Deciding what to do with time off from work can be stressful. There are so many things which impact the decision. Cost and wildly diverse family interests complicate matters, and the answer to both may be visiting travel destinations by car.
Part of the problem in making the decision is the wonderful array of choices Americans have to select from. With so many things to do, it is sometimes hard to choose. Once the what is selected, then the method of getting there has to be chosen.
Many enjoy making trips by plane, but the more people going, the greater the expense. It has also become more complex to make a trip, with check-in, security and baggage restrictions making things less convenient. Once one makes it to the final airport, one must either rent a car or depend on taxis to get around.
The other means of mass transportation, buses or trains, may be more economical, but they take longer and are not any more comfortable. One cannot stop until the scheduled stops, and there is little privacy. When finally arriving at destination, there is still a matter of getting around to attractions, restaurants and the hotel.
When making the trip by van, everything needed can be taken along either in a suitcase or just brought along. Fuel is an increasing concern, but not when compared to the price of tickets for mass transit. It also provides the maximum flexibility to enjoy anything one finds along the way.
With the greatest flexibility and control getting to travel destinations by car is the most stress-free way to enjoy a holiday. Bathroom breaks, eating schedules and even changes in destination are all possible. Mass transportation may be more environmentally friendly, but until they are more flexible, most will take the family auto.
