What the doctor ordered: Tips on determining the right activity level for your vacation

One of the best things about making vacation plans through a travel agent or a travel club is that in most cases, the items that appear on the activities menu are graded by activity level. If you're planning a vacation and you're concerned that you might overextend yourself or put your health in jeopardy by attempting to tackle something you're not fit enough for, first have a talk with your doctor. Though he or she will give you an accurate assessment of what they think you're physically capable of, never ignore that little voice in the back of your head.
