The first thing you should do is sit down with the people you're going on vacation with, whether it's a group of friends or a spouse, and talk about all the places you would like to go. If you're traveling on a budget, remember that going abroad is more expensive, and have additional payments once you arrive at the destination, especially if you have to exchange money. How long you want to go away for, and when you want to go should be discussed as well.
Once you have decided where and when you want to go you can go online or to your local travel agent, and get information on your hotel or villa options. If you prefer to do your research on the Internet, sites like Travelzoo, Sherman's Travel and Booking Buddy can compare multiple airline prices and offers so you can be sure to get the best deal, making travel arrangements easier.
You can even call the hotels and find out what they offer. Compare prices for several days and check to find out when the best deals are. To find the best prices on flights, don't travel on a weekend or holidays. If you can, mix up the days to see what provides the best offer.
Once you know where you're going and how you're getting there the is easy. Packing should be a walk in the park. You can easily pack for several days and only bring one bag per person.
Make sure you pick up a map of where you'll be staying and have made travel arrangements for while you're in the area. Ask about local transport, whether you plan on using taxis, local buses or driving.
If you have the time and inclination to do and see many things, keep a list of things you want to see and how much they cost. And if you're the type who just wants to lay around on the beach improving your tan, don't forget some sunscreen.
