Packing for a vacation can be exciting, but for some of us, packing for vacation is the worst part about a vacation. Whether you tend to bring too much, not enough or the wrong things, packing can be a serious headache. One of the most difficult things to pack is shoes because they're bulky and heavy and you never know which ones you'll need, or how many pairs to pack. With these tips, you can pack shoes more effectively and spend more time enjoying the anticipation of your upcoming vacation.
Plan a Vacation by Train
All aboard! A train vacation is a unique and exciting way to see the country. You can enjoy pre-planned tours including National Parks in the Northwest or historic towns in New England. Vacations can also be tailored just for you. Plan a budget-conscious trip or go all out with a luxury excursion.
Use Health Gyms While on Vacation
All vacationers look forward to the pleasure of time dedicated to rest and relaxation; essentially, it's the key ingredient to a great vacation. Not every vacationer, however, wants a break from their workout routine. Finding a way to enjoy your vacation and visit local health gyms will make all the difference in how much energy you will have and how good you will feel while traveling.
Create a Company Vacation Calendar
You want your employees to take advantage of vacation time at their discretion, but it's your job to make sure that you have employees in all departments throughout the year so normal business can continue. The only way to coordinate employee vacations is to create a company vacation calendar. You can use software that's part of the Microsoft Office suite to compare schedules and properly manage employee vacation time.
Generate a Family Vacation
Time spent together as a family on vacation is often what adults remember most about their childhoods. Unfortunately, the family vacation is disappearing as the work week expands.
Families are stressed. Parents are exhausted. The 40-hour work week has ballooned into 50 or more hours. Kids are worn out too. School activities and homework piled on to an already hectic school day means there's little if any free time left over to play together as a family. Families need vacations to hang out, play together and bond. Sadly, family vacations are slipping away. According to a Harris Poll, only 14 percent of Americans will get a vacation of two weeks or longer. One quarter of Americans receive no paid vacation at all--and that means that many American families never have time off together.
A family vacation is a way to pull everyone closer by spending relaxing time together. Here are ways to reclaim and generate the family vacation.
