Have a Great Vacation

By Kermil J. Fogarth

You worked hard for a year and now you need a vacation to relieve all that stress and to try and come back with memories worth sharing with friends.

Taking your family along, if you have one, implies the fact that you must consult them when choosing a location. Surprises are always welcomed, but if you have children and you decide to spend your vacation in a city that has nothing fun to offer them, then the surprise turns into a nightmare. Going away from friends, even if for a week, seems to children something that requires an effort, so try and make them want that vacation by offering them exciting new things to do, things that can combine education and pleasure.

Having chosen a location the next thing to consider is the weather. It probably is different there than at home. For example, the mountains tend to be a little cool even in the summer so you should bring along clothing that is appropriate for that kind of weather. On the other hand, if you are going to a tropical or hot location, don't forget to bring an umbrella. In the tropics though it is summer most of the year, it usually rains every day and you don't want heavy rains to ruin your vacation.

Visiting various places around the world can be exciting. If you don't have budget constraints, a trip around the world to see the "seven wonders" is always worth it. A good place to visit is the Pyramids which are filled with mystery from ancient Egyptians, produced by a technology and architecture barely matched today. Walking through these wonders of the world brings out the mystery and contrast between them and the people and splendor of the area.

Or you could choose to vacation at home. Relaxing and catching up on lost sleep if travel would be too exhausting. Getting together with friends, having barbecues, sitting around the pool with your children will help to forget the trials of the past year.

A vacation can simply be time spent at home winding down or an exciting trip to exotic places. Planning the vacation can be as intense as actually taking the vacation even if you stay at home. The vacation should not be stressful when the purpose is to relieve stress.
