Before kids, we took a ski vacation every year or so, and travelled to a smattering of places in the Rockies, from Park City to Lake Louise, and many places in between. We not experts, but we love the mountains, the snow and the adventure.
Perhaps you're looking to gather with your extended family together for a reunion or a celebration vacation to commemorate a milestone for a particular person. Maybe you have a group of friends from college or play group that want to travel together. Congratulations!....you're planning a destination wedding with kids. Your kid's sport team is a great collection of kids and parents that enjoy spending time together and want to do more of it. In the family travel biz we call any and all of these situations a multi-generation group vacation. These types of vacations are becoming ever more popular. 80 percent of vacationers took at least one trip with extended family and/ or friends during the past five years.
Let's start by saying there are no wrong answers here when it comes to planning your next family vacation.
Imagine the perfect powder filled ski holiday complete with storybook villages, breathtaking views and iconic alp peaks like Mont Blanc or the Matterhorn. Many families think this dream is beyond their reach. Some parents may think this kind of ski vacation would be fun, but what about the kids? Travel agents know the adventure that awaits and just how affordable this type of adventure can be.
Every vacation is important but some travel experiences need extra protection. In some situations, travel insurance becomes absolutely important to protect both your investment and peace of mind. Travel insurance costs vary due to many factors like age, your destination, amount of risk, time of booking etc. Generally is costs less than 10% of the total cost of your trip.
Melanie was one of my fellow tour members on my recent trip of a lifetime with Gadventures to the Galapagos. In real life, she's a doctor from San Francisco. Melanie was technically a MIA for the first two days of our adventure.
Do you find yourself "lost at sea" trying to compare prices on a cruise vacation for your family?
