Rumor has it that a lot of those “economic stimulus” tax rebate checks are going to be used for travel this summer. That’s actually pretty good news, since travel affects so many segments of the economy.

I’ll actually be travelling more this summer than I have in the past three years combined. Between two planned family vacations and several business trips, I’ll be gone more than I’ll be home.

All of my travel with be via air (who can afford to drive anywhere?), and I’ll rent a car at each of my destinations so I can do as much exploring as possible. Usually the only time I don’t use a car rental is when I’m traveling to some of the largest and most congested cities – in which case cabs are easier. Travel this summer will be to smaller cities, with Las Vegas being the largest.

Speaking of car rentals, I always check to see if Advantage Rent A Car has an office in the city I’m travelling to before I go. Previous rentals with them have gone very smoothly and have been very affordable.
