What is your type of vacation?
Vacations are a mix of good things, since we can be rested, with boredom because sometimes we have nothing to do (or we are very rested). And then, before we take a vacation, we have that mental (or even written) list of all the programs and places we want to go when we have time. For some people, the holidays are so intense that it takes a vacation from the holidays to rest afterwards.
For some, vacations are synonymous with relaxing, resting, sleeping late, eating calmly, watching movies and visiting family. With the heat we have in Brazil, in some regions that are even hotter, doing all this is mixed with the desire to always be in air-conditioned environments and seek comfort in that magic word: air conditioning. And we know very well that there are people out there who also stop going to some places due to lack of air conditioning, such as traveling inland, farms, some types of transport, etc.
But we know that there are those intense vacations, full of appointments, trips and meetings on the beach, ballads. A commitment glued to the other, literally. For this holiday format, it's really good to have a schedule, so there are no shocks in schedules and meetings! For a couple that likes to go out and have a large circle of friends, the best way out is to alternate people and places, so that there are no disagreements when deciding what to do. Daily programs can also be scheduled, such as going to the gym, going shopping, from the supermarket to the mall, to enjoy time together. The couple does not always have time to do simple everyday things in partnership, because of the routine and lack of time due to work and therefore it can become pleasant to do on vacation with company.
Planning vacations is necessary, especially those that need a special budget. After the spending of the holidays and end of year gifts, you have to be strong to save for the holidays. Going out for dinner, travelling, spending the day out or on short trips has a high cost, and in tourist cities these values rise during the season. Even those with a very loose budget are scared at the end of the holidays, when looking at the bank statement. Coffee at the mall, sushi there and juice there, in the end it's a lot!
One of the problems of the holidays is the visits. Receiving guests at home or being a guest at someone's house requires a good deal of education. Helping with meals, offering to do common household chores or offering a stipend are mandatory actions when visiting someone. Even if those who receive us, or ourselves when we receive them at home, say no to these alternatives, it is very polite to offer them. It's really good to be a visitor, or receive visitors, that don't take too long, so there will be time just to kill the nostalgia and have fun.
In any case, the holidays are welcome. To get out of the hectic pace and rest, or to stir up new commitments. There are those who prefer short and intense vacations and those who want to produce and get back to work soon. It is important to see this moment as a break and plan for this moment in the way that you (or the couple) prefer, so that at the end of the vacation, the balance is positive. Otherwise, the vacation ends up being useless...
