No matter Where You Travel In America, You Will Find An Excellent Vacation Destination

By Connor Sullivan

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 becomes your home away from home. The family becomes familiar with it and you learn many of the fun places to see. But maybe you want more adventure. Maybe 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 so that you can visit a new location every year. People who own a timeshare may sometimes not want to use their allotted time and may prefer to rent it out to a responsible, courteous family.

So, where do you want to go? 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 defined by 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 visit to the prairie, somewhere in the middle of the United States. An Air vacation is a mountain vacation. The best mountains in the United States are found in the East (the Appalachians) and in the West (the Rockies). A Fire vacation is a desert stay in our southwestern part of the country. Finally, a Water vacation, of course, takes place on a lake or the ocean. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota has the best lakes. These three States are dotted with 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.

In my opinion, 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 should we count it as an Earth vacation or as an Air vacation? You decide.

A Fire vacation can take a family to an area that is a total change 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, to me, the best vacation is a Water vacation. There's something about relaxing 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 a blow-up swim ring, a sunny, hot day, and a gentle breeze, and I will be happy for most of the day. Of course, a liberal amount of sunblock is necessary. - 29958
