There are a lot of decisions to make when you begin planning a vacation. Are you going to bring the children, or will it be just a romantic getaway? Are you going to camp under the stars, reserve a hotel, or stay in holiday rentals? Do you want adventure, or just ordinary sightseeing? While you are contemplating your choices, here are a few more to entice you out of the house.

If you don’t have time for a full vacation, you could take a miniature vacation. Day trips could be to nearby historic sites or amusement parks, with something a little extra. For instance, while visiting Disneyland, you could take a morning hot air balloon ride to get a bird’s eye view of Florida. Orlando Balloon Rides will serve you breakfast as you float around. If you’re in Las Vegas and you like to get up early, Wild West Horseback adventures invites you to the Maverick Ranch for a cowboy’s breakfast and trail ride through Nevada’s desert landscape.

If you like the trail ride, you could try a longer western adventure in Wyoming, where Wagons West Wyoming will take you on an authentic covered-wagon trek through Bridger-Teton National Park. You’ll be a little closer to nature after sleeping under the starts and eating from the chuck wagon.

If you like your creature comforts, you can see a large city, like Dublin, from the comfort of someone else’s home. Reserve a holiday rental and be right in the middle of life in the city, close to local attractions and shops, and able to cook your own food if you want to stay in. In Dublin, you could take day trips to nearby castles and keep the holiday rental as your home base.

There are a lot of different ways to see the world. Choose a way and a place that fit your style and go exploring.
