For some, the idea of a great summer vacation is to do
absolutely nothing but sleep, swim, eat and then sleep
some more! However, there are some people who take the
opportunity to drop some excess flab and get fit into
the bargain.

Fitness camps have been springing up all over the US,
offering all kinds of treatment for those of us
blessed with a bigger than average girth.

But its not just lettuce leaves and spring water.
These camps – perhaps we should call them spas since
?camp? has a rather rigid connotation! – offer
education programs and self awareness seminars to help
the individual change the lifestyle that got them into
trouble in the first place.

Guests are taught how to evaluate there lifestyle and
to look at oneself to gain inner peace. This, coupled
with an exercise regime – be it in the gym or climbing
mountains – tailor made for the individual?s fitness
level, equips you with all you need to start that
better, more healthy, life that we all seem to promise
ourselves ?one day?.

So really it?s like going back to school to learn
healthy habits that will make you feel – and look -
great!

Most of these spas are set in superb surroundings -
maybe a mountain retreat, or perhaps a tropical beach,
or even in another country.

If it is just a few pounds you want to shed or maybe
it really is a time for changing your lifestyle more
dramatically, then this could be the holiday for you.

Summer is coming again and you know you want to do
something ?different? but just what is that you are
looking for?

One of the fastest growing vacations is the kind where
you learn to do something totally out of your normal,
everyday life. Perhaps you would like to try
scuba-diving?

These courses are offered in most areas but why not
learn it in some exotic far-flung place and have a
great adventure at the same time? Places are far apart
as Zanzibar or Turkey, Kenya or Israel and the like.

Maybe you are not into the ?watery? sports, so what
about belly-dancing or rock-climbing? Again, all on
offer near you whether it?s in the local community
college or at the mall.

More exciting though when, for example, some dusky
eyed maiden is swiveling her hips for you in some
balmy Mediterranean hotspot.

If the more active holiday is not for you – try out a
cookery course. Think of the shock on your friends or
family?s faces when you invite them to that gourmet
meal that wasn?t delivered by the local eatery. Or
display that water-color you produced yourself on the
shores of the Indian Ocean.

That is not to say that you can?t have that ?lying in
a hammock with cold drink and a good book? kind of
vacation but there is nothing more rewarding than
mastering a new art.

It may be time to impress your friends, and yourself,
with that latent talent you never knew you had!

Can you remember that song? Was it in South Pacific?
Ok, for the younger ones, this was a haunting song
from a musical – not many of those around these days!
- which in those days seemed like a world away from
our everyday lives.

But these days Bali has much to offer and it is within
most people?s ?trip of a lifetime? holiday plans.

Where is it? It is one of the islands of Indonesia. If
you look at a world map, Bali is North West of
Australia sitting between Jakarta and East Timor.

What does it have to offer? Well, it could probably be
listed amongst some of the most beautiful places in
the world. The island is practically ringed with white
sand beaches and clear water.

It has an active volcano at its center, rice fields
abound everywhere and Hindu temples, complete with
offerings to the Gods, are scattered throughout the
island.

The island is famous for its batik cloth and
paintings. Balinese culture includes the colorful and
unique dance troupes as well as its famous wood
carvings.

This truly is a beautiful and serene place where the
local people love to show off their cultural heritage.
They welcome visitors from all around the world and
offer many kinds of exciting experiences along with
the usual snorkeling, diving programs, horse-riding
and boat trips to other islands.

This surely must be one of the most exotic and far
flung places you could ever wish to visit.

Perhaps one of the most diverse areas of the United
States is the region containing Idaho, South Dakota,
Montana and Wyoming.

This surely must offer the widest range of parks,
rodeos, adventure holidays, skiing holidays and river
rafting adventures etc. There is more to see, do and
get involved in, than possibly any other part of the
US.

Mount Rushmore is situated here – imagine how many
people must have seen this monument – along with the
famous Little Big Horn battle ground.

Its not all camping trips and trekking here though.
Five star resorts with gourmet meals and fine wine
abound and cater for the discerning palates amongst
us. Did you know that there is a falls higher than the
more famous Niagara Falls? Or a canyon deeper than the
Grand Canyon? Surprisingly both can be found here.

There is a lot for children to do too. Imagine
teaching them how to light and cook over open
camp-fires. Teaching them to fish for their supper!
Hiking up trails instead of sitting in front of the
T.V. – a somewhat ?old-fashioned? way of reconnecting
as a family.

There is much on offer here and it would seem to give
the traveler something a little different. The chance
to be at one with nature and see the natural wonders
of the world.

So if it?s wide open spaces with big skies that you
are looking for – this is the place. But be warned,
once you have experienced this magnificent place, you
may not want to leave!
