When most people go on holidays, they make a great deal of preparation. They book their tickets and hotels well in advance; they manage to get hold of much wanted tour guides and pay them a deposit; they buy up books on the intended travel destination and figure out the best way to cover the most in the limited time that they have there. Some of them even go to the extent of making a checklist of the greatest and the cheapest places to sample the local fare.

The work week can be incredibly hectic and chaotic for most people. There are weeks that go by that my family and I simply pass each other in the halls and fight for the bathroom. When the weekends arrive, we stare at each other as if we were strangers. We live for weekend trips. My parents own a beach house two hours from my home. That allows for us to take some well deserved weekend trips every so often. My husband and I strive to take at least one weekend a month for a family getaway and every other month we’ll add a weekend trip for just the two of us.

Do you want to know what we all need more of? This is a simple question to answer, if you give it some legitimate thought. Vacations! Yeah, that’s right. Do any of us really get enough time to wind down? Okay, Paris Hilton doesn’t count. As for the rest of us, we crave more down-time. I’m talking about just kicking back with a nice frosty brew and not a care in the world. That’s the way to live. Unfortunately it’s not that common for us Americans. Just look out our work schedules and ethics. Sometimes I can’t help but think how ridiculous it all is. We spend way too much time working and not near enough time enjoying life and the world around us. That’s sad! I can tell you right now that what I need is a nice ireland vacation.

What place are you just dying to go visit? Have you been clear around the United States yet? In all honesty, I haven’t even visited half the states at this point. Although I am anxious to see most of them. Typically if you talk to most Americans, they will tell you how much they want to visit France or Venice, Italy. Does this sound familiar by any chance? I’m sure if you have a teenage daughter, you’ve probably heard the spiel regarding Paris. We’ve all heard that one before. Fortunately we have an infinite source of data now days. The World-Wide-Web supplies us with any information we desire. Have you checked out Europe travel guides? This is a great way to begin your International adventure.

The Cayman islands in the Caribbean tend to be overshadowed by their bigger neighbors, but I like the intimate sound of them and I’d love to go on a Cayman vacation. Christopher Columbus was the first tourist, when he first spotted them in 1503, but they are a United Kingdom territory. Therefore, they drive on the left side of the road. The Caymans are made up of three islands, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. There is plenty to do here if you want to be active. Personally, I’d look forward to sipping my Pina Colada at the end of the day, and watch the sun set over the bay.

When I was single I had no trouble deciding where to go on my vacations. My friends and I just chose places with the hottest nightlife scene where we could drink, dance, and meet members of the opposite sex. But now that I’m married and have children, I obviously can’t go to those same destinations anymore. Instead, I need to find some great family vacation spots where we can all enjoy our time together.
