Air travel, food and those gas prices we keep talking about—with everything getting more expensive...
[From vacation_close_to_home_this]
Stuff is getting more expensive. Who said they weren't on top of things, there at GovGab? So there's a link (this is the good part) to the USA.gov ("Government Made Easy") site's recreation and tourism page which, it turns out, has a pretty nifty list of places to go and things to see, and includes a list of state tourism sites as well.
Meanwhile, speaking of gas prices, The Independent reports...
America's love affair with sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and pick-up trucks is finally over.
The gas-guzzlers that ply the country's freeways and clog its city streets and parking lots are falling victim to ever-rising petrol prices, rather than concern about the country's oversized carbon footprint. The fall-off in sales is dramatic however.
...which is a good thing because, if you do take one of those day trips, you'll be able to back out of your parking space to get home again. Or more likely, at least.
Or, of course, you could just take a bus.

can't afford it. a bus to nola costs me $118 and takes nearly a day; a train, upwards of $200 and nearly three, via south carolina. my car? around $60, about 9 hours...
That's amazing. The train I can understand - it's a shame how few direct routes there are - but the bus? The last time I went to Cincinnati, as I recall (it was nearly two years ago) the bus was almost half what I figured the cost of driving would be.
