Hawaii
Hawaii is one of the best destinations for all types of holidays. This shall always top my list of destinations for a family vacation. There is just so much to see all at once. The biggest advantage of planning a vacation in Hawaii is that you will be far away from the rest of the world. The rainforests here are some of the most beautiful, the movie Jurassic Park, having been shot in one of these.

Apart from this, you can also indulge in the finest food flavors.

Some of the islands in the Caribbean also offer submarine rides that are an adventurous experience for most. There are many cruises that take you to the Caribbean all around the year.
