Labor Day plans?

The collapse of retirement portfolios and the steep recession are forcing many cash-strapped adults to save money, savor family togetherness and have fun with a “staycation.” To some the word vacation brings to mind empty wallets and choruses of “are we there yet?" from bored kids. Many people these days are finding that “staycations” can be a fun, inexpensive and different alternative to high-priced, high-stress vacations. If your European vacation plans have gone the way of your 401-Not-So-Great, welcome to recession nation, discovering places that are nearby with activities that create a vacation experience, yet aren’t run-of-the-mill or overrun with out-of-towners, is the challenge. So what are your plans for Labor Day? Lots of people are planning on just staying home and doing the backyard barbecue with family members. Whatever your plans for Labor Day, the divas wish you safe in this holiday weekend. Hurricane Earl is headed to the Northeast.So preplan!
