Americans are unhappy with our elected officials and the job government is doing. This has motivated them to act and political campaigns across the nation are fueled by a new enthusiasm and desire for considerable change. President Obama and his family will vacation on the Gulf Coast in August. This trip will hopefully encourage tourism in a region hard hit by the BP Oil Spill and change perceptions that the beaches and resort areas have been devastated by this disaster. The Gulf Coast businesses are the ones facing imminent disaster. On their previous trips to the region, both the president and Mrs. Obama have made a point of encouraging people to visit Gulf Coast beaches that are open and oil-free to help boost an area economy battered by the sharp decline in tourism that followed the spill. If you’d like to help by traveling to the Gulf Coast, we’ll speak to Sandy at Bayside Travel who will tell us about all the deals to be had.

Missing a day at the gym doesn’t have to mean missing a workout when you learn how to squeeze it in.

They started talking about ways to incorporate exercise with all of the other chores on our to-do lists. After all, we multi-task everything else. Why can’t we multi-task exercise, too? Soon they were doing squats while blow-drying our hair, arm curls while bringing in the groceries, and ab work while watching TV. They had found a way to Squeeze It In and added the dot-com to share what we have learned.
