing your way to Tahiti to stay in one of only five Polynesian bungalows stretched along the powdery white sand beach at the Pearl Guest House on the island of Manihi. I call your partner 'your beloved' because anyone who would spring for the cost of a vacation to Tahiti these days is truly a person of magnanimous gestures and unprecedented generosity. Although to be honest, the Pearl Guest Houses Havaiki are tops among the few affordable lodgings in Tahiti. The island of Manihi is world famous for the Tahitian black pearl farms which dot its pristine waters.

Black Pearls TahitiSo here's the part that gives me the goose bumps of anticipation! Guests are invited to play "pearl lottery" for about $25. 'Your beloved' is invited to snorkel out to the black lipped oyster beds and choose a promising mollusk. Upon returning, co-owner Joachim assists you both in opening the shell and whatever treasure awaits inside is yours to keep. The possible shapes of a Tahitian black pearl range from baroque, to teardrop or perhaps perfectly round. You also get to keep the shell, which is often as beautiful and captivating as the pearl itself.   (MORE)

Tip # 4 Take An RV Tour In Europe

RV in EuropeBring your love of RVing to Europe this summer! I've always thought RV adventuring was an American thing, 'get your motor running, head out on the highway' across the United States, but I'm clearly very wrong! Europe, Australia and New Zealand (to name a few) all have thriving RV and campground industries. In fact, joining an RV tour through Europe may be the best way to travel off the beaten path and see multiple countries in one outing.

We've found two tour companies that offer wonderful itineraries to wind your way through Europe for a month or more in the company of other RV enthusiasts: European Motorhome Tours and European RV Tours. Traveling with either of these companies is a terrific way to enjoy the company of folks from different counties and experience many cultures all in one small friendly group.  (MORE)
