How much longer until vacation?!
The kids have been asking the same question again and again as they wear you out with their excitement. They have their bags backed. They have their favorite tourist sites picked. They have even kept their rooms clean after you explained to them you wanted to make sure that you were able to come home to a clean.
They do not, however, have to keep asking the question. You are just as anxious as they are. You and your husband have talked about resort vacations before, but this is the first time you have booked one. You are looking forward to someone else doing the cooking; someone else doing the cleaning; and someone else having to get up early and go to work. You plan to let the children sleep in and then follow them to the beach whenever they are ready. In fact, you told them that you do not even care how many times they want to come and go from the beach in a single day. You are close enough to walk and you plan on those sandy walks to and from the beach to serve as your exercise.
You do not want to jinx anything, but if anyone asked you right now you would tell them that finally selecting one of the three resort vacations your husband suggested is probably the best parenting plan you have made so far.
What the Kids Plan to Do on Vacation You told your two children that they could each pick one of the items off the paid list, but everything else that they would be doing would be from the all inclusive resorts listings. They children had no arguments. Your 12 year old daughter said that she just wanted to take the free wake boarding classes and suntan. Your son said if he had to pick one of the extra fee items he would, but he really just wanted the three S’s: Sand castles, surfing, and sunshine!
What the Dad Plans to Do on Vacation
Dad’s wish list is slightly more expensive than what the kids want to do, but not much. He wants to make sure that he gets to play at least two rounds of golf, but he is willing to get up for the earliest available tee times and has offered to be available for beach patrol the rest of the time. He plans to help the kids learn to surf or wake board. He also plans to perfect his sand castle building whenever possible.
What the Mom Plans to Do on Vacation
Resort vacations have an entire menu of possibilities, but Mom has very few things on her list. She is interested in watching the kids play in the sand and the surf. She also plans to get in the water herself. Maybe to her knees is all. just enough to cool off after sunbathing and reading on the beach. Mom’s plans are pretty simple. Enjoy the fact that someone else is cooking and enjoy the natural exercise of chasing the kids back and forth from their oceanside vacation.
All Inclusive Vacation Packages Have a Little Something for Everyone
Resort vacations vary according to location. At a Cabo San Lucas resort, for example, not only has relaxing beach options, but also huge fishing possibilities as well. site of the Bisbee’s Black and Blue Marling Fishing Tournament, some come to the location to compete or watch the world?s richest fishing tournament with a jackpot of over $3 million. The tournament itself is held annually in October, but Bisbee’s Offshore Tournaments also host other less competitive and more relaxed fishing tournaments in the area.
Other than fishing, many other resorts offer other opportunities like swimming with dolphins, zip lining, and sail boating. although some options, like night time wildlife Jeep tours, may cost extra, many all inclusive resorts provide enough free options to keep most people satisfied and busy.
Make sure that you are not one of the 75% of people who let their vacation days go unused. Making time to travel with family members is a treat everyone deserves.
