You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is”? I’ve heard this saying a thousand times, but I never thought much of it until recently.

I have taken it upon myself to show you 10 places that are featured in the game and are worthy of a visit. At the bottom of the page will be a map where all of these locations can be found.

Drive, Don't Fly
If you‘re going to travel, and get the very most out of traveling, consider driving instead of flying. There are so many interesting and beautiful things along the way that you shouldn’t miss. We recently took a trip down the East Coast. It was a 12 hour drive. We had briefly considered flying. Then I thought that it would be a two hour flight, with two hours at the airport prior to that. That totals up to four hours of annoyance and it doesn’t even count getting out of the airport, finding luggage and getting a rental car. Then you have to do the whole thing over on the way back. That just seemed like a whole lot of BLAH to me. Driving allows you freedom to go at your own pace and explore the surroundings. Flying is sometimes necessary, I do like the convenience at times. However, it feels a lot like being part of a cattle herd getting shuffled along. So for this trip, we opted to drive and I am so glad that we did.

Vacationing with Children
When I hear people talk about vacationing with their children there is always this sense of dread in their voice. They always sound as if it is going to be such a hassle to travel with their kids. They talk as though they aren't going to enjoy any part of the trip. They talk as though it will be stressful and exhausting and nothing like a vacation at all.

Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders in the world, located in Agra, India. It was build by emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died in childbirth. Taj Mahal took approximately 20-22 years and 20,000 workers to complete. It was totally complete in 1653, so it is also one of the oldest buildings in the world. It is covered by pure white marble and the walls of the "Taj Mahal" were decorated by expensive diamonds and gems. It is believed that all the precious things such as expensive stones and diamonds were stolen from Taj Mahal by Britishers. When Britishers took the power over India, then Taj Mahal went through some damages and Britishers stole most of the precious stones from its walls.

Planning for Florida
Here's the thing about deciding to travel. The need can hit you at any moment; and all of a sudden you've got this itch, and whenever you're driving to work this thought lingers in your mind. "I could leave right now," you think, "I could leave now and when I come back I'll be someone new..." Please don't follow this urge. As incredibly tempting as it is, please set a plan and wait until you have the money.
