Taking a
vacation, whether traveling close to home or halfway around the world, is
always a welcome break. A vacation gives us the opportunity to discover new
places, try new foods, enjoy new experiences and create long-lasting memories,
whether we spend that time by ourselves, with our family or with friends.
Traveling also allows us to get away from the daily routine and stress, and
come back more relaxed and re-energized. We will actually benefit from a taking
a vacation in different ways, depending on our age, as our needs and desires
vary.
Young adults
may enjoy traveling on their own or with a group of friends while discovering
all the wonderful things the world has to offer. This is a great opportunity
for them to travel without their parents for the first time. They get to enjoy
the feeling of freedom that comes with becoming an adult, while leaving the
responsibilities of college life or work behind while vacationing.
Parents who
travel with babies and young children may find vacation condominiums or
timeshares quite attractive, as they usually include all the amenities
available at home. An extra bedroom may give the opportunity to invite the
grandparents on the trip and enjoy a multi-generational vacation under one
roof. An all-inclusive resort stay is another option, as it may provide daycare
and exciting activities for the little ones while parents get enjoy some
well-needed one-on-one time. A cruise is also a great way to invite
grandparents and other family members to join in on the fun and take part in
the many activities available on the ship.
Parents of
grade-schoolers may opt for a vacation located by a large entertainment or
theme park, or be more adventurous and explore an exotic location out of the country.
This is a great opportunity to create strong family bonds that will last a
lifetime while doing fun activities together. A day at the pool or the beach is
a great way for the kids to enjoy the outdoors while adults have a chance to
relax.
Parents of
tweens and teens have a lot of options when it comes to spending time away from
home as a family. A vacation is a great opportunity to teach older children
about their own country’s history by traveling to other U.S. states, or to
discover another country and culture altogether. Foreign destinations and new
activities that the family hasn’t tried together before are a great way to
expand everyone’s mindset and create lifelong memories.
Older couples
may want to travel alone or with other couples, and they often manage to make
new friends while on vacation. Traveling is a great opportunity for empty
nesters to not only discover new places they may not have had a chance to visit
yet, but also rekindle their romance and enjoy some relaxing one-on-one time.
How old were
you when you enjoyed your very best vacation and why?
