Discussion: Vacation for both Sport Fanatics and a Shop-a-holics?

Vacation is supposed to be relaxing time, when everybody is having fun. Sometimes it might be a bit difficult when everyone wants different things. But no worries! We have collected 5 different places where both Sport Fanatics and Shop-a-holics can enjoy the vacation!!

Now Ladies, remember to trick your husbands well and they won't even notice that you have been shopping the whole day!

1. New Orleans

The Super Bowl has been held in New Orleans for nine times. A true Football fanatic knows this and the Superdome sports and exhibition facility is a must-see place for him. While the Sport Fanatic is admiring the location it's time to go shopping! In Magazine Street you can find unique boutiques and special products.
2. Newark

A true baseball fan knows that the first recorded baseball game in the USA took place in New Jersey. On the 19th of June in 1846 the New York Nine played against the Knickerbockers and won 23-1. While the Sport Fanatic goes to explore the history of baseball the Shop-a-holic heads to the Jersey Gardens, the biggest shopping mall in town with its' 200 stores!
3. Chapel Hill

The greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, begun his career in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Every true basketball fanatic must visit the place once in a lifetime. For a Shop-a-holic the Chapel Hill Downtown shopping mall is the place to be. You can find over 250 stores from the mall!
4. Mission Beach

Mission Beach is a place worth visiting for a fanatic surfer. Don't worry if you don't know how to surf yet, you can always take a lesson! For a Shop-a-holic we recommend a visit to the Fashion Valley. There you can find over 200 stores!
5. Phoenix

A true golf fanatic can find one of the best golf resorts in Phoenix, Arizona. They even call the place the mecca of golf in the Valley of Sun! A golf lover will enjoy his vacation in the golf ranches while a Shop-a-holic goes exploring the downtown. In downtown you can find several different shopping centers, galleries and boutiques.

I think this is a funny writing :D It really is difficult to make holidays interesting for everyone. Would it be easier to just do like my stuff in this holiday and your stuff in the next holiday? Do you understand what I mean? :D

Its definitely a good point. Vacations are seen so black and white and therefore people don't get the fact that they, just like your very own living room for example, can be tailored to fit everyone's' wishes.

Yeah, with dynamic packaking you can now days build your own holiday just as you like. It just sometimes easier to make a ready trip with a tour operator.

It could be nice to have that type of a holiday. One should plan it of course beforehand, but eventually it could be a nice combination. My boyfriend would love it if I'd recommend that place in Chapel Hill. I wouldn't have to compromise on my standards either.. :)

When we go for a holiday as a family its all about doing things together. When we consider the places to visit, the older ones make the final decision. So when it comes to our family and being on a holiday, its not about that everyone gets to see everything what they want, its about being together as a family.

I think that this idea shouldn't be taken so precisely. It should be seen as a way where everyone or both (depending of the number of people on holiday) can explore the things they want. It doesn't necessarily mean that people are spending their whole holiday apart from each other.

I've thought this type of holiday for me and my girlfriend but never really had the courage to suggest it! Maybe now I could persuade her to a holiday where we can both do the things we enjoy!
