Vacations allow a family to escape from their everyday life and refresh the whole group. It’s fun to have a favorite vacation spot that you return to year after year. The family becomes familiar with it and you learn many of the fun places to see. But maybe you are more adventurous. Perhaps you like to see different places every year and have new experiences. An easy way to find new vacation areas to stay is to find timeshare rentals. Timeshares are located all over the country allowing you to visit a new location every year. People who own a timeshare may sometimes not want to use their assigned week and may prefer to rent it out to a responsible, courteous family.

So, what part of the country do you want to see? That is what everyone wants to know. It has been said that there are four types of outdoor vacation. These four types correspond to the four original elements known to the Greeks back in their ancient days. These four elements, if you remember, are earth, air, fire, and water. The application of the four elements to four types of vacation may have you scratching your head. An Earth vacation is a vacation on the prairie, somewhere in the middle of the United States. An Air vacation takes place in the mountains. The best mountains in America are found in the East (the Appalachians) and in the West (the Rockies). A Fire vacation is a desert vacation in our southwestern part of the country. Finally, a Water vacation, of course, takes place on a lake or the ocean. Lake vacations are best in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. These three States have a large number of small natural lakes and, of course, the Great Lakes. Ocean vacations are a fun choice whether you choose the East Coast or the West Coast, the farther south, the better.

My feeling is that a Prairie vacation is the least attractive, but that’s probably because I am ignorant of the attraction of these places. There are nice cities in the prairie that will give you a good time. In St. Louis, there is an arch which is a famous landmark. Mt. Rushmore is in that area, but does it count as an Earth vacation or as an Air vacation? I’m not sure.

A Fire vacation can take a family to an area that is totally different from home (unless you happen to live in the Southwest). No place in America has a stark, beautiful landscape as is found in the desert. The Southwest has many attractions, such as the Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, the Painted Desert, and the Petrified Forest.

But, in my opinion, the best vacation is a Water vacation. There’s something about sitting on the sand watching the water and also splashing around in the water that is most relaxing and refreshing of all vacations. Just give me an inflatable swim ring, a sunny, hot day, and a gentle breeze, and I will be happy for most of the day. Of course, a liberal quantity of sunblock is required.
