It’s that time of year, kids are back to school and schedules are settling in. Now is the time many begin to think about their vacations plans for the next year. When people think vacation, tropical often comes to mind, that is the easy part. The hard part is knowing how to narrow down your choices as there are a plethora of options to pick from.
Here are our expert tips to picking the right tropical vacation for your family.
Time
While many people worry about cost, time is actually the number 1 place to start when planning a vacation. There are so many things to consider but time IS money. Before we can sit down and discuss options within your budget, we need to know how long you have to vacation. When thinking time, you need to consider, how long you have from start to finish, how many days you want to spend at your destination. Once this is decided we can move to the next step.
Money
Your budget for vacation will often dictate where you can and cannot travel. Our Guru Travel professionals have all of the inside tips to get you to your dream destination. No matter what your budget we have options for you and your family. Things to consider in your budget are: transportation, resort stay, car rental, gratuities, clothing, food, souvenir money, extra cash on hand, passports, excursions or activities.
Near or Far
Once you have your time and money figured out. It is time to think about where you want to go. The first thing to think about is do you want to stay in the US for travel. If you think you might want to travel out of the country to take advantage of Mexico or the Caribbean, it is important to know that you will incur the added cost of passports for each member in your travel party. If out of the country travel is not what you are looking for right now, our Guru Travel Professionals are Hawaii Specialists as well as experts in Florida and California travel.
Adventure, Relaxation or Both?
Knowing your travel companions is very important. My personal preference when traveling tropical is to have 75% relaxation and 25% adventure but there are different ratios for different people. You want to make sure that you know the goals for your vacation before you plan it.
