Picking a Vacation Spot: Things to Think About

What should you think about when trying to decide where to go on vacation? It's not just throwing darts at a map - you'll need to consider a lot of factors before going ahead and making your decision. A place may sound nice or romantic, but if you don't think about the practical side of things, you may still end up with a bad vacation. First, think about who is going. If it's more than one person, which it probably will be, you need to make sure that you'll be going to areas where everyone can have a good time. Some people just may not be as interested in certain things - it's often better to go with a larger group, so that you can break off. The people who want to go see museums or monuments can go there in smaller groups - people who have other interests can break off and do their own thing, and the group can get back together in the evening. Second, think about the costs. Is this vacation really in your price range? It's often better to go to a cheaper, second-choice spot rather than going to a more expensive location. A trip to Thailand or India or a country where things are less expensive might end up being more fun than your first choice of France or Germany - you'll have the money to do a lot of things you probably couldn't in Europe or places where the cost of things is much higher.
