We all need a break from our hectic lives at some stage. With everything we have going on, trying to balance personal lives and our careers in a fast-paced world it's no wonder that we sometimes feel ourselves becoming strung out and in need of rest and relaxation. That's when it's time to call the call the travel agent!
But then it's time for a few decisions. Where are we going to head off to? Do we need a place that is child-friendly? Do we want to go somewhere warm and sunny where we can relax on the beach or do we want a location with lots of exciting places we can visit? Do we want to go on an adventure type holiday, maybe something that involves diving, hiking, or skiing? Do we want to fly first class? Do we want to stay in a hotel or would we prefer to camp? What do we want to do while we are on vacation? What exactly does our dream holiday look like?
We want our readers to build a perfect vacation with this quiz and at the end, we'll reveal a dream travel buddy to go along for the trip!
What time of the year?
Finally! It's time for a hard-earned vacation. Sometimes we all just need to get away from everyone for a while and just recharge our batteries and there is no better way to do that than by a dream vacation. What time of the year did you have in mind for this trip?
What's the aim of this vacation?
Maybe you just need a little time away on your own? Maybe this is a chance for the family to bond and reconnect? Perhaps the purpose of this vacation is to get some serious shopping done. Or is it all about relaxing and unwinding? Tell us what you want from this trip.
Travelling with someone or going solo?
If you have a job where you often have to travel solo you might really enjoy some company when you go on vacation? Then again if you have a job that surrounds you with people every day you might want to spend your vacation time on a solo adventure. What will it be?
When does the packing begin?
There are some folks who start packing their bags for a vacation from the moment they book the tickets. These are the planners, the ones who want to make sure that everything is just right. Then there are those of us who will leave the travel packing until the last possible moment...
Packing light or packing everything?
Some folks are able to travel light. They don't need to bring everything they own, just what they really need. But there are others who can't plan like this. They need to know that they have a few more options and that usually means they need a few more suitcases too.
How many pairs of shoes to pack?
The type of vacation that you have in mind will determine how many pairs of shoes you will need for the trip. Will you need hiking boots or walking shoes? Flats, heels, or both? Boots? What about a pair of flip-flops for the beach? Perhaps you don't plan on wearing shoes at all!
Pick a way to get to the airport
The suitcase is packed. You've got your passport and everything else that you need. The goldfish has been fed and you've hauled your bags down the stairs. Now it's time to get to the airport and get on that plane to paradise! How will you get getting there?
Where is the destination?
Good news - you made your flight on time. So now, where will you be heading off to? Where is your dream destination for the ideal vacation? Somewhere hot in the Southern hemishere like maybe Brazil or somewhere in the Northern hemisphere like London or France? Where is this plane heading to?
First class or save the money?
There is a choice that needs to be made here. Either you can save the money you would have spent on a first class ticket and use it to buy something else during your holiday or you can choose to splurge and just go in all for the first class experience. What will it be?
What's the in-flight movie?
Already starting to feel relaxed? Now that you are all settled in on the flight and you've had something to drink it's time to watch a movie to help pass the time. The airline has a selection for passengers to choose from; which of them would you choose?
Choose an in-flight meal:
Starting to feel a little peckish? That's good because it's time to eat! And there are no bland choices here today either; this airline has quite a range on their menu and we're sure that there is something for everyone. Choose an in-flight meal from these yummy selections:
What's the best way to pass time during a long flight?
Now that you've had something to eat and something to drink, you've got time to just relax before you reach your destination. Looking out the window is fun but only for so long so what else do you occupy yourself with during the journey? Knitting, napping, or something else?
Destination reached! What's the time?
There's nothing like the feeling of finally reaching your dream destination! You've touched down on solid ground again and it's time for the real holiday to begin. But you've been traveling for a little while so what is the time does the flight arrive at its destination?
Pick a place to stay:
Of course, all the reservations have already been made in advance so all there is do to now is catch a taxi and go find your accommodation! Are there plans for a big fancy hotel room or do you prefer the privacy of a villa? Pick a place to stay:
Take a spin around the casino and choose a game:
Sometimes the first night on vacation can seem a little overwhelming but there's no need to worry because we have a fun idea. Why not go try your luck down at the casino? It looks like loads of fun and who knows, maybe you'll even win something!

What's for dinner on the first night?
The casino was fun and winning all that dough was thrilling but now there's only one thing on your mind: food! All this holiday excitement has given you a major appretiate so what is it going to be? Back to the room to order in dinner or going out somewhere?
Day one: Tours or explore alone?
After a refreshing night's sleep and a delicious breakfast, it's time to begin day one of the dream vacation. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to exploring this new place but will you join a tour group or do you prefer to just explore on your own?
Want to visit the beach?
Many of us dream of an island vacation where we mostly lie on the beach and just do nothing. But there is actually plenty to do at the beach, even for folks who aren't interested in playing water sports or going swimming. How much time will be spent at the beach during this vacation?
How about catching a show?
It's always exciting to take in new cultures while traveling and what better way to do that than by visiting a local show? Perhaps you'd like to check out a play at the theatre or is this not really your idea of holiday fun? Pick or pass on shows:
Planning on going hiking?
Some folks go on holiday to have a relaxing time while others think of their vacation time as adventure time. These are the people always ready for a hike or a climb, especially while they are on holiday. Are there any hiking adventures planned for this vacation or is that just crazy?

Planning on some water fun?
If this is a beach vacation you might be tempted to try out a few of the water sports. Maybe this is the perfect time to learn how to scuba dive or, if you're not feeling that brave, maybe just master the art of the snorkel. Pick or pass on water sports:
Pick a travel snack:
When we are out and about traveling; sight-seeing and meeting new people, there is not always a place to eat so a seasoned traveler will tell you it's always a good idea to bring along snacks. Something to munch on in between stops that won't leave a mess if it spills into a bag!
Going to use the gym on holiday?
Planning to keep that bod in tip-top shape during this vacation? Well, the good news is there is a fully equipped gym at the hotel so anyone wanting to work out is free to do so. Will you be breaking a sweat or can exercise wait until you're back home again?
Choose a travel memento:
When the holiday is over we need a way to remember it. Yes, we'll have photos but sometimes we want something that we can actually hold. So it's time to stop at a little local market and pick up a travel souvenir from this destination. What will it be?
Choose a gift for a friend:
While we are standing around looking for something to buy for ourselves we spot something that would be just perfect for one of our friends. And you know they will be thrilled if you bring something back for them. Pick one of these travel gifts for your friend back home:
