Houseboating Adventures

Saturday, March 1, 2003

(NAPSA)—Travelers and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere are discovering houseboating adventures that offer upscale amenities and complete relaxation for an affordable price. Taking your vacation ona houseboat avoids the hassles of crowds and driving and is easy on your budget. Here are 10 reasons to consider a houseboat adventure: 1. It’s affordable. A houseboat vacation lets you bring along a group of friends or family and have meals, entertainment and other expenses divided by 10 people, which makesfor an affordable vacation. 2. There are no traffic jams. Houseboat vacations offer the freedom to move about beautiful lakes and waterways at your leisure without the distraction of traffic or crowds. 3. You don’t have to leave the country. America’s lakes are plentiful and many are located in National Parks, forests or recreation areas—from Lake Mead, Nev. to Lake of the Ozarks, Mo. 4. You can re-connect with family. Many families hold annual reunions on houseboats. 5. It’s easy. A professional staff member will instruct you in the operation and rules of the water, plus how to beach the boat and tie it up. You’ll usually cruise along at speeds from eight to 10 miles an hour, allowing you plenty of time to enjoy nature and the scenery. 6. A houseboat is a home away from home. Rental houseboat companies such as Forever Resorts provide everything you need aboard, including linens and towels, air-conditioning, queen size beds, TV and stereo, a fully equipped kitchen and many other comforts, plus a waterslide off the rear of the boat. There’s a grocery service to stock your houseboat with food. 7. Experience almost endless entertainment. A houseboat vacation gives you plenty of time for fishing, skiing, and relaxing. Ski boats or fishing boats can be towed and the upper deck of the houseboat is great for a relaxing sunset or sunbathing. You can explore the waterway area’s cultural attractions. 8. Visit national parks. View wildlife and explore things you wouldn’t find in your own back yard. 9. Spend the holidays with family or friends. A houseboat provides a unique way to get together. Forever Resorts offers packages that include the turkey with a Thanksgiving houseboat rental. It can be a great way to start a new family tradition and not worry about having everyone at your house. 10. A houseboat trip can connect you to the outdoors and the environment, to the preservation and conservation of our natural resources. When you consider your vacation options, think about a relaxing, floating adventure where you can immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings of America’s lakes. Fish, swim, kayak, stargaze, ski, laugh and make new memories. For more information, eall 1-800-798-9810 or visit www.ForeverResorts.com.
