If you've ever taken a vacation that exhausted you, then you already know not all vacations are created equal. What thrills one person might be the height of madness for another. Make your vacations count by choosing one that fulfills what your life seems to need most at that moment. Which of the following fit the bill?
Relentless Adventure
Have you been sitting behind a desk so long that when you go to sleep you dream about your computer screen? It's time to get away! Shrug off that business suit and strap on your hiking boots for a mountaintop vacation, or go underground and discover the beauty of a dark, jeweled cave. Learn how to parasail, take skiing lessons, or hold your breath and take the plunge with whitewater rafting. Let your structured life go for a few days and let the natural world sweep you away.
Off the Beaten Path
Are you tied to your Blackberry? Venture to a place where cell phone service is nonexistent, and your alarm clock is the sound of a happy, trilling bird. A cabin in the middle of nowhere is the perfect place to reconnect with yourself. Treat your soul to a long drive down a dirt road, volunteer at a nature center, or seek out a bed and breakfast inn nestled in the backwoods. Drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway or Pacific Coast Highway and stop off whenever the view moves you. Be inspired while you get away from the world!
Sleep Late and Enjoy Life to the Fullest
Are you held down by your clock? Do you want to forget about your life for a while? Take a trip somewhere you've never been. A wine tasting tour in Napa Valley, a sight-seeing cruise off the coast of Alaska, or an African safari just might be the ticket to relaxation. Break out your credit card on Rodeo Drive--but if that's too rich for your taste, cross the border for fantastic shopping in Mexico. Your vacation should be full of the excitement you've been craving!
Pampering Included
Had enough of working your fingers to the bone? Book a few days at an all-inclusive spa and let someone else take care of you for a change. Get a massage, take advantage of the sauna, and eat healthy food prepared by five-star chefs. If you want to take your honey with you, an all-inclusive romantic resort might be the escape you both need. No matter what pampering vacation you choose, there is one essential requirement: You don't have to lift a finger for anything at all.
