Ideal Vacation vs Total Nightmare

Travel is a serious investment. The people who base their decisions on brochures pictures and feedback from a site of strangers have a 50/50 chance of getting what they think they will get. If the price is too good to be true or the room is too good to be true then, it likely is. What if you receive two or three vacation promotions that look and sound the same – how will you know which is the best deal? One could be the most awesome experience while the other your worse nightmare.

What you need to ask your self is “what is your expectation”.

Is it important to have:

• Let a professional manage it and save your time or you do all the research and maybe the information is good?
• Unobstructed ocean-view or some bush view – not even the garden?
• A peaceful retreat with a quiet night's rest or a resort or hotel undergoing a noisy renovation?
• Private car transfer or share van with 12 of your new closest foreign friends?
• An aisle seat toward the front with extra leg room or a seat in the middle at the back of the plane next to lavatory or a window?
• A private tour with a guide and no one else in the space or a mass group tour after standing in line for 2 hours?
• Name brand liquors or generic brand?
• All inclusive resort with quality dining choices included or buffet meal with limited choice at a set time with a limited menu?
• Someone to call when things go wrong or wing it your are on your own?
• Recommended stops from locals to give you that authentic experience or a guidebook and a massive crowds of people?
