Operation: Vacation

Do you know someone who missed his or her chance to travel the world? Who, because of choices or circumstances, missed their window? Or maybe you know someone that really deserves a break, perhaps a dream vacation? One of those people that always puts others first and never takes the time to do something for him or herself. We all know of these selfless people; they've done so much good for everyone else, given up so much or given over their lives to others, and now they deserve a chance to escape and finally see some of the world. Here's your chance to give them that - this is Operation Vacation. Join Claire Newell and Karl Schmid as they meet families and friends with one wish - to surprise someone they love and admire with a fabulous vacation of a lifetime. This show isn't just about the trip, its about people having the chance to tell others just how important they are and just how much they mean to those around them. Operation Vacation is a truly heartwarming and enriching experience, not just for those that take part but for the viewer too. It's a roller-coaster journey of emotion that with each episode shows you the ups and downs of the life of one very special person.
