Don’t go on Vacation! The best Vacation I ever had was when I didn’t do anything! lol

PLANING EVERYTHING FROM A TO Z .

Leave their cell phones and laptop computers at home!

Not be stupid or drive and not fly!!

Go alone.Bringing people along is what people actually get stress about knowingly or unknowingly.

We travel alot, and I find it very useful to write lists of what to take/do and start doing the what has to be done before the trip and packing about a week ahead. I also gather information about what there is to do when we get where we’re going. We also talk about and decide what we’d like to do most. We have learned that the one thing that stresses out a vacation fast is when you set unrealistic expectations. You must remain flexible and have a sense of humor! We still usually pack more than we use, but we’re being flexible while just relaxing and having fun. Also don’t work on vacation! Let it go long enough to just BE! =)

With “most” vacations planning is the key…I find the less stressful vacations are when you pack the car and go on a road trip, on an adventure…There isn’t the stress of having to be some where at a certain time, you can do as you please, you find a nice place you can stay there for how ever long you want…equaling no stress.
I think a lot of people over think their vacations, what and when things have to be done, its to overwhelming…If you took a little time to stop over planning and enjoying whats out there you have a better time and you dont come home more tired then when you left.
I cant understand why you would state that people would be embarrassed for not knowing the language of another country…If you thought ahead of time people would figure that part out, why it would be embarrassing i cant figure out…I have been to many counties and there are always people native to the place who do speak English and that’s even my second language.
Everyone just needs to take a chill pill and relax, or that vacation would have been better off you in a tent in your own backyard if you want to play it safe.
One suggestion though…When planning your vacation…Make sure what you want to do is there so your not disappointed. I longed to ride horseback on the beach, went to Oahu Hawaii…Guess what…they dont have that there…So make sure what you want is there first.

By not going on LAX

my opinion plan ahead in plenty of time,have at least one or maybe even two back up plans and then on the hand sometimes its more adventurous to have no plan at all,but plenty of money in that case is a must

I buy books and do on-line research to find out as much as possible about the destination. I don’t care for surprises when I am on vacation. I study my maps to be sure of the routes that I will be driving. And I keep things as simple as I can, trying not to overdo on any thing, picking only one or two things to do each day. And lastly I try to be realistic about distance I plan to travel each day. If you are tired you can’t enjoy the experience as much. These are just a few of the ways that I try to keep stress to a minimum.
