you really like to do. This will make your trip more meaningful.
Mostly, travelers go on a trip recommended by friends, but is

your trip and to do what your heart really desires. Hawaii Forum
Here are several questions to ask yourself before starting to
plan your vacation. Do I want to relax? Do I want adventure or a
learning experience? Do I want to get away from my job? Once you
know the answers to these questions, then you are ready to plan
your trip.
Vacations are needed for our emotional, physical and mental
balance. Vacations give a person a chance to relax, renew his
energy, and free him from his daily routine. Vacations can be
far away or close to home. Wherever the vacation may be, it does
the same thing. It provides satisfaction, which is far more
important than the destination itself.
Generally, there are some different types of travel according to
the activities involved. Here are some of them:
1. Responsible Travel. Traveling doesn't always have to be
self-serving. With responsible travel, one could have enjoyment
as much as respecting the local environment and the people.
2. Rediscovering nature. Rediscovering travel is all about
nature and everything in it. It revitalizes the soul while
experiencing everything there is to know about nature.
3. Tribal cultures. In today's world of high technology, it is
wise to experience the simpler life of the tribal people who
have lived close to nature in the same way for thousands of
years.
4. Responsible Diving. Diving not only lets travelers appreciate
what is in the sea but also helps make the traveler more aware
of efforts concerning conservation of our natural resources.
Plan your travel to a country that will leave a great mark in
your traveling diary. Here are some of the most popular
destinations today:
1. Thailand. Thailand is also known as Siam. It is an Asian
country bounded by Burma, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia. Behind
the back draft of Thailand's jungles of bamboo, rubber trees and
vines are the Five-star hotels of modern conveniences. In some
parts of the country, elephants are still being use to lift
timbers and buffalos are still being used in farming.
2. China. China is now the second largest country and fastest
growing economy in the world. Most parts of China are still
unexplored by tourists; however, the eastern portion is now
popular to western tourists. First class hotels now offer the
highest class of amenities and dozens more are still being built.
3. Italy. Italy is a boot-like shape country bounded by
Switzerland, Austria, France, and Slovenia. The main attraction
of Italy is St. Peter's Square where the Pope resides.
4. Caribbean. Caribbean is an archipelago of islands, 2000
square miles across. Most of the islands are plateaus and
eruptions of underlying mountain systems. It has nice beaches of
crushed coral and white or pink sand and the water at the shore
is a deep blue.
The success of any vacation will not depend on how much money
the traveler spent or the destination. The final outcome will
depend on the degree of enjoyment experienced by the traveler.
