So I’m thinking the other day that if I’m going to fly to Florida I will need a car rental. This is still all very hypothetical but I’m hoping to be able to go. I just want to have some sort of idea as to how much this trip will cost me now to see if I can do it and I know it’s very expensive to rent a car but at the same time it sometimes is not too bad if you can get a good deal.

Right now I’m looking at advantage.com since they have a few good deals that could help me out. Of course what they have now could change by the end of summer when I want to go, but who knows maybe they won’t. Right now I’m looking at the 19.99 and up deal the closer I can get to the 19.99 the better though. I don’t need a huge car. I just need one for me to drive around for a few days. I guess I’ll just have to plan on that and wait and see.

I love to hear when business decide to go green. I think many more need to think about it. The cost is really not that great and the benifites are amazing. It helps wild live and makes a better envirionment for your workers and visitors. You want people to feel good when they come into your place of business and for some knowing it’s designed green will make them feel really good about comming in and checking out your product or service.

Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center is one business that has gone green, yes a nature center is usually a very green place, but most of the time time buildings and other stuctures are not built to fit into the green design trend. In this case these buildings are. In fact Shangri has been one of the few projects to be Pink flowerawarded with the U.S. Green Building Council’s Platinum certification for LEED®-NC. This is something they should be proud of and you should want to see more of. Not only is this great for their Public Relations, but it’s good for the animals and plants in the nature center since they benifit from the lack of chemicals and other mass produced products that could harm them.

Shangri La Gardens is located in Orange Texas just east of Houston. It’s along the gulf cost and in a great part of Texas. I have never been there but I have always wanted to go to that part of Texas. The only part I have been to is Dallas and just north of there. But I have heard the gulf area is a great part to be in. A little humid maybe but still worth a trip. Now it seems I have a new reason to go there. I would love to check out this nature center and see what exactly they have done to go green.

It’s been a while since I have been to visit one of my favorite cities, Chicago. I use to go there a lot with my father before he passed away. I love going there because you can find so many things to do Chicago. I don’t live far and I know the area well so I already know what I want to see and where it is. I of course would have to go to a cubs game as that is something we always did. Something new I’m adding to my list when I go next year. Is the Neocon convention, it’s a closed design and architecture industry event and I could go this year as I’m a student, but I don’t have the money to. It’s sad, but I can’t do both the NASCAR race and that, they are a week apart and I already bought the race tickets.

Anyway if your looking to check out Chicago or are maybe looking for Things to do in Las Vegas or Dallas you should check out a sightseeing tours with trusted tours, right now they are doing a great GPS system giveaway when you sign up for their newsletter. I have already done this, so I cant but you can! If you decide on a trip to Vegas let me know if you liked it I still want to get out there and am thinking of using trusted tours for some of it.
