Houseboat vacations are all about charting your own course. Your schedule is quickly reduced to the calm quiet of sunrise, and the colorful sunset over the lake. Days again become your own. Night skies return to the way we all remember them away from the cities - glittering with stars and inky black. Part of the fun of houseboating is organizing your houseboat trip - gathering your family or group together and planning the food, activities and fun.
