We are currently planning our holidays and business trips for next year, at least for the first six months of the year 2011. I noticed that our previous travels have been really quick ones that we never really got the chance to go on famous national parks tours and savor every moment on foreign land. Sure, we got to immerse on local culture via food and shopping sprees but we usually lacked the time to visit and enjoy art in museums & theaters. So our priority for next year is to go on less number of trips abroad but we will make each trip longer than previous holidays. This is to make room for more activities in each destination. We have gone on Europe tours before so our main target is to go on Asia tours for a different perspective. I am currently doing my research and found that the site of Collette Vacations provide various resources and incredible information on different destinations. I cannot believe I never consulted this site before! The escorted tours and packages seem complete and extensive. I feel it will be a good idea to deal with them because the trips seem complete and extensive, just the way I envision our next trips to be.

My family has one thing in common when we go on our affordable family vacations – we love to enjoy a day in the pool with our mango shakes. With family vacation packages being offered by almost every hotel and resort this season, I can even plan more than one trip for the summer! Going out of the country would be our ultimate dream family vacation destinations – Breezes Hotels in Jamaica have great family vacation packages, who knows? We might go there soon!

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.
