Country Vacations & Resorts
A lot depends on your definition of "country". You could mean country-western, or country-ecotourism, or country-fishing or hunting lodges.
Any of the links above will take you to a very informative site called Resorts and Lodges Travel. The site will give you access to information and search capabilities for vacation resorts and lodges around the world.
You might want to also have a look at JourneyPass, a membership travel club where you can travel like a VIP while getting huge savings on vacation travel.
The page you are so kindly visiting at the moment is really not about selecting the exact location of your country vacation or the resort you end up choosing. It is more about using the Internet to do your research to organize the entire stay, transportation, all activities, and the meals and extras you'll need while on travel.
The linked listings above give you some clue as to the enormity of info on the internet. Even if you thought you knew what you wanted to do (or not do), during your vacation...it is easy to become distracted by the sheer number of choices and the marketing glitz and glitter. Best as usual to be prepared and make sure you end up making the best decision about your travel, holiday and vacation plans. Kids? Pets? Adults only? Seniors? Each of these groups have different needs - and advantages and disadvantages to consider when organizing your country vacation.
Are you in "activity" mode or looking for solitude? I can't imagine anything worse than being a single adult who somehow gets booked on some sort of kids/families adventure vacation cruise. Or a kid who gets accidently booked at a predominantly golfing lodge - can you imagine? Everyone will seem to be 100 years old and wearing some very strange clothing!
Third, where are you going? Not just your proposed end destination, but all the transportation planning required for driving versus flying, nearby versus far, and national versus international travel.
Fourth, when are you planning to go? Seasonal considerations should be a given when making any travel plans - particularly if you are planning holiday travel. Long lines, overbooked flights, and your number one preferred resort booked solid are the rules not the exceptions. While these are known issues, don't forget about the weather in general - and in specific - the weather where you are headed. Caribbean cruises can be less expensive in early December than in other times of the year, but the seas still know it is December and they can be a lot more choppy than in October.
It sounds like a stupid comment but if there is more than one person making this decision it is almost a guarantee there are conflicting expectations.
Even a quick perusal at all the resort options and vacation "purposes" at the top of this page shows you how easy it could be to make a less than optimal choice.
Do you see this gorgeous bed and breakfast in Williamsburg as a quiet place to relax and reflect and from which to quietly meander the historic area? Or do you see it as a good place to stop and check your map before you head out for the next 27 activities and sites visits you have planned for tomorrow?
