GOING ON VACATION? TAKE US ALONG
Like to travel? Want to be in the paper? Do we have a deal for you. We want to see you on your vacation -- holding a Herald-Leader. Send us the picture and tell us where you are and when you were there. You must include your name, address and a daytime phone number. Send it via e-mail to vacationphotos@herald-leader.com (it should be in JPEG format, at least 3 MB in size and the full image file; no cameraphone photos, please), or mail original photos to: Vacation Photos, Lexington Herald-Leader/Features, 100 Midland Avenue, Lexington, Ky. 40508. Photographs run weekly on the Sunday Travel page and on kentucky.com. Pictures will be on the Web site for two weeks (then we'll change to a different set of vacation photographs). Photographs cannot be returned and publication is not guaranteed.

Boys gone wild: More men enjoy vacation with the guys
When travelers saw Larry Meadows and his buddies on vacation, they assumed they all worked together. Wrong. Or that they were all friends from the same town. Wrong. Or that they were in some special club. Wrong again. "I'd tell them we're on a 'mancation,' " Meadows said. "That kind of clicked with people." A lot of people. Without realizing it, Meadows and his friends -- Bill, Paul and Chris, who have taken a yearly vacation together, just the boys, since 2002 -- have been part of a growing trend in the travel industry toward getaways for guys. Meadows, who lives in Tampa, Fla., likes to think he and his fellow mancationers coined the term (they registered the site), which is now a buzzword in the travel business. In just a few years, the male-bonding vacation has morphed from predictable bachelor-party fare to more adventuresome outings centered on golfing, fine dining, extreme sports, wine appreciation and even spa treatments.
