Resolved Question: Suggestions for camping or lodging with family in Arkansas and Tennessee?
Ok, we're vacationing on a budget (about $500) and taking three children ages 8, 3 and 1 and we need some family friendly and budget friendly places to stay along the way. Help is needed especially from people who live in either state, where would you recommend for tent camping and hotels. I'd like to stay in a cabin but I've been looking them over and can't find any cheaper than $130 a night. So if anyone knows of any cabins in good areas that are any cheaper please tell me! Also, wanted to know which activities I shouldn't miss. It would be easier to stay in a campground that had plenty of daytrip type things we could do nearby.

Resolved Question: Good midwestern singletrack biking vacation destination?
Hello,
A group of us are looking to take a mountain biking vacation next summer and we're just looking for some suggestions. We would like to do a week-long trip, with about 4 days of biking and the rest of the time available for driving. Now, economical times being what they are, we have some restrictions on where we can travel. As much as we would love to go to British Columbia or Moab, we will need to stick closer to our homes, which are in Wisconsin and Minnesota. So, does anyone have any good ideas of places to go biking (again, singletrack mtn. biking, please) in the central North America area? If you have a map of the continent in front of you, please imagine or actually do this: Put your pencil on Buffalo, NY, and draw a circle counter clockwise from Buffalo through Ontario, Manitoba, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, a bit of Oklahoma, northern Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, some of Pennsylvania, and back to Buffalo. It does not need to be a perfect circle. An oval would be acceptable as well. Do you know of any great places to spend 4 days mountain biking anywhere inside that circle/oval? We're looking for some challenging trails that are good for full-suspension bikes. Suggestions for lodging (vacation properties, interesting hostels, or camping preferred, no hotels please) and fun area nightlife or decent brewery tours in the area of the bike trails would also be welcome. Thanks everyone!

Resolved Question: Is it ok to stay in a hotel while I am interviewing for a nanny position?
I am going to a final face to face interview for a live in nanny position. I am traveling fron Connecticut to Arkansas. They family has paid for my flight and will be transporting me to and front he airport.
My question is.... Is it wrong to want to stay in a hotel over night and not in their home? I have spoken to them on the phone, at length, but am a little weary staying a person's home whom I am being interviewed. I would be happy to pay for my own lodging, but do not want the family to think I do not care.
Please give me some advice on how to handle this situation!
Thank you!
