The Several Sorts Of Vacations

By Clinton H. Xavier


One of the things people love most about life is going on vacation. Most people look forward to taking a couple days or weeks off work when they can do whatever they want. When we think of going on vacation, we may think of getting in the family car and going for a drive to Aunt Matilda's house in the country.

But the truth is that there are plenty of different kinds of vacations. Depending on your interests, lifestyle and relationship or family status, you can choose from a huge variety of vacations that will be perfect for you no matter who you are. In this article, you'll learn about just a few of them.

Everybody knows about the traditional vacation. You gather the kids together, drive or fly somewhere, spend a couple weeks there, and hope you have a good time. When you come back you invite all your friends over to watch a slide show of the wonderful pictures that you've taken. Many people do this every year.

Another kind of vacation is the sports vacation. These are great if you are young and active. You can travel somewhere and practice the sport that you enjoy most. You can go skiing, golfing, surfing, or even hiking or white water rafting. These kinds of vacations are usually good in the Spring or Summer, unless you go skiing, of course.

More and more people have been going on personal retreats for their vacation. These are run like seminars, with some teaching, and some interactive exercises. These are usually held in big hotels for a couple of days, but they can sometimes last up to a couple of weeks. The topics are usually anything from personal growth, to wealth building.

Educational vacations are also becoming more popular. These are where you study a subject in a college classroom setting. About half your time is spent learning theory and background, while the other half is spent learning from a hands on experience.

There are obviously plenty of different vacations to choose from. All you need to do now is choose on that you like and start planning your next adventure.
