vacation

Here's the tale of one foreign traveler who inadvertently landed in Billings recently - instead of Australia - on his way to Sidney... er, Sydney.

Summer is just around the corner, it's time to start planning those Montana road trips/vacations. Here are some tips that will ease your stress and save money

Hiking, trail rides, a day trip to Yellowstone!

Perfect for a big group to get together and have an awesome vacation.

I am a massive dog lover, but clearly not the biggest dog lover in the state of Idaho. Nope that award goes to Frances and Dennis who have constructed this home that perfectly resembles a Beagle dog. You can stay in this one of a kind pup palace.

If you submit for the grant you have a chance to win as much as $5,000.

What made it so fantastic is that we could be on the Strip having a great time but when we wanted to relax we could go back to the house and just unwind.

The weather was about 80 degrees, and there was lots of stuff to do while we were there.

You could win 2 roundtrip airfair tickets, 2 night hotel stay, 2 tickets to the show, 2 VIP Experience passes & $500 in cash!

We went snorkeling, spent time on the beach, and even saw quite a few humpback whales!

Although every time we come back from Las Vegas it is amazing how happy we are to be back in Montana.

The trip was amazing, but the time went by so fast. Some of the big highlights for me were of course, seeing family and friends, eating some delicious fish and chips from Ivar's, and the concert! Although because the concert had so many big acts they didn't have time to do all of the songs I wanted to hear...
