You trip is coming together. You are so excited to get out of town, but you still have to book that car rental. Unfortunately it will take some time, but don't kill yourself looking for the killer deal. Here are quick tips to make sure you got it right.
I love Entertainment Books, especially when it comes to traveling. That little card can score you some good hotel or car rental deals, plus the gas coupons, not to mention all the food coupons that it's known for.
Ok, we are not fans of Mazatlan. Its a very loud busy city. Lots and lots of traffic. There is a pretty drive you can take along the coast line through the city. We were able to enjoy that when we went from the Golden District to Old Town Mazatlan. Old Town was a really fun day. There are some amazing buildings there and if you walk a ways there is a huge market in which you can buy and trinket, clothing and food you would like. A few too many pig heads for me, but it was fun and interesting none the less.
Food. That always becomes the source of concern when we travel. We don't like fast food, deep fried food or just plain unhealthy food, so we have to search, and search we do. Before I left I had spent time on the web trying to find some really good places for us. We don't normally like chain restaurants because they lack good quality taste and they lack nutrition. The first day we were having such a good time in the park we decided to try something just outside the gates and hopefully not too heavy. Heavy never works when you are riding rides all day long. We ended up at Famous Daves, which we didn't know at the time was a chain restaurant. I ordered a salad, which wasn't bad, it was all ice berg lettuce (see I'm even a salad snob) and it had a BBQ dressing on it that I was not real fond of. But since it was a BBQ restaurant that is what they had. Everyone else got hamburgers and fries. The Hamburgers were greasy and the BBQ sauce was real thick. I don't think anyone finished their meals. The kids each got pops and we had water. The meal cost us $48.00. It was a huge disappointment.
I truely think I get more excited about visiting roller coaster parks than my kids do. As a matter of fact when we have one of these trips planned the kid in me comes out.
I am almost finished finalizing the details for our Cedar Point trip that we are taking in August. I spent the day on the web checking out motels, rates, certain rooms and most importantly rental car hours.
The weather has been so bad around here I can't wait to get to San Jose and get some sun. I know it's not the southern California sun, but at this point I just don't want to be cold any more.
