We love the hot weather and want it to be a vacation for the whole family not just the kids. Need some R&R with my husband too, which is why we love cruises, but can’t a find a new place to cruise. Need to watch for weather/rainy seasons etc…

If you’re American and used to holidaying in the Caribbean then perhaps a Mediterranean Cruise (http://www.medcruise.com/page.asp?p=1516&l=1) is the answer to give you a change. The cruise ship will have a variety of activities for the family, the weather will be scorching in August and you’ll visit countries you might not have seen before.

I NEED a vacation for me and my girl , we havent gone anywhere all this year primarily because of cashflow, i want to be somewhere warm and preferably where there is a beach. Should i hop in the car( im in mid georgia) and head to florida? try and find a good cheap resort( rare) or a cruise? I cant help it i think the pics of the ships interior look like a 1970’s disco joint all of them , any experience?what should i do?

try myrtle beach, south carolina the beaches are beautiful the hotels are about as reasonable as you can get on a beach and the weather should be beautiful this time of year

I would like some suggestions from people regarding their favorite travel destinations. We can fly pretty much anywhere, but looking for ideas, prices, places, good memories as well as negative ones if you have them. We are not stuck on a tropical vacation either… Have considered Europe as a possibility.
We have traveled to Cancun, Mexico before as well as St. Croix, Virgin Islands and all over Florida. We preferred Cancun simply because there was more to do and go see AND the fact there were many family oriented ALL INCLUSIVE resorts to choose from.

Any ideas, suggestions and tips would be appreciated.
Dpower81… Great idea! I hadn’t thought of Cape Cod, but would be an incredible vacation I think.
Thanks!
Nate… The Beaches Resorts seem really nice. I have considered them. Just wondering if there were good personal reviews. Thanks!

Gossip.. Yellowstone was another destination that I didn’t consider, but would love to see! Thanks!

For the last four years, I have been taking my family to a unique family resort in Vermont on Lake Champlain for our big summer vacation — it is a converted family farm that offers a really amazing vacation where everyone (mom and dad too) get a REAL vacation. We love and the kids love — obviously because we keep coming back — Check out www.tylerplace.com

It is so cool — the kids have group (all segmented by age) in the mornings so the adults can play (everything from kayaking and mtn bikes to pottery or yoga.) Then we do family activities in the afternoon, then back to group for the kids and we get a grown-up meal at the inn. There is so much to do — an incredible place. Everyone who goes keeps coming back the same week so you make awesome friends and so do the kids. Stay at the Inn or in cottages around the lake — all meals provided, awesome water sports and activities — anything you can imagine.

Maybe a cruise??
I’m traveling from New Jersey if it helps…

I like to go to a site like expedia or travelocity and get a general feel for the prices. Then I will go to the hotel or airline and book myself.

Another good site to visit is travelzoo.com They have some really good deals. They are not a travel agency, they are a site that finds the best deals — there are some good ones out there.

We have planned to visit florida around the new yr time.
1.What are the beaches where we can find adventure sports para-sailing,jet skiing etc.?
2.What are the best beaches to be on the 31st night? ( happening one’s)
3.Any other beach which shouldn’t be missed ?

Well the best beaches for my money is the Emerald Coast Beaches from Panama City Beach to Fort Walton Beach.But the water may be a little cool for the water activities.
So for "parties" and water activities head down to South Beach to Fort Lauderdale.
