A few weeks ago my girlfriends brother stopped by for his first visit to our new apartment.  He didn't really know what to get us for an apartment warming gift, so at his most recent trip to Modells, he picked us up 2 New York Jets promotional travel mugs.  At first I thought they were cool but I wasn't sure how much use they would get.  After a week of using my new money managing website, apparently it wasn't too keen on me getting Starbucks/dunking donuts twice a day.  So I began to brew my own coffee at home and leave it in the refrigerator for iced coffee whenever I wanted.  It's been great for convenience and that website says I save about $30 a week or $120 a month or $1,560 a year.  It gets pretty in depth!

This month is flying by. I can't believe its almost time for halloween. Last year my girlfriend and I went to six flags for fright fest. I went on pretty much every ride. We also went to one of the fright fest rides. We were walking through a maze, and real life zombies would pop out of no where. It did scare the life out of me. Since my experience was very good, I'm deciding to take another trip out there this week. Last time I had spent so much money on buying drinks throughout the whole day. This time around I'm going to have my Promotional Travel Mug handy. For those looking for some halloween activties come check out fright fest at six flags.

Just when I thought our ride to NY tonight was just going to be " just another ride" my wife amazed me.  She came home at lunch time today to pack and get ready for the ride and she got us a something special, promotional travel mugs.   We are always traveling at night, so our little one can sleep, and we are always loading up on the caffeine to get us through the ride.  Our last mugs have some miles on them and it is always fun to get a new one.  The new mugs are 21 oz and cup holder freindly. 

Summer's heating up and people all over the country are beginning to plan their holidays.  Lots of us want nothing more than to hop in a car and escape for a few days.  But will high gas prices prevent Americans from traveling? 

According to the Los Angeles Times, "prices from L.A. to Seattle are red hot -- meaning the cost of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline runs from $3.75 to $4.47 as of Monday."  And they're not much better elsewhere in the country; average prices include $3.77 in New York, $3.55 in Massachusetts, and $3.60 in Washington, D.C.

Still, rates seem to be dropping overall.  In fact, in the South, the average price for a gallon of regular gas ranges from $3.12 in South Carolina to $3.23 in Arkansas.  Furthermore, according to a new Yahoo! Travel survey, more than half of vacationers between the ages of 18 and 64 will take a road trip this summer.  So stock up on your promotional travel mugs and get ready to hit the road!

Do you want to swim in a pool of sweet hazelnut syrup stirred into an iced coffee concoction? Have you dreamt of an exotic blend of coffee beans raining down from the sky? Then today is a close to that as you'll get...unless you plan on collaborating with Willy Wonka or the creators of MTV's Cribs in the near future.
