How to Avoid the Pitfalls That Spoil Your Vacation

What?
Do you know what motivates you to pay out your hard-earned money, put up with the hassles of airport security and long flights, and suffer jet lag to venture outside your own country? Defining the reason(s) you travel is the beginning of finding you the perfect vacation.
What Are Some Reasons Why People Travel?
Here is a list of possible reasons why people travel. I've broken them down into three categories. Are any of these your reasons?
Business Related
* Conventions/conferences
* Business meetings
* Employment interviews
* Sales calls and meetings
* Executive retreats
* Management planning sessions
* Consultation with other professionals in your field
* To testify at a trial
* To study or write/paint/sculpt on location
* Continuing education credits
* Incentive rewards
I'm not going to spend any time on these because I'm focusing on finding you the best vacation. I just added these to the list because there are many road warriors out there who spend more time travelling than they do at home. I imagine many of them prefer to stay home for their vacation.
The next two categories deal with our reasons for taking a vacation away from home. Let's take a close look at them.
Purely Leisure
* Have rest and relaxation during scheduled vacation time from work
Many people go all out, giving 110 percent to their career. When holiday time comes along, they just want to kick back and relax on a beach or by a lake or in a tent in the woods.
* See exotic destinations
For some, this might be the Galápagos Islands, while for others, it's the Pyramids. It could be something as simple as the architecture on the streets of Amsterdam. What wonders of the world do you have on your list?
* Learn about other cultures
Nothing broadens the mind as well as travel. Do you have a hunger to know what it's like to live in China or Africa or Russia? Are there still other cultures on your bucket list that you want to understand?
* Retrace history
If you are a history buff, the world has a wealth of past civilizations and momentous events to keep you travelling until the day you die.
* Walk in the footsteps of the masters—music, art, literature, and religion
Is it your dream to trace the life of Mozart, Chopin, Rembrandt, Shakespeare, the apostle Paul, or Aristotle? That's only a small drop in a big, big pond. You could spend your whole lifetime delving into past lives.
* Attend major world events
Do you like to be on the scene and breathe in the excitement of the Olympics, World Cup Soccer, a NASCAR or Formula 1 race, a major film festival (like in Cannes), or even a space shuttle launch?
* Hike, bike, climb, raft, or zip all the natural wonders of the world
Adventure travel has no limits. I, personally, am not the outdoor type. Give me a soft bed and room service! But even I would like to zip-line and walk the treetops in the rain forest. I think all of us have at least one nature adventure on our list. Maybe yours is a safari in Africa.
* Have romance (weddings and honeymoons)—your own and others
Many people these days travel to be guests at a loved one's wedding. Young people today are planning their weddings in exotic environments or on cruise ships. Honeymoons are often that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel. Or maybe your relationship needs the shot of romance a second or third honeymoon gives.
* Explore your passion all over the world
Have you always wanted to attend a cooking school in Tuscany? If you're a gardener, maybe your dream is to attend the Chelsea Flower Show in London. Whatever your passion, I guarantee you will find more than one place in the world to explore it.
* Travel with others who share your passion
Maybe for you, the joy of doing something like cycling through Provence, France, is the camaraderie of sharing the moment with others who love it as much as you do. No matter what your interest, there are hoards of like-minded people to share it with.
* Visit family and friends
Today's world is quite small. You may live in North America, but you grew up in Europe or Asia or South Africa or Brazil. It's important to you to take time to go back and visit with the family you left behind.
* Explore your family history
Even if our families have lived here for many generations, unless you are Native American, your ancestors came from somewhere else. For many of us, getting in touch with our roots and walking where our ancestors walked are a huge attraction.
* Escape winter
Rain, sleet, snow, and hail may not stop our postal service, but it chases many of us away to warmer climes.
Other Reasons
* Have a multigenerational family vacation or family reunion
Our business lives today are so hectic that we often don't have the time to spend with family. Vacation is the perfect time for everyone to get away together to let the grandparents, siblings, and cousins all catch up with one another.
* Volunteer in a third world country
Most of us like to find ways we can give back to our communities. That desire has now spread into our travels. Many of the tour operators are providing opportunities to make a difference in the lives of the people who live and work in the countries we visit.
* Attend children's sporting events or recitals
If you have a gifted child, you may spend much of your time travelling to music recitals, gymnastics competitions, sports training camps, and much more all over the world.
* Have health, wellness, or spiritual retreats
You may be a leader in these fields travelling to discover other methods of treatment, or you might be a follower seeking more enlightenment.
* Have a girls'/guys' getaway
It is very common these days for wedding groups to hold their bachelor or bachelorette parties in a distant city. This also includes things like fishing trips or sporting events for the guys and spa or shopping weekends for a group of women friends.
* Visit a place you've read about or seen in a movie
Do you belong to a book club? Your reading group could take a trip together to explore the setting for a book you are reading. Eat, Pray, Love is the latest craze with people travelling to Italy, India, and Bali to follow in the steps of Elizabeth Gilbert.
* Consult a health-care specialist in another city
Medical tourism is growing by leaps and bounds these days. People travel to get medical treatments they can't get at home. They also travel for medical and dental procedures that are far cheaper in places like Thailand.
* Master a language
Learning French, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, or others? What better way to learn it quickly than to become immersed in the language?
There are as many varied reasons for travel as there are people to think them up. You may have reasons of your own that I didn't even think of. Or something in my list may have triggered a desire that has been sleeping just below the surface of your consciousness. We will come back to this list and any other idea you may have added to it. But first, let's look at this.
What Are Some Hobbies, Interests, or Passions People Pursue?

Informationen zum Widerrufsrecht
Gesetzliches Widerrufsrecht
Sie haben das Recht, den Vertrag innerhalb von 14 Tagen ohne Angabe von Gründen zu widerrufen.
Die Widerrufsfrist beträgt 14 Tage ab dem Tag, an dem Sie oder ein von Ihnen benannter Dritter, der nicht der Transporteur ist, die letzte Ware oder den letzten Posten oder das letzte Exemplar in Besitz genommen hat.
Um das Widerrufsrecht auszuüben, füllen Sie auf unserer Website unter „Meine Einkäufe" in „Mein Nutzerkonto" eine eindeutige Erklärung elektronisch aus und senden Sie sie ab. Wir werden Ihnen unverzüglich eine Bestätigung über den Eingang eines solchen Widerrufs auf einem dauerhaften Datenträger (z. B. per E-Mail) übermitteln.
Um die Widerrufsfrist einzuhalten, reicht es aus, dass Sie Ihre Mitteilung über die Ausübung des Widerrufsrechts vor Ablauf der Widerrufsfrist absenden.

Wir können einen Abzug von der Rückerstattung für den Wertverlust der gelieferten Waren vornehmen, wenn der Verlust auf eine unnötige Behandlung durch Sie zurückzuführen ist.
Wir werden die Rückerstattung unverzüglich und nicht später als 14 Tage nach dem Tag vornehmen, an dem wir über Ihre Entscheidung, diesen Vertrag zu widerrufen, informiert wurden.
Für die Rückerstattung verwenden wir dasselbe Zahlungsmittel, das Sie für die ursprüngliche Transaktion verwendet haben, es sei denn, Sie haben ausdrücklich etwas anderes vereinbart; in keinem Fall werden Ihnen aufgrund einer solchen Rückerstattung Gebühren berechnet.
