If you have were you happy that you did it that way or would you have preferred to plan everything on your own? I think it would be nice to go on an all inclusive vacation. It seems that it would be easier to do it that way but then I think it would be more expensive.

I have been to inclusive vacations together with my family. I guess I could say its inclusive since it was not a group booking. But in all of these trips, I bought the ticket and planned the destination as well as the sites to tour. There was no travel agency involve. I find it more practical rather than going to a travel agency where there is usually an additional rate.

I'm glad that you and your family were able to have a vacation that you enjoyed. It is a good thing to be able to plan all of the activities that you would like to do. I'm sure that the vacations go so much better when we the things we would like to accomplish in mind.

Like what you say, to go alone with his own thoughts were very expensive, therefore I would rather go somewhere with my friends because in addition will lead to an unforgettable moment it can also be more cost economize. And then going on palning how much it cost.

Yeah going on a trip with friends would be nice. I hope that we will be able to save to take a big trip in a few years. If I work on saving better it might be possible. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I would never go on an all inclusive vacation. I like to stay in locally owned accommodation, spend money in local shops and spend money in local handy markets. I hope that spending money in the destination goes to the local people not an international company. Many all inclusive hotels are owned my rich people overseas.
I prefer to buy my flight and my accommodation is usually at around five different places so I can see an area or a few different countries. A long haul flight is pricey so I like to see many different sights. I went to a beach hotel in Kenya and they didn't like the tourists to leave the hotel. No thanks I thought. I went off to Nairobi and went on a lovely safari.

I have been on an all inclusive vacation in the past, and I have to say that they are my favourite type. Although they can be more expensive, you at least know that you're not going to be spending any more money while you're there, so you know right from when you set off from home how much it is all going to cost. I think it's good, but you have to make sure that the place you're allowed to eat and drink is nice, as there isn't all that much point in paying to eat somewhere every night if you're then going to want to go out and try other places because you don't like the place that you've already paid for.

I have been on an all inclusive vacation in the past, but I prefer to plan my own vacation. I like the freedom that I have when I plan my own vacation. I choose my own hotels, I choose how long I want to stay at each place, choose the places where I want to eat, and I choose the activities that I am interested in. When I went on the all inclusive vacation I wasn't able to choose my accomodation and I wasn't able to choose the restaurants. The meals were included and I had already paid for them, so I didn't have the chance to visit other restaurants. The sightseeing tours were also included, but I prefer to a read a guidebook and pick the places that I want to visit. That gives me the chance to visit exactly the places that I want.

Yeah I understand what you mean. It would be a lot better to be able to choose the things that you would like to. After all it is a vacation and we want to enjoy it doing the things that we like.I'm sure that in the future we will more than likely choose where we want to go,stay,and eat. It does make it more special that way.

No, I haven't. I hope I'll have one someday. I'd love to go to the other countries seeing some beautiful tourist spots but I guess I need to save a lot of money in doing so. I guess for now I'll just enjoy going to nearby places for my vacation.
