2nd posting-Background

Everybody has a different idea when it comes to paradise.  For some, paradise would be climbing in a remote mountain range and sleeping in a tent that hangs cliff-side. For others, paradise would be bone fishing in the Exumas, or sailing for six months from South Africa to Australia to Antarctica. Conversely, others consider their home to be their paradise. For me, the epitome of luxury would be a place with clear, blue ocean water and white sandy beaches.

Paradise is defined as a place, situation, or condition in which somebody finds perfect happiness, or where there is everything that a particular person needs for his or her interest. Taking a vacation is also a nebulous concept that may mean different things to different people. Some people think it is an excuse to get time off work, or spend more time with their family. In any case, it is a good way to escape reality and have a break from a stressful life. “There are various natural vacation sites that are located in different parts of the world like spectacular beaches and lakes and eye-catching waterfalls. Today, almost every one prefers to enjoy their holidays in the lapse of nature so that they can easily spend some grand time of their life with their family members and relatives (Travlang.com)”.

When it is time to seek out your perfect vacation, the methodical approach will help you achieve “perfect happiness”. Deciding where you want to travel is the first step in planning an exotic getaway.  You want to think about details like how much time you have and what things you want to do. Also, explore different pricings and packages to help you decide your budget for the trip. No need to go overspending money that you do not have.

A lot of resorts and hotels provide you with luxuries you have never dreamed of. In some locations, the hotel room has a glass wall with an ocean view -- literally under the water. Other getaways cater to the people desiring privacy  -- private beaches and even your own island. One of the realities of exotic vacationing is that the changes in modes of travel have made some areas less and less of a getaway. Exotic resort areas around the world are becoming more exploited by world travelers. The current economic state in the United States has made it cheaper to get a penthouse in Las Vegas. This being a fact, some destinations are flooded with visitors and “paradise” may not be the ideal that people want. But, in other countries there are private beaches, resorts and even islands that can be all for you and your family. This, of course would be much more expensive than going to Las Vegas. Exotic vacationing is all about your definition of getaway and paradise.

If your perfect place includes understanding others cultures and lives, this might not be as luxurious as going to a beach and having servants at your hand and foot. But that might be what suits you. I personally think it would be interesting to experience how other cultures live and have a break from computers and cell phones. If you took a vacation to Egypt you would experience the way they live, and see their lives from your perspective. This can help you understand how other cultures live.

This blog will be exploring many different types of vacations and paradises. I hope you all enjoy what I research.
