Destinations for your Next Family Vacation Getaway

When planning a family vacation getaway, the choices can be overwhelming. What should you do? Where should you go? To make life easier, these questions should be answered before you start planning. Let’s take a few minutes and help you answer these questions before you get started with the planning.

What Should You Do?

How does skiing fresh powder of Vail’s Blue Sky Basin, or relaxing in the white sand of Hawaii’s beaches and hitting a hole in one at one of Myrtle Beach’s many golf courses sound to you? Ski, beach and golf vacations are great choices for families.

Skiing Vacations

Many resorts offer a plethora of activities for you and your family. While you are skiing fresh powder, your children can be supervised by a certified ski instructor while enrolled in ski school. After that lesson, you can meet up with them and they will be happy to show you what they learned. When the day ends, be sure to explore the town. Ski towns are notorious for some of the best shopping and fine dining. If you want to take a day off from skiing to catch your breath, try ice skating, toboggan runs or just sit by a fire with a good book. When it comes time to plan a ski vacation, try to plan at least 5 to 6 months ahead of time. This is when you can find the best deals and you shouldn’t have to worry about the hotel you want to stay in, completely booked. I have found that a little research goes a long way. After you choose your hotel, see if they have any packages or specials available. Most of the time hotels and resorts will offer a bit of a discount on lift tickets and other activities. If a special or package is not available, make sure to buy your lift tickets in bulk to save some money. Try to buy a 3 or 4 day pass versus buying individual tickets each day. Often times, these lift tickets will be good for more than 1 resort in the area.

Ski Vacation Destinations.

The Rocky Mountains of Colorado offer many good resorts to choose from. Some favorites include Telluride, Vail and Breckenridge. Telluride Ski Resort was built in the 1970′s and along with it came cultural events, festivals, music and more. People come to this town year after year for the wonderful skiing and other fun activities.

If skiing is what you are all about, Vail is the place to go! It has just been named number 1 for the 14th time in 19 years in Ski Magazines “Top 50 Resort Guide”. Vail offers world class skiing, fabulous nightlife and many fine dining options.

Breckenridge is a 147 year old Victorian town. People flocked to this town in the 1800′s in search of riches in the form of gold. Now this town is a haven for skiers of all types. This town offers many activities for families and travelers.

Beach Vacations

Beach resorts can be perfect for your next family vacation getaway. Some of the best resorts are in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.

Mexico

Los Cabos is one of Mexico’s most popular vacation destinations. It is located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Los Cabos features luxury hotels, championship golf courses and some of the best sport fishing in the world. Other activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, kayaking and much more.

The Caribbean

The Cayman Islands offer many things for many people. 99% of the travelers visit Grand Cayman Island. It is easy to see why people go here. Of the islands this island offers the most when it comes to resorts and hotels. The fabulous snorkeling and scuba diving is not to be missed. When diving, you will think you are in a pet shop aquarium. The fish are abundant and the stingrays are gentle and fun to watch. If time permits, rent a Jeep and cruise around the Island.

Hawaii

Hawaii offers many choices for the traveling family. Each island is unique and offers something for everyone. Kauai is less touristy but still offers much to do. The surfing and snorkeling are not to be missed. Be sure to take a day and drive up to Waimea Canyon. This canyon offers many photo opportunities, and spots to get out and hike near beautiful waterfalls. Maui offers white sand beaches perfect for sunbathing and relaxing. Maui also offers great sightseeing and wonderful shopping. Of the islands, Hawaii, also known as “The Big Island” is the largest. Here you can visit the only active volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands. You will also find wonderful resorts, pristine beaches, great nightlife, fine dining and shopping.

Golf Vacations

Right about now, you may be thinking “How can a golf vacation be good for my whole family?” Well, many golf resorts offer more than just golf. While you are out hitting the lynx, your family can be enjoying a beach, pool, or shopping. When you are done on the course you can meet up and head to one of the many fine dining establishments near your resort. Many golf vacations can be combined with a beach getaway. Mexico, Hawaii and the United States offer some of the best golf near some of the best beaches. These resorts offer many different specials and packages that can be tailored to fit your specific wishes.

Whatever your next vacation entails for you, you will not be disappointed with any one of the recommendations above. Be sure to see all you can see. The bottom line is to enjoy yourself and relax!

Oregon, another west-coast gem for skiing, boasts the Timberline resort – a locale offering summertime skiing, thanks to 20 feet of snow that falls each year.

However, if you’re experienced and looking for an adrenaline rush going down the slopes, head to the Avalanche run at Cannon. Often a challenge for even the most experienced skiers, Avalanche is sure to give you the rush you’re looking for.

Taking a ski trip with the entire family? Sign your kids up for ski and snowboard camps al across New Hampshire’s ski resorts – for example, Waterville Valley.

Where should I plan on skiing/riding next year?

Right now is the time of year I usually start planning my ski trips. Lodging selection are plentiful, and there are great deals on season passes. I’ve been skiing/riding for the last 12 years. Typically I go with a group of about 8 people and rent a 4 bedroom house for about 10-14 days. We’re all from Fl, and in our early 30′s. I’ve been to Heavenly three or four times, and it’s perfect because you get some great deals on season passes and homes prices-and the night life is pretty good. Breck/Vail resorts are pretty nice for these reasons as well. But we’ve been there as well. Park City’s night life’s great- but there are no real deals on lift tickets- and homes tend to be pricey for that area. I’ve looked into Big Sky, but I’m unsure as to the nightlife-and the cost factor. Whistler is obviously choice number one except for the cash. Stowe was nice- but somewhat small. East coast skiing is out due to the fact we’re spoiled by that soft pow. What am I missing that’s board friendly (minimal cat trails) budget friendly, decent nightlife (I refuse to use the term Apres Ski-sorry), and a great mountain in January or February? Appreciate all suggestions.

When you think of all the ski resorts in the world one of them stands out in your mind. Aspen offers a variety of ski areas for all levels of skiers and it covers 4,500 acres or more spread over four mountains. This resort is known for its nightlife because of the downtown area and the quieter Snowmass resort area has something to offer everyone.

Aspen provides all the restaurants and bars you could ever want or need You can take a stroll through this luxurious city and find many boutiques and much more. There is a lot of history in many of the buildings that are in the downtown area. One of these buildings is the Ute bank; this building can be

dated back to the silver area around the 1800′s.

With everything that there is to do in Aspen you should not find yourself getting bored. Aspen is located in Colorado, and with the various mountain ranges, you are sure to find slopes that are suitable for your level. Snowmass is one of the most popular resorts in the world, so be sure to make reservations well in advance.

Family Ski Destinations

Aspen Mountain has long been known as the playpen of the rich and famous and it truly is. But it is also a great place to take a family ski vacation. Christmas

in Aspen is especially wonderful! Aspen Mountain rises above the town of Aspen, with a top elevation of 11215 feet and a vertical drop of 3269 feet. There are 76 trails suitable for beginners, intermediates, and experts, accessible by eight lifts, including seven chair lifts and one cable car line.

While Aspen has much to offer skiers, as well as those who enjoy the night life in a ski town, you should expect lots of crowds and lift lines on the slopes. Again, this is the playpen of the rich and famous, and many people choose this ski vacation spot simply for that reason – as well as for the great

runs and nightlife.

There are numerous places to stay in and around Aspen, with more than 100 restaurants to choose from as well. Ski instructions and equipment rental

are abundant in the area, and snowboarders are welcome.

Using the Salt Lake City Mls to Find Your Next Home

If you are looking to purchase Salt Lake Real Estate then you have more information readily available than ever before. Public access to the local MLS system provides you with the powerfully ability to perform searches based on criteria specified by you.

First let me explain what an MLS is, and how they are used. MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service, and is a repository for all past and present real estate broker property listings. There are two interfaces into the MLS one used by Realtors, and another limited interface used by the public. When a property is listed for sale, its details are entered onto the MLS by the real estate brokerage. The public interface gives the buyer an ability for search for homes based on a number of specific criteria, for example price, area, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms etc. The broker / Realtor interface offers a far greater level of functionality, with the ability to pull reports, see additional property information, view properties that are under contract, have been sold or withdrawn from the market, view property sales prices etc. Two things you will not find on the MLS are rental properties and FSBO’s (For Sale By Owners).

But which MLS system do you need to access? Unlike other U.S. States were there are dozens of MLS’s, if you are looking to purchase homes in Utah there are only three from which to choose. If you are seeking property in the north of Utah (Davis County, Salt Lake County or Utah County) then the only MLS you will need to access is the Wasatch Front Regional MLS. If on the other hand you are interested in buying property in Summit County then you should search the Park City MLS. The third MLS covers the south part of Utah, providing services for St George and other southern Utah cities.

The public interface for Wasatch Front MLS is an invaluable tool for people looking to buy Salt Lake real estate, but there occasions when you will need your Realtor to use the extended functionality provided in their version. For example, if you want to find out the value of your current home, or if you find a home you are interested in and want to know if it is reasonably priced. Another piece of functionality available to Realtors is the ability to setup a Auto Hot Sheet. This functionality allows buyers to receive property listings in their email based on a number of criteria. For example, a buyer may want to see all 2-storey homes with five bedrooms, between $250,000 and $300,000, in Salt Lake City. Once setup an Auto Hot Sheet will email the buyer all listings matching the criteria, it will perform this check everyday so that any new listings or listings where the price has been changed are sent to the buyer. This obviously is a great advantage to buyers, who will save time performing their own searches and receive details of new property listings as soon as they are entered onto the MLS.
