One of the toughest things to do, it seems, whether it be a holiday at home, or a trip, is to stay regimented with diet and exercise. In my opinion there is no doubt that the trip away from home is just awful when it comes to staying fit.

Why is this? Well if you’re in a hotel you have that damn candy and soda machine right down the hall from your room. Oh, yeah, don’t get me started with going on a cruise because the word buffet is synonymous with cruises. 

Ok, so what do we do when we go on vacation to keep fit and on the right track. Well let’s stick to doing it with the hotel travel.

1. Pack the running shoes and the work out clothes. This makes the ability to get to the gym much easier.

2. Try and find hotels that offer fitness centers. Also, make sure that the fitness centers are what you need. Not a medicine ball and a thing to stand on that vibrates a belt. 

3. Refuse to get the key to mini bar in the room. Lot’s of empty calories my friends. 

4. Pack some healthy snacks that won’t go bad. Protein Bars, a bag of almonds, you know what’s right. Fruit may be an issue.

As you see going away does not have to throw you off from being healthy. You just have to plan to beat the vacation bug of being bad.

For many college students the beginning of their spring semesters has just begun, but I’m sure for many the thoughts of spring break dance in their heads. There are several packages that Reserve Vacations offers to warm weather spots that might be of interest. The only thing is the packages offered aren’t for the students, these are for the unsung heros of college campuses being the staff and faculty. The reason being is that many of the packages and the properties participating by offering inventory for these unique vacation packages have age and income requirements. Wouldn’t a great discount to place far away from the classrooms of students and beauracracy be wonderful? Let us begin. 

Our first set of packages find us in Cancun Mexico. To many a spring breaker Cancun is the mecca of such a trip and we offer a few great Cancun Mexico Vacation Deals.  The Cancun Sweet Suite Vacation Package is a home run. For $299 you’ll get full accommodations at the Laguna Suites Golf and Spa Resort for 5 Days and 4 Nights. You also get two $30 gift certificates to the on property spa and free transportation to and from the airport. Another package being offered by the same property, the Laguna Suites Golf and Spa Resort, is called the Cancun Extended Stay Vacation. For $429 you’ll get 6 Days and 5 Nights at this fabulous property that includes the same add ons as the Cancun Sweet Suite Vacation Package detailed above. 

Another great destination that may not even be on your radar is Myrtle Beach South Carolina. If you’re an avid golfer the packages we offer here may be just the ticket. So let’s start with one of the best deals we have, starting at $199 for accommodations plus 2 free rounds of golf at the Wild Wing Resort, gets you a vacation  where your stay will be for 4 days and 3 nights. If by chance you’re not a big golfer, the Myrtle Beach Alabama Theater Package will be right up your alley.  For $179 you’ll get accommodations at the Springmaid Beach Resort located at 3200 Ocean Boulevard, which also includes 2 tickets to the Alabama Theater. To entice you a little more check out the shows scheduled for the Alabama Theater for the dates of interest. 

Regardless spring break may be here sooner than you think. Why not plan for a great trip that won’t break the bank.

As we stated a few posts ago, the continuing decline in the economy has many businesses running for cover. The smart ones, however, are finding ways to survive and thrive. The online travel business is a beacon to this darkness that has befallen the economy as of late. 

The first in line of the “big boys” showing great discount vacations is Travelocity. There set of deals actually came to my attention during a television commercial. As they are known, the Gnome that has become their corporate mascot was put in a commercial where the premise was that times are tough and cost cutting is essential. Pictures of destinations were torn from a brick wall as opposed to live video showing the scale back that Travelocity was taking. The important thing from the commercial was their innovative 50% off vacation program. Certain restrictions apply but look at their deals they are pretty enticing. Just refer to the silver lining sale. 

Second, are the continuing hot deals coming from Reserve Vacations. Some of the newest vacation packages that have appeared on the site are a Myrtle Beach Golfer’s Dream Package for $199, the Orlando Unreal Deal Vacation Package which is 3 Days and 2 Nights for $239 and a Cancun Vacation Package which is called the Cancun Fun in the Sun Package which offers four distinctive vacation packages where accommodations at the Laguna Suites and Golf Resort Cancun are provided.

Reserve Vacations LLC is quickly becoming one of the new gems of the online travel market. Serendipity probably had a greater hand in the success the web site ReserveVacations.com has had, due to the fact that the vacation packages offered are tremendously discounted and the economy turned bad at the time of launch. So be it. Regardless of pricing, Reserve Vacations web also operates under a strict professional style. This can be found in the sites’ Vacation Package Price Guarantee.

If you visit the page the policy is very straightforward. The long and short is if you can find a better deal that exactly offers what is being offered in any one of the web sites vacation packages, Reserve Vacations will refund 110% of the difference. It’s that simple. If you find a vacation package on another site and email Reserve Vacations, within 48 hours of booking you will receive that refund. 

Taking an adventure vacation may not be something for everyone but for those of you that like the thrills we have some great choices. 

If you want to go scuba diving, swimming or anything in between that can be found in the ocean a Cancun Vacation is a perfect choice. With 6 Days and 5 Nights you’ll get just that at the Laguna Suites Golf and Spa in Cancun all for $399.  Get complete use of all the facilities and be within walking distance to any number of activities like scuba diving classes or fishing expeditions. In case you’re not interested in all the activity the package comes with 2 passes to the spa. 

Head to the mountains with great Pigeon Forge Vacations for $289. This Pigeon Forge Vacation Package offers 4 Days and 3 Nights at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Pigeon Forge located at 1650 Parkway in the city of Sevierville Tennessee which is right next to Pigeon Forge. Staying here gives you a chance to do some great hiking in the famed Smoky Mountains. 

Either way you get a chance to visit some great country that offers only what nature can offer, adventure.

This may be a silly discussion, but we have received many emails from users looking for tips on which beaches are the best to visit while traveling to Cancun. I know, I know it’s probably impossible to even think that there could be such as thing as a bad beach in Cancun, but some of the questions have merit. Such questions include what beaches are family friendly, have the most activities, are the most exclusive, so on and so forth.

Well we’ve come up with three beaches that fit the bill and diversity of these questions.

Top Cancun Family Beach - Through our research the Playa Caracol is overwhelmingly considered to be the best fit for the family. For a glimpse of this extraordinary beach check out the online map. Here’s the skinny on why this is such a perfect place to bring the family. First and foremost Playa Caracol is loaded with activities. Within a stones throw impromtu games and even boating charters are available. Second, Playa Caracol is known for its calm waters and “comfortable” warm sand. So if you have a baby, and it should be stressed that keeping a baby in the hot sun for too long isn’t good, but if you do in fact have a baby, this beach is perfect. This also goes for the toddlers and young kids. The threat of raging surf or crazy party atmosphere is not around Playa Caracol.

Top Cancun Activity Beach - The Playa Langosta is really where a lot of the fun in Cancun happens. A traveler to Cancun will find everything from hip restaurants and on beach bars to snorkeling and diving tours. Again, as it appears to be with most beaches of Cancun the waters are very calm so swimming is awesome. To take a look at the location of Playa Langosta check out the online map.

Top Quiet Beach in Canun - The party scene in Cancun is well known around the world. For those students out there that are lucky enough to have the funds to visit Cancun, an annual right of passage in Spring Break is their reward. Now the following beach probably shouldn’t even be suggested unless of course you have reservations at one of the exclusive properties that line the beach of Punta Nizuc. This is where you can get miles of coastline just to yourself and hear the wonderful and gentle sounds of the surf coming up to the shoreline. This area of Cancun beaches is found near the southern tip of the area. The tip is if you want to try and get to this area of beaches known as Punta Nizuc is to try and go through the Camino Real Hotel. Trust me this area is serenity at its best. No bars, no restaurants, no loud party music. Just white golden sand and quiet calm surf.

There are many more areas of Cancun Mexico that can fit the bill or interest of most any traveler. Cancun’s Beaches are world reknowned and offer paradise like you have never seen before.
