If you are one of those people that does all that they can for their family, searching out an ideal and unusual vacation could fit the bill. The type of trip will obviously depend on what your family is accustomed to and what they like. Roughing it in the Australian outback might not fit the bill for those that are fans of room service and who prefer a pre-arranged black car limo to hailing a yellow taxi on the street.
Some interesting vacation choices:
A visit to Cardiff (for Doctor Who fans):
If the name:”Doctor Who” simply makes you wonder “who?” then this is not your ideal choice.
But, if you have family members that think bow ties are the height of fashion and love the British and incredibly long-running show, Doctor Who, Cardiff could be a sweet choice. Doctor Who fans come in all ages and having a chance to wander through places where memorable scenes and episodes were filmed can be great fun. Seeing the gardens, churches, and other pretty spots you would not otherwise have discovered is a nice extra.
Extreme vacations:
Fighting mutants in Chernobyl sound like fun? Ok, that is a move, but there are other extreme and interesting choices.
If you are going to be in the vicinity of Moscow then flying a Mig-29 is actually a possibility. A company based in the US, Incredible Adventures, will set your Moscow trip up just right. When you do eventually get to the plane ride part of the trip, you will get the choice between flying out 70,000 feet to the edge of space or enjoying 45 minutes of Mig-29 air aerobics.
Going to Vegas?:
Instead of hitting the tables, join up with actual stunt-men with Thrillseekers Unlimited.
There is a variety of falling, fighting, and becoming inflamed (that would be actually on-fire) to choose from.
For those that wish to learn:
Road Scholar has been around for well over 30 years and has an endless list of educational vacations.
From an easygoing study cruise to cultural tours that include walking or biking, they have many interesting destinations and venues to choose from. The lovely “Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” comes to mind. Although they did not go to India on a learning vacation, they did get quite an education.
