Every year millions of people around the world decide to take a vacation and travel somewhere to get away from their normal routine for a week or longer. Most of the people I know are very different and have very different interests, for this reason I began to wonder what makes the best vacation experience. Obviously everyone’s answer will be a little different and I would like to investigate which factors will make or break the experience for people traveling in groups, families, or just individuals.

Perhaps the most important and first factor that came to my mind was the group of people that you will be traveling with. For example a family with small children might decide a trip to Orlando would be the best for a Disney Vacation Club experience for the whole family. On the other hand a group of twenty somethings on spring break would most likely be looking for a completely different experience maybe a Cancun vacation would be in order for this group. A group of older gentlemen looking for a relaxing trip with business associates may choose a golf vacation allowing them to unwind and enjoy being outdoors with peace and quiet. These are just a few examples that came to mind when thinking of the different vacation experiences that different groups might be looking for. Another part of the puzzle that will factor into the group/individual level of enjoyment can be the activities to be found in the area being visited. If the people traveling together all enjoy the same thing deciding on a location can be very easy. Sometimes getting a large number of people to agree on one location can be a daunting task often times it is necessary to find a location with a number of activities so everyone equally enjoys their vacation. One location that comes to mind that offers a wide range of activities is Lake Tahoe. This area offers a number of different group and individual activities throughout the year; boating, mountain biking, shopping, golfing, luxury cuisine, spa treatments, gambling, camping, hiking, the list goes on and on. Finding a location with a wide range of events and things to do can be crucial to the level of enjoyment during the vacation experience. Another factor that might go hand in hand with your vacation enjoyment is your since of adventure. Some people like to visit new places, step outside the box, and experience all that one location has to offer while others might be just as happy to visit the same location every year and participate in the same activities. Some people have the mentality “if it’s not broke don’t fix it”, what I mean is some travelers feel if they find a good spot to vacation there is no need to visit other locations since a good time is almost guaranteed. Visiting the same location will also ensure that the traveler is able to fully experience all the location has to offer. On the other hand, people like myself, love to visit different locations and try to do as much as possible while in the area. I am not saying on style of travel is better than the other it just depends on the factors the individual traveler puts more weight on.

I would be interested to hear from readers about what factors they take into consideration while planning a vacation and any recent vacation experiences or suggestions would also be highly appreciated.
