Get preapproved for a mortgage. This is a critical step, particularly if you already have a home loan and will add to your debt level. Depending on what you owe on your
primary residence, you may be limited by what a lender is willing to give you for a vacation home mortgage. Alternatively, look into refinancing your primary residence at a lower rate
for cash to buy a second home. See How to Shop for a Mortgage and How to Refinance Your Home.
Think about what sort of vacation home you want: a cabin, a house or a condo? Condos come with additional issues, such as home owners associations
Buying a vacation home--that haven away from it all--is an enticing thought, but the process is subject to the same practical considerations as any other financial decision you may
make. Know what you're looking for, shop aggressively and pay attention to the numbers to ensure you walk away with the best deal possible.

A packing list eliminates the panic of last-second packing for your family, serves as a handy guide for repacking at the end of a trip, and can be beneficial in the unfortunate event of lost of stolen luggage.
When planning the wardrobes for you and your children, consider the events you will participate in both day and night and write down a possible outfit for each person, for each activity. Crosscheck this list to ensure it covers multiple occasions. Pack clothes that coordinate well together, based on complimentary colors.
Check the weather forecast for your destination and plan accordingly. Also, be sure to know the local traditions, where your son’s t-shirt for dinner could be a serious blunder, or bare shoulders may bar entrance into such places as St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. For almost all outdoor activities, take pieces that can be layered.

Your family’s vacation is not a business trip, so forget dress clothes for every occasion. Besides, the world at large has relaxed its dress code, showing almost universal leniency to tourists.

Choosing your accommodations is a big part of planning a vacation. There are many types of places to stay. Two of the most popular are traditional resorts and vacation rentals which are growing in popularity. Resorts are large, usually company owned hotels. Vacation rentals are usually individually owned and can be houses, apartments or condos. The difference between the two are distinct, but they do have some similarities. When choosing which is best for you it might be easier to compare the two
Vacation rentals take you from a crowd to an individual place.
You are renting a home, basically. You do not have to worry
about noisy neighbors or being interrupted by service workers.
You have the freedom and ability to cook for yourself and even
have a little private party of you wish. Vacation rentals can be
very affordable. When you consider having to rent a couple rooms
for your family verses only one rental house you can see why you
can save money. They also do not have the staff expenses.
Although, some vacation rentals do offer outside services that
may add a little extra to your bill, but allow you to keep
aspects of a hotel. For example, they might provide you with a
chef to cook your evening meals or a maid to tidy up for you.
Vacation rentals also tend to have more space than you would get
in a traditional hotel room. You have greater privacy also.
Vacation rentals can be found almost anywhere you want to
vacation and prices come to fit in all budgets.
Resorts are the idea of luxury while vacationing. You have
someone to take care of everything you hate to do at home, from
cleaning to cooking. You can get a range of services for a range
of prices with resorts. If you are looking for a vacation
package you can usually get the resort included. This allows you
to know exactly how much you will spend and have everything
taken care of in one attempt. Resorts offer many extra services
besides basic housekeeping and cooking. Some resorts have dance
instructors and nannies on staff, to give two examples. You can
spend the day busy with resort sponsored activities or just
lounge around relaxing. You get top of the line service and
never ending fun when staying at a resort.
