Let's face it, not everyone in the family always wants to do the same things. Not to mention the fact that even though they are your family and you love them dearly, a week of togetherness is a long time. Let me tell you about a great vacation plan for your family.

Start together. Orlando has so many theme parks you could almost spend the entire week just doing that. But let me warn you, the lines get long as do the days and after about 2 or 3 days you just can't take anymore theme park fun.

So break up the trip and let everyone experience some of their own fun. Dad and son, you have to go fishing. Florida has the best bass lakes in the world. A fun relaxing day bonding with your son will fit into the trip very well, especially after a day or two of theme parks. You can also go to Melbourne, Cocoa Beach or Titusville and go deep sea fishing which is only 1 hour away. If you have never caught a sailfish or jack, you really haven't taken a vacation. You will need a fishing charter or guide. The best place to locate one is Blue Sport Fishing on the internet which has over 10,000 fishing charters and guides around the country. Find a great charter and some great fish!

Mom and daughter, while the boys are out fishing just take a relaxing day on the beach. Enjoying Florida beaches shouldn't be missed. There are also many local shops and restaurants which are lot's of fun. Rent a beach bike and go riding up the beach. The point is to have a fun and relaxing day with your daughter. Better yet, go fishing with the guys. You will have a great time and might just show them how to catch some fish. Wouldn't that be a good story for your vacation.

Now it is about day four or five. Ready for some more theme parks? Right ? Go for it. You are now rested and ready to chase the lines and the fun. But, if your not quite ready yet. Go snorkeling, diving, canoeing, sailing or a thousand other activities that Florida has to offer. Ask your fishing charter or fishing guide. They often either do scuba and snorkeling charters or can recommend one to you.

I don't want anybody to get upset so let me just say it now. Yes, dad you can go with your daughter to the beach and mom can take son fishing. You can all go fishing. But I would not recommend mom and dad going fishing and leaving the kids to play on the beach. You don't want them to have that much fun!

It is about a great relaxing vacation for everyone. Do things you don't normally do. That is the opportunity of a vacation. That is why I highly recommend a fishing charter for catching some big fish in the Gulf of Mexico or in the Atlantic. But if you don't go bass fishing much or just want to stay real close to Orlando, get a fishing guide and catch some great bass. Give your children more of an experience than just the theme parks.
