Meet Me at the Beach Say SuiteTrip.com Readers

McLean, VA, January 21, 2010 – Readers of SuiteTrip.com, a resource for family and leisure travel information, trip advice and saving strategies, have spoken, and fun in the sun is most desirable when planning their next family vacation.   SuiteTrip.com’s  first ever “Quick Vote,” a monthly poll on a variety of family and leisure travel topics, resulted in nearly half the respondents (49%) naming the beach as their favorite family vacation destination.  Camping in the great outdoors and visiting a bustling city were voted second and third respectively.

“Enduring one of the coldest winters on record, many families are looking to escape this year’s bone-chilling temperatures of the Midwest and Northeast,” said Lisa McElroy, SuiteTrip.com contributor and family travel expert. “I enjoy beach vacations not only because my kids love the sand and surf, but because it’s an environment where I can relax and the kids can run around and play safely, with me watching from the shore.”

The current SuiteTrip.com poll asks readers about their favorite way to reach their travel destination.  Selection options include airplane, RV or car, boat or cruise and train.  Airplane, RV or car and boat or cruise are currently tied for the survey’s top spot. Family and leisure travel enthusiasts can cast their vote for their preferred mode of transportation at SuiteTrip.com.
