Or . . . what to do if you don’t have enough time or money to travel this year.

Are you too busy or too broke to take a trip this year?  Here are some alternatives.  Contact your local Chamber of Commerce for a directory of all the museums, parks, and other attractions in your area, and/or check the Internet.  Then go to the ones that interest you!  Treat your home town the way you would any new city you’d be visiting.  For example, how many New Yorkers have never seen the Statue of Liberty?  Yet they’ll fly to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower! 

Find out what plays and concerts are being offered by local talent.  See what lectures are being held at your local library or college or are being presented by some local organization!  What about local sporting events?  Speaking of sporting events, try a new sport!  Rollerskate, ride your bike, learn how to play tennis or golf or how to swim at the local YMCA; or take dancing or piano lessons!
