1 A well-planned vacation can satisfy a person’s inner explorer or be just what is needed for rest and rejuvenation. 2 Vacations make beautiful family memories and are times when loved ones get together. 3 Today, people are so driven to work hard, make money, and be successful. 4 It is too exhausting not to get a reward for it. 5 However, if a vacation is not well-planned, it could be a disaster.

6 For example, my family and I once had a bad vacation because of poor planning. 7 We went to a river to float on inner tubes, and Dad lost his glasses in the water. 8 Mom had to drive the entire way home. 9 Also, my sister Amy got caught in some rapids at the Grand River and had to be rescued. 10 Now she is scared of any kind of rushing, foaming water. 11 She is enrolling in swim lessons and a water safety class because of this. 12 Additionally, as a result of poor planning, our hotel was booked up. 13 We had to stay in the expensive bridal suite! 14 My dad said, “If I were smarter, I would have called them first.” 15 For our next vacation, he enlisted us kids to help out and be better prepared. 16 We had worked hard to find out all the information that we could. 17 These are some of the things we helped him with.

18 First, we researched! 19 We had a few destinations in mind, but we asked friends and family for advice about places to go and new things to do. 20 Also, internet resources have vacation websites and reviews to read written by other travelers. 21 Moreover, they have pictures and events to explore and can schedule with a guide to keep you safe. 22 We are definitely getting a guide for our next trip!
