Honkey Tonks, Southern Cookin' and Drinking On A Nashville Guys Weekend
If you are considering a visit to Nashville for your next guys weekend, you are likely a country music fan. Make sure that the Grand Ole Opry is on your list of things to do!

Virgin Voyages Is The Perfect Cruise For A Father and Adult Son Guys Getaway
For all you guys who are looking for an extraordinary way to bond with your adult son, there's a great promotion going on right now with Virgin Voyages.

Imagine sailing the Caribbean, Australia, Mediteranean and soon (in 2026 the West Coast), without being surrounded by obnoxious little ones while also being able to embrace things like sustainability and a cruise culture that breaks the traditional barriers that may make some folks uncomfortable.

Fort Wayne Indiana Is A Great Guys Getaway Destination
Fort Wayne is a relatively hidden gem when it comes to destinations for a guys getaway. It is in a fantastic location - less than a 3-hour road trip from Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Indianapolis but it offers a diverse collection of activities and adventure for guys that love baseball, outdoor adventure, cars, trucks, and of course food, and craft beer. I've visited here a few times before to attend the Vera Bradley outlet sale and each time we visited I noticed "one more reason" to come back with a group of guys.

Tips for Renting a Car for a Road Trip
Renting a car for a road trip is something that some people do for family trips to see relatives when they want the extra space that a mini-van can offer, but even if it's a group of guys headed out on a guys trip to a neighboring city for a ball game - renting a car can be a great option. For a hassle-free road trip, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the rental company's policies—age limits, additional driver fees, insurance coverage, fuel policies, and mileage restrictions. Choose the right car for your needs considering passengers, luggage, fuel efficiency, terrain, and weather conditions. Understand the diverse insurance policies available and select what suits your trip best. Use fuel-saving strategies like proper route planning and tire inflation. Also, prepare for unexpected costs, like fluctuating gas prices and toll fees. As you explore further into these tips, you'd uncover more insights to support your adventure.

Steam Engine Train Rides In The USA: Scenic Trips and Rail Museums To Visit
I love to travel, and steam train rides are one of my favorite things to do when I visit a new area. Unfortunately, I find that while there are lots of places to ride an authentic steam train, it's often an afterthought when folks suggest things to do in an area. Let's change that! These steam engines have a special place in my heart - as they do with millions of other guys and even some women too!
These locomotives are giant hulking marvels of engineering that represented the pinnacle of technology in their day but are still amazing to experience. In our age, where we covet silent, clean, smooth, and safe modes of transportation, these great mechanical beasts bring us back to a day when none of that was required - just getting the job done and opening up new opportunities to expand and profit. Additionally, I find that while many of these rail museums offer novelty rides such as "Thomas The Tank Engine" or "Polar Express" tours, simply riding the rails allows you to go places and see things that are otherwise inaccessible by car or foot.

Exploring the Fort Wayne Firefighters Museum: A Journey Through History and Heroism
There's no shortage of automotive museums around the country but I'm a total sucker for stuff that is unique and especially when it celebrates something masculine - like firefighters or military for instance. The Fort Wayne Firefighters Museum is celebrating 50 years in 2024 and it is one of the coolest places that I've had a chance to walk through in many years. From antique pumpers and steam powered firetrucks to learning about what life was like in the firestations that our fathers and grandfathers worked in... there's something for everyone here and it's right downtown in Fort Wayne, Indiana!

What You Can Do With Unused Airline Miles And Other Loyalty Points
I'm probably like a lot of you guys - I'm sitting on a literal mountain of hotel, airline, and car rental miles, credit card points and other loyalty credits from various sources. For some brands - like my Marriot and Hilton points, these are being saved up for an awesome "free vacation" at some point but with others such as my 300,000+ AAvantage miles from American Airlines that I banked while in San Diego, I'm frankly not sure what to do with them. I don't fly American Airlines anymore since Delta is the big player out of Detroit. Because of this, I've started thinking about what I can do with those points besides redeeming for a flight somewhere. At one point I'd just looked at them as being something to bank like cash but the reality is that every year the industry continues to devalue them by changing redemption rates, adding fees, and restricting what flights you can redeem them for. This isn't cash in the bank, it's an asset that becomes less and less valuable every year!
In short, don't let those unused airline miles or loyalty points go to waste. Use them creatively and practically in your journey from tenant to homeowner. Trust me, every bit helps.
