Entertaining With Other Campers Enhances Your RV Experience

Our family loves our RV experiences when we're venturing solo. We also enjoy RV trips with our friends. We have our annual Doheny State Beach RV trip every April. When the snow flies here in the mountains we count down to our time at the beach with friends.

Most of us are busy prior to the vacation so it's not until we arrive that we catch up on conversations and happenings. After we share our 'you won't believe what happened to me on the way here' stories we start talking plans: surfing, shell collecting, running, bocce and of course food. Occasionally we'll have an immediate meal already planned for our first day of arrival. Still we look forward to menu pooling amongst our friends: creating meals jointly that allow us to try new foods and preparations and keeps us from preparing multiple course meals. Plus, cooking in an RV can be a bit tight especially when limited in cooking appliances: we leave the convection and toaster oven at home. So we know that even though we have grocery shopping nearby, we'll have to be smart about how we create our meals: duck confit may be out, but easy fish tacos are a must as are burgers and even pizza off the grill (delicious!).

We suggest a type of meal for the evening and then each one of us takes on a component of the meal. For example, if we decide burgers is what we're all up for: we'll volunteer the fixings, the condiments and the veggie burgers. Others will jump in with: buns, cheese, side dishes, plates, cutlery, and etcetera. We decide on a time and an outside location and then get to our campers so that we can prepare for the evening. It shortens our preparation time by only having to provide for a portion of a meal and allows us to enjoy the fun part: socializing and enjoying our surroundings.

Sometimes we'll even offer a roundabout potluck schedule: appetizers and Mai Tai's at "Needs a Break", shrimp Caesar at the "Peterson Mobile" and s'mores and fire at "The Lazars". Participating in group meals keeps RV vacation life spontaneous simple and fun. Plus when camping, food always tastes good.

So go ahead and join your neighbors or friends in creating meals at your next RV destination. By keeping the meals plans simple, you'll enjoy the company and introduction to new food preparations and so will they. Bon Appetit!

Strip Clubs: Enjoy Your Experience With These Tips

It amuses people when you mention that there is a certain etiquette to enjoying strip clubs. Etiquette! In a place where the entire point is to sit and ogle women who are taking their clothes off for your enjoyment? Believe it or not, it exists. In fact, it not only exists but it can severely hamper your ability to have a good time if you choose to ignore it. Now, it may not be your fault. You may not have ever heard that there was any such way to behave. Consider this your exposure. Here are some tips that will help you have a better time the next time you hit the joints in your town.

First Tip: Tip

The best tip you can get about having a good time in strip clubs is plainly that: tip. Every night some joker is going to come through the door with just enough to buy a drink and pay the cover charge. He'll watch the dancers until the sun comes up, but he won't part with a single crinkly dollar for the entertainment. Simply put: don't be that guy. Even if the club allows you to be cheap (and many of them will), you're basically no better than the guy who stiffs his waiter or pizza delivery driver. If you do those things as well, consider a major mindset change.

Dress Well

If you were heading to your favorite dance club to potentially hook up, would you wear sweatpants and a stained shirt? Doubtful. Yet many guys think it's okay to walk into strip clubs wearing something that would be more suited to painting the garage. Have some self-respect. No, you're not going to walk out with a dancer's phone number, regardless of how you dress. That doesn't mean you can't make an effort. Some of the higher tier clubs will turn you away at the door for shabby dress.

Keep Your Hands To Yourself

It's a disrespectful way to think about it, but compare strip clubs to zoos if you must. How long do you think you would be allowed to stay at the zoo if you were leaning over the railing, attempting to pet every exotic animal you came across? The same is more or less true for these establishments. You are free to look all you want. Unless you've been given the explicit go-ahead, though, your attempts to touch are going to be met with severe disapproval. In many cases, this means being thrown out. Don't tempt the bouncer to spring into action.
