Planning Your Summer 2011 Vacation

With warm weather right around the corner, it is time to start planning your summer vacation. Whether I am thinking about upcoming ski trips, family vacations or weekend getaways, right now is the perfect time to plan and budget for your vacations.

If you are searching for a romantic vacation, why not look into a trip to Italy? You could catch a flight to Rome, rent a car at the Fiumicino Airport and drive around the country. Along the way from one destination to the other, you can stop through small villages for shopping, sightseeing and unique dining adventures.

A great choice for a family vacation is London. Always pulsating with activity, it is easy to find something everyone will enjoy. From special events in Hyde Park to thrilling tours of the London Tower, a family vacation in London will be an unforgettable one. A great way to take in all the best sights that London has to offer is by purchasing a hop-on hop-off ticket. There are various routes available, and this way you can see the city at your leisure.

Believe it or not, if you are a lover of all things outdoors, a trip to France’s Provence region is perfect for those who embrace adventure. White water rafting or kayaking along the Gorges du Verdon (Verdon Gorge), hiking along the GR 51 and rock climbing at La Colmiane are just a few of the activities you can enjoy while here.

Also, keep in mind when looking for hotels that it is best to search all the areas of your destination city and find one closest to what you will be doing/seeing. It is highly recommended that you choose a property rated 3 stars or higher, as lower rated hotels might not have restrooms en suite or be of the best all around quality.
