Woohoo, you’re heading on vacation! Itinerary is set, bags are packed, boarding passes are printed & you’re off to the airport.
Breathtaking scenery, historic castles, a dramatic coastline and storybook wonder are just a few words that begin to describe a family vacation in Scotland.
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.
As the name implies a "carry on" bag contains the items you'll be carrying with you at all times, whether it's on board an aircraft or onto a cruise ship. Actually even when I take a car road trips, I still pack a carry on bag to keep with me in the back seat for items that I need quick and easy access.
