It's that time of year again when many have scheduled precious time-off to visit family or go somewhere different. Depending on your reasons for travel and companions involved, i.e. wife, husband, girlfriend, kids, the place you pick matters just as much as what and who you bring with you.
Picking the right spot to spend your days of leisure is almost as fun as going there. Imagine yourself relaxed, or contently distracted - what do you see yourself doing? And where?
Don't let the Mexican beer commercials persuade you, let your dream vacation be solely yours. Whether you're fishing in the open ocean or hiking the great outdoors - remember, this is your vacation. And if you have multiple companions and their tastes to consider, your chosen destination is ideally one where everyone can find just enough of their version of paradise to have a good time.
Paradise can come in any number of shapes and sizes: free time to read, relaxed atmosphere to dance, casual ambiance for conversation, nice weather for a sail or snorkel, pleasing sights and sounds for a photograph or thrill ride. Don't let your idea of fun be limited and let the holiday season of 2010 be one to remember - even if you end up going nowhere but where your feet and imagination may lead. Make it a good one!
