I love the title of Packed and Ready. As another road warrior who runs marathons and climbs big mountain, I have recently posted an entry on my blog site http://climbingandrunning.com/ about tips and tricks for climbing Mount McKinley aka Denali. Unfortunately, no Best Western in Talkeetna and none on the trail, but sure are in Anchorage as a gateway city.

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for your comment. Here are a few sights / destinations that come to mind:

Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Destin, Florida
Nashville, The Grand Ole Opry
Savannah, Georgia
Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia

Plus, never underestimate some of the great sights that might be a few miles from your own hometown. Some of my favorite vacations have been simple one-day get aways to a nearby location.

If anyone else has ideas please share them with us!

Good tips! I've had my share of sunburns. Recently I had to remove a lesion caused by excess of sun when I was young. Now I make sure I have the proper sunscreen before exposing myself to the sun. Thanks.

Thanks for the great tips. I have a few other ideas, especially for those with tweens.

Last summer, I took my 10 year-old daughter to New York and one of our highlights was the American Girl Place. If you have girls (and don't mind spending the cash) its a once in a childhood experience. There is something magical about three floors of dolls and accessories.

Another highlight for us was M&M world. We stopped in mainly to get out of the rain, but my daughter loved it. It even made it into her 5th grade country report as one of the must see tourist sites of New York. Ellis Island and its history also made a huge impact on her.

The Egyptian exhibit at the MET was another unforgettable stop. I doubt there is a kid alive that won't be enthralled by all the mummies.

For some reason, I remember really good food during my North America travels. Here's one quiet gem:

If you ever find yourself on the Gulf of Mexico, south of Tampa, past Bradenton crossing the gulf onto Anne Marie Island, stop at the seafood restaurant right at the beginning of the bridge. Fabulous food and an out of this world peanut butter pie, not to mention delicious key-lime pie. Yum!

When you visit Scotland you will originate lots of history, many mountains, and a land of lochs. Many castles, fortresses, and tower houses are sprinkled on the countryside. Edinburgh and Stirling have the status of having some of Europe's most striking strutures. All of the Scottish Castles will beguile the ingenuity.

The Highland Games will be occurring during the Luxury Singles Travel tour time and take place in many places in Scotland. Highland dancers and pipers and the colour and grandeur of the Scottish scenery which forms their array, Highland Games is a must on any visitor's Scotland itinerary. They usually comprise a programme of field and track events, piping and Highland dancing competitions and 'heavy events' like the tug-o-war, the hammer throw and tossing the caber.

Scotland is also known as the Home of Golf. Scotland has over 550 picturesque Golf courses. Scotland's prenominal Golf Ambassadors are Catriona Matthew, Steven O'Hara, and Sam Torrance.

One of the best tours that was offered this summer 2008 to Scotland was with Luxury Singles Travel. Included 13 whole days of exploring Scotland.

Don't forget to sample all the transportation options, especially if you're from a place with minimal public transportation. Challenge your child to plan the bus or subway route! A feel for the layout of Manhattan and the greater NYC is a great geography lesson.

Another great way to "green" your hotel stay is to stay at a "Green" rated hotel if available. A great resource for finding green hotels is http://www.istaygreen.org. The site has over 3,000 Green Eco-Leaf rated properties, "Green" hotel reviews, and has a Facebook like social networking side as well. It's a good resource to use the next time you're looking for a "Green" hotel stay.

Hey Neal, does Best Western serve English Muffins in their continental breakfast? I really enjoy their warm, toasty feeling in my mouth, and the way the nook's and crannies soak up the little pockets of butter. I know Thomas' English Muffins are healthy and are satiable to start my day off right, can this product be available for me during my travels?

There are just a few more weekends left for Daytona's WaterPark Daytona Lagoon open on the weekends. It is not as big as the Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon but just as fun. Plus you get to hang at the beach for a day too.
