There’s probably no one in the world that would say going on a vacation is a bad idea. If they do, they have probably never experienced an all inclusive stay in vacation rentals on the beach. Having said that, however, have you ever been on a vacation that was so involved that when you got home you felt like you needed a vacation from your vacation? Even if you are staying in the most beautiful vacation rentals or luxury resorts and have the most wonderful time making memories with the family, there does come a point where to much vacation is not a good thing. Here are a few ways that you can ensure that your vacation is refreshing and relaxing instead of so intense that it stresses you out to think about going back!
Don’t go for too long
Yes, there is such a thing about as too long. That actual length of time will vary depending on your personality, who you are going with and where you are going. If you are only going with your significant other and staying in villa rentals on a quiet beachfront, you could probably draw out the vacation a little longer than if you were to go to Disneyland with the whole family. The main factor that plays into how long you go for is the relaxation element. If you are going to be able to relax and let your mind refresh itself, then go for longer. But if it is going to be an action packed, activity filled time, you may want to limit that to a just a few days if at all possible. Especially as we get older, those go-go-go all-day every-day vacations that we used to love as kids tend to get a little stressful, a little expensive and a little irritating.
Don’t plan for too much
The kids might want to have every day filled with things to do but if you are going to get any refreshment out of this vacation, you can’t do that. The answer to that may be in the type of vacation that you choose. You could either stay in vacation rentals area where they have a little of everything; a poolside or spa for you and water parks or activities on site for the kids. Or a great way to experience it all is to go on a cruise. You can participate in all the non-activities and let your kids go crazy, knowing that everything is already paid for and that your children will not be able to get too far away or worse, lost. That, in and of itself will give you the peace of mind you’ll need in order to be able to truly relax.
Pay for as much as you can in advance
Money is a stressful factor now that you’re an adult, if you’re like every other average adult. All inclusive vacation packages are a great way to be able to enjoy your vacation a little more. The more you can pay for, before you even arrive at your vacation rentals, the better. Any activities, food, drinks, spas, entertainment, board and whatever else can be paid for in advance or will be included in one overall price when you stay at an all inclusive resort which will eliminate the constant worry of having enough money to see you through the rest of your vacation. No one wants to be counting pennies and budgeting on vacation, but you don’t want to have to pay the consequences when you get home either so this is the happy medium.
Don’t let vacation be a thing that you dread. It should be an exciting time where the whole family can enjoy new experiences and makes wonderful memories together. The kids will always enjoy it but the parents should to. If you find yourself stressing out about planning a vacation, think about these three easy tips and take a minute to figure out where you’re not following them. Guaranteed, there will be something that you’re missing. Fix that and you’ll be able to enjoy your time just as much as the kids. You may be ready to come home when it’s time, but that’s better than dreading going at all!
