Types of Vacations

A vacation...that's what most of us need these days. We're buzzing from one place to another, doing chores, fetching ours kids to piano, taekwondo, tuition classes, gym, etc. Others? Probably spending most of our waking hours working or running our businesses. There is only so much that our bodies and minds can take and soon, we will need to take some time out for some real stress-less activities... vacations. Well, the type of vacation that you end up taking usually depends on who is going and here are some popular types of vacations.

The learning and experiencing vacation. Usually, this would be a to place that you have never been before. Places like Boston and Washington are incredibly historical and if you have never been to their museums or historical cities, you have not completely visited the city. More often than not, a vacation where you get to learn and experience different things can give you a new perspective in life. For teenagers and kids, they come back more knowledgeable and more interested in knowing more about other parts of the world...a world traveler in the making, maybe.

The relaxing, nature, spas and resorts type of vacation. For the busy professional and business person, THIS is the perfect vacation. It is time taken off of your daily schedule to do absolutely nothing but relax. Think Bali. Yes, getting foot massages, being pampered from head to toe, having no reason to get out of the sunbathing chair, surfing the waves like there is no tomorrow and then biking around in trails, enjoying the fresh aroma emitting from the flora and fauna. For some, they may even take the time to indulge and learn more about mind-body experiences like yoga and meditation...the perfect way to remove yourself from the superficial modern world, even for a little while.

Vacationing with kids. With our busy everyday lives, we hardly have time to spend with the kids. They are either with our parents, caregiver or nanny when we are working. Some parents pack activities like tuition into weekends for the kids too which is a horrid thought. Anyway, for these parents, the perfect type of vacation would be to take the kids out to a place where they can bond and spend carefree days learning about one another all over again. What a rejuvenating thought.

The shopping and night life vacation. THIS is perfect for the young professional who earns and saves a lot because there will come a time when they may want to just let everything go and splurge! Not advisable for everyone but if you have reason enough to celebrate, why not spend it on a wild time and let your hair down?

So, what's YOUR favorite type of vacation?
