So you have vacation time, have some money set aside for a vacation but don’t have really good, solid vacation ideas?

I have heard people discuss this and heard this question (or forms of it) from various people. There are so many options that sometimes I feel like people don’t know where to start. Let me draw from my travel experience and suggest the following itinerary to help you with: -your vacation budget and -to give you some basic common sense ideas and suggestions to move on.

First, vacation planning. The cost of your vacation can vary widely based on flights, hotels, driving, attractions you visit, etc. The time invested in this phase of the process is well worth it because sometimes that extra click of the mouse looking for that last minute special can really put money back in your pocket. Then once I have a desired itinerary, I usually write down what I know. Usually this comes up in some way that I write the details of “this flight plus this hotel, this rental car, plus this amount of gas equals X amount.” Then because of all the little things that will show up (movie, last minute stuff, etc), I usually add an additional minimum of ten percent to the total I have so far and voila, the dollar budget for it has been created. trip. . It’s during this part of the process that you simply have to buckle up and do your homework before the holidays, to find those specials, get a hybrid car rental, or the full package for the place you’re going (the first website that appears at the end of this article can be of great help with this part of the process). I once heard someone say, “A budget is not a constraint that takes all the fun out of you. However, what is a budget is simply a written plan for success.” I like that quote. It stuck with me and, of course, it’s true. The plan to succeed. You want to have a good and memorable vacation, right?

OK Now let’s get to the fun stuff. My suggested itinerary for you. First of all, what do you mean by being an American and have not yet visited New York, the Statue of Liberty, or the Empire State Building? Yes, this will be the first stop on your vacation. Visit a day or two in New York City proper. Be sure to eat at any of the many small private restaurants tucked away in various locations throughout the city. While in New York, be sure to visit the Empire State Building. Take a camera. If you are not a city dweller yet, visiting the top of the Empire State Building with a camera will definitely give you the ratings to tell about city life when you return home. Next, go visit Mrs. Liberty, the Statue of Liberty that is. Climb as high as you can on the tour. Take pictures, of course, and be sure to tell the kids what you know about the price that was paid so Miss Liberty can be where she is.

Next, in New York, try a show on Broadway. Which show? Find out what programs are available and choose the one that suits your preferences (remember the ‘planning’ phase of the vacation …?). Any Broadway show that suits your preferences will do the trick for this part of your journey because, when all is said and done, it is and was a ‘Broadway show’ that you attended!

There, you are done with New York City. Now is the time to catch that plane from New York that you planned and fly to Las Vegas. Whether you’re the type to enjoy all the glitz and glamor that Las Vegas has to offer or not, Las Vegas is just one of those places that has sights, sounds, and experiences that make it one of those “one-of-a-kind” experiences. life”. . You are now in Vegas. When it comes to hotels, hotels in Las Vegas offer so many specials to get you to their city that this part of your planning shouldn’t have been difficult. On this note, while searching for a Las Vegas hotel, simply choose the Las Vegas hotel that you like, that has a good special offer available, and stays within your budget. A specific hotel that I would recommend could be the New York New York hotel. This hotel alone has a bit of everything most Las Vegas travelers look for, all within its own walls (if you end up staying at this hotel, you can compare its model of a New York City street to the real streets of New York City you just came!). While in Las Vegas, another hotel I would suggest would be the Luxor Hotel. The only way I know of to describe the Luxor hotel, in a word, is simply “over the top”. The Caesars Palace hotel makes its guests truly feel like they are in Rome, while guests at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas can truly be overwhelmed by the sheer size of almost everything in and around this hotel. Choosing a hotel in Las Vegas? Remember preference, specials and budget. As for activities to do while in Las Vegas, go ahead and walk the Las Vegas strip (the sidewalk). Enjoy the sidewalk show at the Pirates of the Caribbean hotel. Amusement parks now inside hotels are really very good now too, if that appeals to you. Also, the Circus Circus hotel has many very good free shows inside their hotel. Be sure to take pictures of the ridiculously large lion heads in front of the MGM Grand hotel. Make sure you are standing in front of the Lion when your photo is taken! Lastly, for Las Vegas, be sure to definitely try at least one of the most popular buffets while in Las Vegas. You will be overwhelmed.

Are you tired of your vacations? You can not be! You still have to make it to Southern California for the last part of your vacation! Now, California just has a lot to do with it. So this is where your proper planning should come in. California has a little bit of everything, for everyone. If you are the complete family tourist type, then Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott’s Berry Farm, Sea World, or Legoland (all in Southern California) are all possibilities to sign up. Or are you the most laid back and possibly laid back type of vacation person? If so, Catalina Island, Yosemite Park, the Lake Tahoe area, or the Golden Gate Bridge would be places you’d want to check in. Finally, if adventure is what you want to end your vacation, then a tour of Alcatraz Prison or California State Park called Joshua Trees (mountains, hiking, wildlife, and very rugged) may be the ticket for you.

There! Your vacation can now really end. If you can, try to schedule your departure flight (the one that will take you back home) from the California San Diego airport. Many flights take off over the ocean and the view can be spectacular. Which is a very good way to end your vacation. Did you bring enough film?
