In Branson, you can get a fantastic view of the fall foliage from the Shepherd of the Hills Inspiration Tower.  The open-air observation desk will give you beautiful views of the Ozark mountains and trees.

If you’re in Pigeon Forge and the weather is a bit too chilly for the outdoors, take in a show.  The Miracle is the world-famous re-telling of the life and times of Jesus Christ, and Magic Beyond Belief is the two-hour magic show from Terry Evanswood; or, for a real down-home good time, check out the Tennessee Shindig Show.

If you want the nature, visit Orlando’s many free nature reserves, such as Black Hammock’s alligator attractions, the Big Tree Park featuring the 3,500-year old Cypress, or the World of Orchids.

In Willamsburg, there’s always the Jamestown Settlement that will get you in the mood as Thanksgiving approaches.  Better yet, drive along the Colonial Parkway to experience both finely-kept history and the rolling hills full of oranges, yellows, and red each autumn.

There aren’t many top notch quality shows, attractions or events that you can find in multiple destinations. Sure there’s Disney Land out in California and Disney World in Florida, but the two are far from equal in comparison. There are casino companies that own several properties throughout the country and some the world, but again, relative comparisons are impossible. There is, however, one delightful show and attraction that is offered in three different cities where each live up to a standard equal to each other. We submit for your review, Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede Dinner Show.

The Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede Dinner Show is offered in Pigeon Forge Tennessee at the Dollywood Theme Park, Branson Missouri and Myrtle Beach South Carolina. 

Which ever destination you find yourself you can expect the same fun and entertainment. Guests to Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede Dinner Show are treated to a special night that starts off with the trademark Carriage Room Opening Act and is followed up by the spectacular main event shown in each venues main arena where you’ll enjoy a scrumptious four course dinner and dessert. 

The entire event is engaging and exciting for the whole family and children of all ages. Each show includes high flying fun, live animals and horses, all presented in the back drop of dramatic lighting, heart pounding sound and pyrotechnics. 

Reserve Vacations offers vacation packages that include tickets to the Dixie Stampede in each of the following cities. Find more information at Pigeon Forge Vacation Packages, Branson Vacations and Myrtle Beach Vacations to see pricing and accommodation information.

If any of you are in your late 30’s and older, and are male, I’m sure you can recall a few movies that may be burned into the brains of your consciousness forever. Actually, you probably recall the actress. Just to leave the suspense a little further, the movies I refer to have the titles of “9 to 5″ and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”. Does the actress from these movies ring a bell. How about Dolly Parton.

Well Miss Dolly and her form fitting physique have come a long way from those days. One might even say that she is a brand unto herself, and you know what she is. Dolly Parton some years ago put together a vision that became real in the form of Dollywood. A theme park with multiple locations, but the vision was that of a fun, wholesome family experience. One of the great events at Dollywood is most definitely the Dixie Stampede. A dinner show of fun, guns and high flying excitement. From rassling horses to comic relief, this show is a classic to be enjoyed by everyone.

Well Reserve Vacations has two vacation packages that offer tickets to this great show and you have a choice of two great destinations to enjoy. 

The first is is in Pigeon Forge, where you get a great vacation package for 3 Days and 2 nights with accommodations at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Pigeon Forge plus two tickets to the famed Dixie Stampede Pigeon Forge. 

The second takes you to Branson Missouri, where a great vacation package coined the Branson Shown Stopper Vacation Package offers great accommodations at the Rodeway Inn Branson plus two tickets to the Dixie Stampede Branson Show. The sum total on this package….$139 !!!

So get a little bit of old fashion Dixie and wholesome family fun with a vacation package that includes the show Dixie Stampede.

Pigeon Forge Tennessee is a great vacation destination. Actually, it’s the perfect “All American Family” vacation destination in our opinion. Wholesome activities, attractions and events await all those who plan a visit to this wonderful town located in the Ozark Mountains.

Reserve Vacations offers two great hotel properties that provide vacation packages to suit just about any type of taste.

First let’s start out with the Microtel Suites at Music Road, located at 2045 Parkway in Pigeon Forge. The site has complete coverage of this property, but here’s a little bit more of a summary so you can plan a vacation, should this be of interest. Visitors and guests to the Microtel Suites at Music Road will be pleasantly surprised to find they are right across from the Miracle Theater and the Black Bear Jamboree. Actually just so there are no surprises, the Miracle Theater offers shows that depict Jesus Christ in spectacular form.

Pigeon Forge is waiting for you. Don’t miss out with these great discounts.

One of the toughest things to do, it seems, whether it be a holiday at home, or a trip, is to stay regimented with diet and exercise. In my opinion there is no doubt that the trip away from home is just awful when it comes to staying fit.

Why is this? Well if you’re in a hotel you have that damn candy and soda machine right down the hall from your room. Oh, yeah, don’t get me started with going on a cruise because the word buffet is synonymous with cruises. 

Ok, so what do we do when we go on vacation to keep fit and on the right track. Well let’s stick to doing it with the hotel travel.

1. Pack the running shoes and the work out clothes. This makes the ability to get to the gym much easier.

2. Try and find hotels that offer fitness centers. Also, make sure that the fitness centers are what you need. Not a medicine ball and a thing to stand on that vibrates a belt. 

3. Refuse to get the key to mini bar in the room. Lot’s of empty calories my friends. 

4. Pack some healthy snacks that won’t go bad. Protein Bars, a bag of almonds, you know what’s right. Fruit may be an issue.

As you see going away does not have to throw you off from being healthy. You just have to plan to beat the vacation bug of being bad.
