Vacation is a great time to recharge yourself and switch over to favorite activities beside work. The journeys can be long and short, luxurious and cheap, active and quiet. Someone chooses plane and beach resort, someone jumps into a bus to have an excursion trip and someone can't imagine spending free time without a sea cruise or a car trip. If you had a chance to try or combine all these types, you are a happy person. But if you don't have an opportunity to live in grand style and travel by expensive vehicle kinds of transport, then the cheapest and most fun way to spend your vacation time is camping.
