Plan A Dream Vacation and We'll Guess What The In-Flight Movie Will Be

Everyone loves to fantasize about their dream vacation from time to time. It might be during another boring work meeting or while we are waiting in a long queue at the grocery store. Everyone's perfect breakaway looks different but they all have one thing in common: just the thought of being in that place makes us feel happy.

Often when it comes to planning vacations we run into a few barriers. Firstly, there's the cost. We might dream of lying on the beach in Bora Bora but our wallet just can't stretch that far. Then there's the question of time. If we have a full-time job we only get so much paid leave every year and if we work for ourselves it might be even more difficult to try and take holiday time. We also might have children and pets to consider when it comes to planning vacations.

Today we want our readers to imagine that none of these "vacation barriers" exist. All they need to do is map out their perfect vacation, from planning to arriving back home again, and at the end, we'll reveal what the in-flight movie would be during their flight. Bon voyage dreamers!

Question 1

What time of the year will this vacation take place?

What of the year would be ideal for this dream vacation? Will we be needing nice cold weather and a little bit of snow or do we want it hot and sunny for the beach? Or are we just looking for mild temperatures? Which season would be the best for this adventure?

Question 2

How long are we vacationing for?

Most of us only have so much time to go on vacation every year but for this trip, we don't need to worry about any time restrictions. For this one, you can simply choose how long is needed to recharge those tired batteries. How long will this vacation be?

Question 3

What is the aim of this vacation?

Vacations are all about having fun and relaxing but there might be other things we also want to achieve with our leisure time. Maybe we want to try and network or meet interesting new people. Perhaps we want to try something adventurous or simply make time for shopping? What's a must do on this agenda?

Question 4

How long does it take to pack the suitcase?

Some of us get so excited about going on vacation that we might start packing the bag weeks before the holiday is meant to start. We might even make lists of all the things we want to pack. And then there are those of us who will always leave the packing until the absolute last moment.

Question 5

Will any books be packed in?

Will any books be making their way into the luggage? Are we going to use this holiday to try and catch up on some of the books on our to-read list? Or will we be using our leisure time for things other than reading? Will there be space for a few books in the luggage?

Question 6

Will we need a swimsuit for this vacation?

Will we be needing to make a trip to the mall to grab a new swimsuit before we set off? If an island or beach holiday is on the cards this is a must-have item. Although even if we forget it, we can probably buy one at the destination if we really need to, right?

Question 7

Do we need to make room for snow wear?

If the destination for this vacation is somewhere cold we should make space for some snow wear in the bag. It's essential to have enough of the right clothes otherwise we might be quite miserable. Don't forget those sunglasses, mittens and a warm hat. And some snowshoes!

Question 8

The suitcase won't close. What gets left behind?

Okay, okay, we have run into a bit of a problem here. The suitcase will just not close, even when it's being sat on. It's just too full and the fact is, something is going to need to stay behind. Which of the following items can be left at home?

Question 9

How long is it going to take to get there?

How long is the journey going to take? Is the destination somewhere quite close or are we traveling to the other side of the world? And how long is it going to take to get there if we start moving right now? How far away is the dream destination?

Question 10

What will the journey involve?

How are we going to reach this dream destination? Are we going to need to catch a plane or maybe a train? Are we going to be driving there, road-trip style? Or maybe, just maybe, we'll be reaching our destination via a boat or ocean liner? How will we get there?

Question 11

Travelling light or tons of luggage?

Some of us are simply incapable of traveling light. We never know what we are going to need (or what we are going to feel like wearing) so the result is that everything needs to go in the suitcase. And then there are people who have mastered the art of a capsule wardrobe...

Question 12

What's the best way to pass the time while travelling?

Between deciding on our dream destination and getting there is the actual journey. And sometimes that can be a little boring right? Hours and hours on a place or train... So what is the best way to pass the time while speeding toward the dream destination? Listen to music? Read a book? Chat with strangers?

Question 13

Economy or first class?

This is a dream vacation after all so are we planning to fork out the extra cash and just upgrade to first class or should we save that money for shopping on the other side? How are we going to arrive? Is it going to be economy travel or first class all the way?

Question 14

Who is along for the trip?

Who is coming along on this dream vacation? Perhaps a family member or a parent? Maybe this is a romantic vacation with a significant other or an adventure with a best friend? Or perhaps even a whole group of friends! Or could this be the solo adventure of a lifetime?

Question 15

Pick a travel snack:

Travelling can make a person really hungry so it's important to make sure to have a snack ready beforehand. The perfect snack is one that's easy to pack into a bag and something that won't make a mess. Which of these delicious snacks would be perfect for the long road?

Question 16

Pick a place to stay:

Okay! The trip is finally over and we have arrived! Now, where are we going to be staying? Have we booked into a fancy hotel or resort or are we going to stay in a hostel? Perhaps we'll be staying at a camping site? Where is the base of operations for this vacation?

Question 17

Alone in the room or sharing?

Now that we've arrived it's time to get unpacked and all settled in. Now, are we going to be alone in this room or will we need to share it with someone else? Can we take up all the available floor space with all our stuff or do we need to be considerate to someone else?

Question 18

What's on the agenda for the first night?

Now that we've unpacked and got all settled in, the sun is starting to set outside. So what are the plans for the very first night? Stay in and order from room service? Or head out into the night and explore this dreamy destination? Perhaps party till the break of dawn?

Question 19

Tours or explore alone?

Going on guided tours can be great, especially for those who really want to learn and have fun at the same time. But heading out on our own and exploring can also be fun. What's it going to be? Explore alone, or stick with the tour guide and the group?

Question 20

Is this a city or nature trip?

Sometimes we just want to escape from the concrete jungle and get back to nature while we're on vacation. But sometimes we don't mind swapping one concrete jungle for another. On this dream vacation will we be spending more time in the city or in nature? Or a bit of both?

Question 21

Will there be any hiking or walking?

Will there be any hiking or walking on this dream vacation? Do we plan on using our feet to explore the city or maybe the jungle? Perhaps we're going to be going on a hike or even climbing a mountain? Or is the plan to stay off our feet as much as possible?

Question 22

Planning on seeing any museums?

We all travel for different reasons. Some people simply want to see new places and meet new people while others want to know more about arts and culture. For these folks, there's nothing more exciting than a day exploring museums. Will there be any tours like that during this vacation?

Question 23

Planning on sampling local food?

When it comes to food and traveling we always have a choice. We can choose to play it safe and eat at the hotel or we can venture out onto the street and get a taste of the local flavor. Are we going to be sampling any regional specialties during this trip?

Question 24

Going to make use of the gym?

When we are on vacation, especially our dream vacation, the last thing we want to be thinking about is our diet right? No one wants to say no to another slice of cake when they're on holiday. Does that mean we'll be hitting the resort gym or can exercise wait till we get home?

Question 25

How much of this vacation is going on social media?

Some of us simply can't resist posting all about our vacations and adventures on social media. We want to share our excitement with our friends and if we make them a little jealous at the same time, well, it's just too bad. How much will this dreamy holiday be shared on social media?

Question 26

How about a few spa treatments?

If we want a vacation aimed at total relaxation, a trip to the hotel spa might not be such a bad idea. A little hot stone massage to help melt away that tension and maybe an energizing facial to help us feel fresh? Will there be any spa appointments on the itinerary?

Question 27

What to do on a rainy day?

It's simply pouring with rain out the hotel, so any outdoor plans that we had planned for today are canceled. It's going to be one of those long, grey rainy days and we won't be able to go out at all. So what is the best way to pass the time?

Question 28

Planning to do any snorkelling or scuba diving?

If this is an island or beach style vacation there might be a little snorkeling or scuba-diving involved. This is the best way to explore the coral reefs and see all the amazing little creatures who live there. Are there any scuba-diving or snorkeling adventures planned for this vacation?

Question 29

How about something adventurous?

For those with an adventurous spirit, a vacation might be the perfect time to indulge their need for an adrenaline rush. They might want to try out zip lining, bungee jumping or shark cage diving or maybe even cliff diving. Will there be any adventurous activities on this travel plan?

Question 30

Choose a travel memento:

Very soon our dream vacation will be coming to an end and we will need something to remember it by. So we're going to head out to the shopping district to look for a suitable travel memento. Of these items on offer, which would make the perfect souvenir?

Question 31

Choose a gift for a friend:

Now that we've picked out our own little travel memento it's time to get something for our best friend. What will they like more? A destination t-shirt perhaps? Or maybe some fancy designer perfume? What sort of gift are we going to take back home for our BFF?

Question 32

Will another suitcase be needed for all the shopping?

When we pack our suitcases before leaving on vacation we sometimes forget that we might need extra space to bring back all the things we buy on vacation. Has that happened during this dream holiday? Will another suitcase need to be purchased to bring home all the swag?

Question 33

It's the last night. What are the plans?

Doesn't time just fly when we're on vacation? Well, we've had a great time in this location but now we need to start preparing to leave. What are the plans for the final night? Get some rest for the journey or party the night away and sleep on the flight?

Question 34

Another destination or straight home?

Perhaps there was more than one destination involved in this dream vacation? So will we be heading off home or do we plan on stopping in somewhere else first? Maybe this was just the first leg of a round-the-world tour? So what will it be: next stop or straight home?

Question 35

First thing to do when arriving home?

Going on away on vacation is great. Seeing new places is awesome and it's always fun to make new friends. But there's no feeling in the world quite like arriving back home and sinking down into our own bed again. What's first on the agenda when arriving back from vacation?
