There are as many vacations as there are types of people in the world, and we all choose the vacation that makes us or someone else happy. eg.  go to Disneyworld with your kids to fulfill one of their "dreams".  

We'll define a vacation as time when you escape the daily routine of working and do something that you need or want to do.

Vacations as time off work, are necessary for everyone to recharge and enjoy like. Too much work, like too much food, and drink is not healthy.  Choice of vacation is determined by budget, time off and psychological needs.

When I was a kid my Mom and Dad and I packed up the rambler and drove to a city where we knew someone, so we could stay at their home instead of a motel.  We'd work our way around the country for 2 weeks, to see friends and avoid paying for a motel.  The weeks of vacation that we didn't do that, we all worked on a project building a deck, re-shingling the house, or planting a garden.  These were clearly my Dad's vacation choices because he was the only one who worked, and therefore needed a vacation.  Those were the days.

Now John and I find places with different topography, an ocean or mountains to go and stay for a week and enjoy the physical and scenic activities that make us feel better and healthier.  Our goals of recharging are the same, but our method is quite different.

Healthy vacations can happen anywhere, but the vacationer has to make it happen.  This is harder in some environments than is others.  Choosing a skiing vacation for example is easier to stay healthy and get exercise than the choice of an all you can eat cruise or visiting grandma who spend her day happily cooking food for everyone to overeat.
