Earlier this summer I took an awesome road trip from Chicago to Charleston, SC. My chariot this time? One of the BEST road trip cars I have ever had! The Ford Flex Platinum Edition is everything you would want from a a road trip car.

Honestly, it would be a pleasure to have this as my every-day alternative to a mini-van or SUV if you need that extra space for kids / soccer gear etc. too.

One thing that sucks about mancations is that most destinations simply aren't dog friendly. Now you can take a mancation and bring man's best friend with you when visiting the Grand Traverse Resort & Spa. Northern Michigan is one of our favorite destinations and now it has only gotten better!

Planning for a road trip as part of a mancation can be a long and arduous process. There’s the deciding where to go, sorting out a hotel for the area, and a rental car should you need one.

Car rental can be one of the most important aspects of planning a road trip, especially if you are heading abroad to embark on yours. Here are a few things you should bear in mind if you’re thinking of hiring a car as part of your trip.

While this is obviously a site for guys looking for mancation ideas, those of us who are married know it is also VERY important to not forget about your wife too!

That's why I wanted to share that Gaylord Hotels has announced a very cool promotion to help you celebrate your anniversary this year. Essentially the promotion is a buy-one-get-one deal where you get a free second night at any of their properties with the first night at the normal price.

Man Tripping is going down to Nashville and the Gaylord Opryland next week to check out that location, but they are also in Dallas, Orlando, and a brand new one in Washington, DC.

The promotion is good through August 2010 and is good during the month of your anniversary, each location may have slightly different terms, but here is the link for the Gaylord OpryLand's Anniversary Package.
