FAMILY.....Spring vacation on a budget? Here's how you do it
(BPT) - Spring break is coming and after all the frost, wind and chill of the winter, you’ve earned some time to relax. So why not treat yourself to a little vacation? If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend and you’re worried about your finances holding you back, there are ways to take an enjoyable spring vacation without blowing your budget. The five tips below can help you make the most of your spring vacation without breaking the bank.
* Make sure your car is ready to go. Road trips make for a more affordable spring break than air travel, and the cities you visit along the way are half the fun. Make sure your car is ready for the trip by changing the oil, checking the tire pressure and making sure the windshield washer and power steering fluids are filled appropriately. You can handle these tasks yourself or take your vehicle to your local mechanic for a tune-up. * Travel with a plan. Unfortunately, your vacation will last only so long, so make the most of the time you have. Travel sites like Dream Plan Go and Trip Advisor offer great resources to help you pick a spring-break destination and learn about the unique features of a given place that go unnoticed by most visitors. You can also control expenses by avoiding locations that will be too costly when you arrive. * Make communication easy. Looking for an affordable way to stay in touch during your trip? TracFone provides you with affordable cellphones and no contract plans with nationwide coverage on the largest and most dependable networks so that you can stay connected wherever you go. And TracFone is the only no-contract service provider with Unlimited Carryover that never expires. That means you’ll keep all of your unused minutes, texts and data as long as your plan is active and in use. * Go outdoors. If you’re looking for an affordable spring vacation idea, getting back to nature can make for a memorable vacation. Camping at a national park is more cost efficient than staying in a hotel, plus you can fill your days with hiking, sightseeing and other inexpensive activities. Some people may not be too excited about vacationing in the wild, but after months cooped up indoors, nothing beats fresh air and the chance to gaze up at the stars without seeing your own breath. * Expand your hotel horizons. Want to hit a popular destination but can’t afford the lodgings? Expand your radius a little. Inexpensive hotel rooms can be found more easily in the cities that border major tourist destinations. If you have your car with you, the room savings will make up for the extra gas you’ll need. Spring-vacation season is here and you’ve earned a break, so why not take one? By applying the tips above, you’ll be able to enjoy the relaxing vacation you deserve and ensure your budget survives until you return to work once again. Cast members participate in dress rehearsal for Hairspray at Bangor High School. The play is scheduled for Thursday March 5 and Friday March 6 at 7:00pm and Saturday March 7 at 3:00 and 7:00pm.

Toilet Seat Issue Resolved A Utah man has invented a clip-on urinal to attach to a toilet to end the age-old argument about men not putting the seat down.
Dan Garvin says he came up with the gadget, called The Main Drain, because he kept getting shouted at by the women in his house. The attachable urinal can be easily installed and removed from the bowl in 'seconds' and people can sit on the toilet while it is connected. Garvin, 27, said: "The idea came about when I was 15 years old, and had to share the bathroom with my three sisters. "I would always get told off for leaving the seat up, or making a mess when I didn't aim well." The Main Drain is also designed to reduce 'splashing' and is made from 'lightweight, high quality, hydrophobic' materials. It can be adjusted so people of all heights - from small children to adults - can use it. The Main Drain took Mr Garvin six months to design and costs £30 and can be pre-ordered on fundraising website, Kickstarter.
