You can work when and where you want. You can “make millions form a hammock on the beach.” That sounds really cool.

For many that mean giving up on vacations altogether, and this is what I have been doing for awhile. After a couple years of this, however, I am starting to face a mutiny from my family. They are sick of spending their vacations at home every season, claiming that I am ignoring one of the greatest benefits of my job as a freelancer - the flexibility to work wherever the heck I choose. I decided to take this as a challenge to research the very best places I can take my family on a vacation which will also have the facilities I really need to get my work done, keep the kids busy, and have nearby fun for the many breaks I will take to make it a fun vacation for everyone (including me). In my research I have found the following vacation resorts and destinations that look like they will provide the best chance to make us all happy while I manage to keep my business afloat. (1) Meadowmere Resort in Maine The first location that seems like it will meet my needs is the Meadowmere Resort in Maine (www.meadowmere.com). They have a number of different room sizes, including a Family Suite, with a tv in a separate room. This would let me isolate myself a bit or at least send the kids to the other room if the TV is becoming too distracting. This resort also has a free business center, and a library area; two places I will likely find it comfortable and peaceful to work. The kicker though is the free wireless network throughout much of the resort, including the suite. They have a dataport in the room as well if you want to be directly connected. ut being able to move around the suite freely, without getting tangled in cable, is a nice plus. Meadownmere Resort’s rates are very attractive in their off season there is a nearby Summer Theater’s Children’s Camp. This half day program for young kids (full day for older kids) could provide some excellent time to relax with my wife on some days or get focused work done so I can spend quality family time later in the day when they get back. The camp then has the kids do a show at the end of the week which could provide some really fun memories. (2) Valero Beach Resort If you are looking to travel out of the country, one real up and coming travel destination is the Dominican Republic. This is a destination that has been popular for some time with travelers from other areas of the world, but is just starting to catch on more with North Americans. One resort I was researching that seems like a nice place for working travel is the Valero Beach Resort (http://www.velerobeach.com/). At first this resort seemed adequate, but not wonderful. It does have a free business center and it has DSL in many rooms. It also has a selection of suites available which like I wrote before I like because you can make your own little office away from people running around. The rates are also reasonable. The thing that I liked the most however was something I learned from the site Geek About (http://www.geekabout.com/2007-01-18-78/top-10-beaches-with-wifi-internet%20-access.html) In one of the comments, someone mentioned that Kite beach in Cabarete has wireless internet access on the beach. Well, Velero resort is also in Cabarete, and lounging on the beach with my laptop seems like a lot of fun. I’d be a little worried about sand, salt and theft but it might be worth the risk. If you want to learn more about travel experiences in the Dominican Republic, I found a nice personal experience article by some Canadian travelers at http://www.debbiesdominicantravel.com/expect.html (3) Mountain Home Lodge in Washington I’ve been concentrating on family travel, since that is what I would need, but did see an excellent location for just you and your significant other. Mountain Home Lodge in Washington (http://www.mthome.com/). The resort has rooms and suites in the main building, but also has beautiful individual mountain cabins and yes, all the cabins have wireless access too. The resort is very isolated, especially in the winter when travelers are often brought up on snow mobiles. This isolation, the private cabins and the wireless internet in the rooms I think combine into a very nice working travel spot. Below You will Find 150 More Family Resorts That Are Great For Freelancers & Self-Employed Parents Who Want to Vacation with Their Kids But Still Get Some Work Done. Most of These All-Inclusive Family Resorts Have Kids Clubs in Which Your Child can enjoy supervised and fun activities while you and your spouse can have fun or get work done. Take a look below and enjoy! Have you traveled to a resort or other vacation spot that was particularly good for working and having fun with the family?
