Before you can even go on vacation, there is
one thing that you have to do, plan your vacation!
Remember, planning a good vacation takes time
and to get some ideas about where you want to go or what you want to do, you
can look at travel books, magazines, or online at sites such as Expedia, CAA, tripadvisor
and many more and do not forget, to talk to friends, family, coworkers and
peers. Chances are they have experienced some great and some not so great,
never shall return again, travel destinations. They are a great resource so
utilize them.
Whether your family chooses to go away or have
a staycation, there are many factors to consider when planning your vacation.
Some of the things to keep inconsideration when
planning your family vacation are:
- Location
- Accommodations
- Amenities
- Activities
- Weather
- Climate
- Culture
- Relaxed vacation or a jam packed busy vacation
- How you are going to get there?
- How many people are going?
- The ages of the people who are going
- Food and drink
- Budget
- And itinerary
Keep in mind when you are traveling. The first
time my family visited Hilton Head Island was in December over Christmas break.
It was not as warm as we had hoped. Also if you decide to go to Florida in the
summer, expect to experience a similar scenario as that in Summer Rental.
Planning can be hard but just think, once you
are on vacation, it will all be worthwhile.
Family vacations are actually the best vacations ever. I agree with the fact that they should be planned correctly beforehand to avoid any problems. When I was younger I went on a lot of family trips up North and they were the time of my life. If I ever travel with the family again soon I will keep the tips you have provided in mind!
ReplyDeleteFamily vacations are always exciting and full of unpredictable problems. It doesn't matter how good you are prepared, something has to happen every time. In my case, one of my brothers either had to get sick or lose his ticket, or break a bone in an amusement park, or be attacked by hungry seagulls ... All these things made our trips unforgettable even though in a bit negative sense. Thank you for a great post, Jessica))
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that the simple act of planning a vacation can bring a person happiness. Personally, I would love for someone to take care of all the details for me, but I can see how planning out exactly what you're going to do on your vacation is a happy experience: it's an anticipation thing.
