But with so many choices available, how does one choose the perfect destination? Budget, location, activities and amenities are all factors that help determine a location the whole family will enjoy. The following five travel tips will get even the most inexperienced travelers on the road to their ideal summer vacation in 2006.
Plan ahead. Accommodations can be sold out or unavailable by early summer. The Travel Industry Association of America, who conducted an online survey of 1,519 U.S. adults aged 18 and over in January 2006, reports that 21 percent of Americans who are planning to travel this summer had already arranged lodging at their destination. The rest were either exploring their options for where to stay (28 percent) or had not yet selected the specific destination for their trip (32 percent). The age of the internet makes research and booking easy and fairly painless. Chamber of Commerce websites make finding destination activities and outings simple. Getting the whole family excited about your trip can be as easy as spending 20 minutes around the computer looking at websites that bring the destination right into your home.

Did you see this Eurostar commercial yet? Enough to make train nerds (and preservationists) cry. (Yes, the station really looks that hot.)
Well, it happened. Today, London came closer to Paris, and the United Kingdom got its first proper high-speed rail line, linking the renovated St. Pancras station to Gare du Nord in just 2 hours and 15 minutes, a savings of a little more than 20 minutes. Train nerds know that it takes a lot of work to eliminate a chunk of time like that from an itinerary. Well, safely anyway.
