Traveling on a ski vacation or a fishing trip is often difficult, especially with bulky and awkward equipment. Consider shipping the large bags and supplies ahead of time using a bus or a shipping service, then just flying or driving in to find you equipment already there.

If you are vacationing with kids be sure to plan activities that both kids and adults enjoy, or even a few days just for the kids. You may also want to double up with another family to ensure that the kids have someone to play with.

When planning a vacation take into consideration travel time and the most effective and efficient ways to get to and from the vacation resort. While flying may be more costly, it can also provide more time to actually enjoy at the location.
