Set priorities
The most important thing in planning a vacation is setting your priorities. Firstly, you will need to take leave from work/office etc and get ready to relax at home. If you really want to experience an island type vacation, then you must cancel all of your appointments. You should make sure that nothing of immense importance is scheduled during your planned vacations otherwise it will be hard for you to enjoy yourself. If you are wanting to involve your friends or family members, you will need to discuss the plan with them to make sure everyone takes time off together. -

Organise things

Furthermore, if people will be staying with you, you need to make sure you have enough rooms and space for everyone to be comfortable without having issues.
