Now is the time to finalize your summer vacation plans.  You say that you have no plans yet!  You are not alone.  In this month’s telegathering (It was a great class with a good turnout) the main relationship question that many had is, “How do I find out what to do for the summer and still have the opportunity to meet other singles?”  You are not unlike many singles who wait until the last minute to make this decision about their summer plans. 

First, you need to figure out how much time you have.  Do you want to take off a full week or two?  Or would you rather take a couple of long weekends?  The time allotted will determine what kind of vacation or trip you can take. 

Second, what is your budget?  How much are you willing to spend?   Do you want to have a long weekend at a posh resort or would you like to take a week’s trip that is packaged for the budget traveler? 

Next, check in with your values.  This will give you a sense of what would be a fulfilling vacation for you.  If you are a person who would love to get involved in philanthropic projects (and meet others who share your passion),  I recommend that you look into trips that are organized around doing service such as Steppin Out Adventures. 

If you are a person who values a healthy active lifestyle, then there are many resorts and trips that specialize in sports and other physical activities, as well as healthy meals such as Canyon Ranch, Club Getaway, and Club Med.   Also, there are biking trips such as Backroads and hiking trips as well.  

Remember to seek trips or groups that are age-appropriate.  An organization such as Elder Hostel (www.elderhostel.org) runs educational and active trips for the over-60 crowd. 

If learning about and experiencing other cultures is important to you, then there are many single tour groups that you can find. 

Many of my clients tell me that they would love to find a love relationship with someone who loves to travel so they can have a traveling companion.  Then my dating advice to you is to travel with the intent of meeting other singles along with finding a vacation that is satisfying to you. 

In my next blog post I will explore more types of vacations or trips you may want to consider.  What kind of vacation are you seeking?  Would you like the opportunity to meet singles this summer while you travel?
