What? Pack your corn? What in the world, why would you pack corn?
I read a post on a Disney planning travel community back in 2004 that still sticks with me. Partly because it was just so odd that I have a hard time visualizing it and to remind me that travel looks different for all of us.

I scour Groupon to save money on dining when we travel. Really I save on dining to give us ice cream or late night dessert money as you can tell from reading some of my posts. One place caught my eye because it was not only near our Airbnb rental but it also had food I knew Daughter would like.
Fuel, Recharge Yourself. They offer a full menu under 500 calories. I didn’t really care, i just want delicious food. We stopped in here Sunday after hearing Mass for dinner. They offered outdoor seating and indoor. We chose indoor by a window to watch the masses leave town.
I did an offer similar to this a couple of months back for a Sam’s Club membership. Its worth it for the few items I buy there for our small family. The best deal for us is Feta Cheese and the tubs of Greek yogurt so I stop once or twice a month for these and to pick up a team snack.

So maybe only travel geeks would find a fare map fun? I have a couple of times searched for a weekend away on the Southwest Airlines Getaway Finder. The map lets you enter your starting airport, dates and price range.
Voila! The locations under $236 round trip from Minn/ St Paul airport. Philly at $176 looks like a great getaway!
