As a pet lover I never want to leave my dog behind when I go on vacation. I find putting him in a kennel for a week to be rather barbaric since at home he’s a member of the family. So I try to pretend like it’s “summer camp” for him where he can go spend time among other four legged canines like himself. He seems to enjoy it — he gets excited about it — but I really think he’d rather be with me. So whenever I can I bring him on vacation with me.

Cape May New Jersey rental homesI was stoked to find many pet friendly Cape May New Jersey rental homes when I went online to see where to stay while visiting beautiful Cape May. Even though there was an additional $150 pet fee it was still a huge savings over leaving him at home in a boarding facility. We were a short four blocks to the beach and absolutely loved it there. We had a fully equipped kitchen in this furnished home as well as a washer/dryer. That came in real handy. Any one of the Cape May New Jersey rental homes that was listed as pet friendly would have sufficed I’m sure but we’re glad we chose the one we did. It had a fenced in private yard with was just perfect.

Taking a vacation to North Carolina to visit some relatives? Maybe you can get a chance to slip away and do some fishing. I found a place that offers Ocean Isle NC boat rentals that’s a pretty good deal if you don’t have your own boat. If you don’t fish but you’d like to get out on the water they also have a pontoon-style boat that holds up to 12 people. Talk about comfort! It’s actually more stable than a pontoon boat too.

Ocean Isle NC boat rentalsThis Ocean Isle NC boat rentals dealer has three different types of boats. Two of them are idea for fishing and seat up to six people. The 22’ Penn Craft has a Yamaha 115 hp, 4-stroke engine and a Bimini top for protection from the sun. It easily planes to 25 mph. It’s well suited as a fishing boat as it has live wells, fish boxes, coolers and rod holders.

Ocean Isle NC boat rentals also offers an 18’ Sea Pro rental with a Yamaha 90 hp, 4-stroke engine. This will plane to 25 mph and also has a Bimini top for protection from the sun. This was my favorite even though it was the smallest. The half day price was just $150 plus fuel and they offer a long term discount deal where if you rent it for 3 or more days you get $50 off each days rental! Now that’s a sweet deal!

Even though I have the best job in the world because I get to work at home, sometimes it’s good to just get away for awhile. I love to travel and have been around the world a few times. That’s probably why I was so taken with the job opportunity that presented itself to me earlier this year. While I always imagined I’d be really good at being a travel agent, I never dreamed I’d one day have my own home based travel business and that’s exactly what I have! And even better is that it’s not even my full time job!

home based travel businessThe home based travel business training I received was thorough and complete. I was trained by knowledgeable and experienced travel agents who knew about every type of travel conceivable including worldwide vacation, group and corporate travel planning. The company that trained me, Outside Agent Link, has been welcoming independent agents from around the country for over a decade and is a subsidiary of Thomas Hogan Travel; a full service accredited travel agency, located in Myrtle Beach, SC. Thomas Hogan Travel is an associate member of one of the largest travel franchise companies in the world; Travel Leaders. They have been in business for over 25 years, and has a rock-solid reputation of integrity and unmatched client and agent service locally and around the world! Just knowing all this reassured me that this was not a fly-by-night company, that it was a legitimate and respectable company helping to set people up with a home based travel business.
