Vacations
Enjoying life is important
Vacations, go on one you won't regret it
At least once a year, make an effort to leave your home and go on a vacation. Just the difference in perspective alone is worth the price, not to mention; the laughs, good times, different atmosphere, groovy people among the many other reasons you will find along the way.
Sure you can take a couple of weeks off from work and hang around the house, but it's not nearly the same. Even if you have a swimming pool or a hot tub, it's still your house, and that means you likely have work to do, such as; cut the lawn, maintain the garden, clean the garage, paint a room in the house, some kind of building project or something else that you need to do that's on your "to do" list.
Getting away from your home is priceless. The errands can wait for another day. This way you can properly unwind - with no household responsibilities - and enjoy yourself. That's what it's all about isn't it? And when you do get back home, the things you may have taken for granted, will become new again and be appreciated more.
I have been on a few vacations that have included; cottages on a lake, condos overlooking the ocean, all inclusive holidays on a tropical island and taking a hotel in the city. There are good things to say about each of them, but the condominium on the ocean is either at the top, or close to the top of the list.
Why you ask? Value is one reason.
A condo allows one to cook their own food because they come with a fully equipped kitchen. If you are health conscious, this is the best option. Every town or city has a grocery store, so it's not inconvenient. A good idea however is bringing some of the basics from home, because the prices are usually twenty to forty percent higher in tourist zones. Items to consider bringing; aluminum foil, saran wrap, condiments (the right size for the time to
be spent on vacation), olive oil, vegetable oil, sunscreen, first aid items, toothpaste, toilet paper among other non-perishable items that you often use. This will save you money, and you can buy the essentials required to feed you and your family once arriving.

A condo on the ocean means you can lounge around a beach, and if you have kids, there is nothing better. Along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, the waves can get so high, that surfers have fun navigating them. This means the family can get out into the ocean and get into the waves. Boogie boarding is so much fun it's really not just reserved for kids, as adults like it too. Catching a wave is exhilarating to say the least, watching the kids play in them will surely be a sleeping tonic like no other when nighttime hits.

Some beaches have lifeguards, but not all of them. If that is important to you, please do your research before going there. If the beach does have lifeguards there will be a certain time during the day (in tourist season) that they will be there; usually between the hours of ten in the morning and five in the afternoon. If having a lifeguard present is important, then plan your day around their schedule.
Keep in mind that the ocean has strong currents. All beaches will have warnings to beware of riptides. Each lifeguard will be happy to explain them to you should you have concerns, but that is what they are there for. To ensure your safety and watch for conditions that causes riptides. Just use common sense when swimming in the ocean, and everything should be fine.
Finally, when you do go an ocean condominium, it's just wonderful when you get there. Each town or city by the ocean has their own ambience, but they all have the unmistakable smell of salt water in the air, and that undoubtedly means vacation time!
Make the time to get to a condominium by the ocean; it's both affordable and fun.
