What do you do when you want vacation packages? In more innocent times the choices were few. You chose your foreign location and designated either two weeks or three. It was far safer to travel in those days. Terrorism was a term used to describe the most recent Hitchcock thriller. 911 was a number you associated with emergency services in England. Then people were able to store their electronic devices under their aircraft seats and it was debatable if you should really put out your cigarette on take off! In-flight movies were something that occurred when the passenger beside you had spent too much time in the bar prior to take-off and has decided that the curry he just ate may not wish to remain in his stomach. I remember as a child being invited up to the cockpit to see how they drove the airplane. If I attempted to do this now, I would be looking at several months to years extended all inclusive vacation in a penal center. Vacationing is not what it used to be.

Well how do you select cruise vacation packages? Ooops, I made a conjecture there. Many years ago, you would collect a return flight, arrive at your destination, grab a cab and say Im new in town, what do you recommend! Those were innocent days. Today, in high season, that question will formulate in the cabbies mind the word easy mark. You just stated that you dont know what or where you are and you are prepared to blindly hand over your holiday spending money. And the cabbie will expect a copious tip for sharing this local wisdom. We hope those times are gone. Today people to not want to take any risk with their limited and precious vacation. They demand a vacation PACKAGE. They do not want to concern themselves with local currency and exchange rates, where to eat or if the water is safe to consume. They want all-inclusive vacation resorts that ensure them the basic elements of any quality vacation. They demand to have it assured that there is transportation both ways to their resort and that the pool can be accessed directly from the hotel lobby. They also demand to know that the room has a safe where they can place their valuables while they are eating in the restaurant.

Although vacation packages have evolved far beyond the outing to the local farmers market, the ever growing holiday market suggests that we aint seen nuthin yet. Reservations to be on the first Virgin Tours to outer-space has already sold out several years ago. Skylon is the term for a new class of airplane that will take off under its own power and return to earth having traveled in outer space without staging. It will not drop off parts during flight and will return to land with all parts that it left with. So it looks like Christmas cruises will become an anachronism a story to tell your grandchildren about. So, latch up your seat belts as were going into hyper-drive!
