The American Queen Steamboat Company, whose steamboats roams the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee and other American rivers, is offering a special for those who book by Dec. 31. Book early, pay-in-full and save up to $600 per stateroom ($300 per person) on any of its 2014 American Queen or American Empress voyages 7 days or longer. It's website said the offer is valid only through Dec. 21 when I visited, but if you click on the "view details" link, you'll see that the deadline is actually Dec. 31. For example, a 9-day trip from St. Louis to Minneapolis, July 15-23, in an outside stateroom with a veranda (category C) costs $4,099 per person; the sale price is $3,899. In both cases, a $109 port charge is additional. I traveled on the American Queen steamboat in the Upper Mississippi and enjoyed the trip tremendously. Read about it here.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
