I’m still looking for a vacation for the family.  Lots of good deals out there but its difficult to decide.  Took a serious look at a cruise, which are incredible deals these days, but certain members of the family get a little motion sickness.  All inclusive vacation packages are also pretty good deals these days but I’m tired of the same old all-inclusive  resort vacation experience.  Mexico is out of the question now.    The Swine Flu is scary, and its unfortunate for Mexico’s tourism.  Mexico is a really nice place, however their tourism has been falling with recent drug wars, violence and now this.  No one wants to visit a country where people are getting kidnapped for ransom.  To digress a little the Swine Flu is making world headlines, and its showing signs of a world epidemic.  Cases have now been reported in Canada, and eleven cases in the united states. I am now considering a vacation rental property closer to home.  Many people are taking vacations closer to home these days and vacation rental properties offers  a good economic alternative and the comforts of home while on vacation.  Check out vacation rental homes.  They have listing all over the world, and you can find just about any vacation rental property you could imagine, all over the world!
