A Road Trip Vacation to Ocean City Maryland

Sitting on a soft sandy beach

Travelling somewhere on a vacation is very costly, especially if traveling with a number of children, but it doesn’t have to be that way if planned properly. Most people would look into booking a flight and hotel combination package deal, but there are also other choices; How about searching on line for a condominium in the area desired, or similar location, where you could choose the number of bedrooms along with a fully functional kitchen, one or more bathrooms, a family room, washer and drier etc., all for a fraction of what you could pay for a hotel. Traveling does not have to be by plane either, if you could drive to your destination within a day; not only is the traveling just the price of gas in your car, but you have the means of driving to visit different areas in the destined city without using taxis, buses or renting a car.

Canada and the United States are so close and filled with vacation destinations and beautiful places to discover. Unfortunately the majority of the southern states have the misconception that Canada is covered with snow constantly, and the only reason they would visit is to snowmobile, skate or ski, but if they try to do that during the spring, summer and fall, they could be in for a big shock. The temperature in the summer could sometimes reach higher than 38C (100.4F) in the capital and recently there has been more fallen snow in the winter on the northern States than the Canadian capital. So before heading towards a destination check their weather pattern, so you know what to expect.

If you live in eastern Canada or northern United State one of the destination I’ve been to many times and would recommend is Ocean City, Maryland USA. I discovered this vacation spot by accident when I thought I was making a reservation for a condo at Ocean City, New Jersey USA, but by the end of the conversation on the phone I realized the mistaken identity between the two cities. I ran to my computer and searched Google map to discover that between Ocean City New Jersey, and Ocean City Maryland is a three hour drive more south. It turned out to be the nicest mistake I’ve ever made.

Ocean City Maryland is a strip of a narrow long island connected to the main land with bridges.

Hotels, inns, rental condominiums, homes, beach shops, and restaurants line the ocean shores, and you could choose a rental place on the bay area, or the ocean front.

It is a family oriented atmosphere; the boardwalk in the evenings is very relaxing; you could watch people flying all kinds of different colored and shaped kites, while the stores and fairs are packed with people just having fun. Getting a ride on the boat to see the dolphins, or the wild ponies on the island are also very popular.

There are many things you could do besides jumping the waves, boogie boarding, or soaking the sun; you have a choice of water sports, parasailing, and surfing.

In the winter, Ocean City Maryland becomes somewhat deserted because it is a seasonal tourist area, almost 75% of the population in the summer time are vacationers.

I usually use Coldwell Banker realty because they are easy to deal with, and very pleasant.

It is so nice to be on the beach

The cost could vary depending on the type of accommodation you are looking for; the more luxurious the more expensive. but the beauty about this place is that you could find something within your price budget starting at $900.00 us a week for a condominium right on the beach.

Taking time off work for a Vacation is the ultimate present you could give yourself. You were born to enjoy life, and have fun. Everyone work to live and not live to work! Do not let others make you feel guilty for taking time off your job. You need it and deserve it, so enjoy life as much as you can.
