Good 'Ole Travel Tips!
Busy family schedules and geographic distance sometimes prevent regular gatherings. Thus, “grand travel”, as one aspect of this growing trend is known, provides an opportunity for two generations to get to know each, and the world, a little better. Most families blend their vacations, mostly cruising, as a way to share time together and have vacation.
With a bit of planning on our part, spending time away, with the whole clan can forge their own special bond. This new concept of "grand travel" does not need to include a fancy holiday in a luxury resort or a visit to a trendy theme park. There are other options. Here are a hand full:
Sit by a river or ... hike through the woods. Invite the family to your place and then paint the town. They’ll love getting comfortable in your home and seeing your local sites. See your home town through the fresh eyes of youth.
Share your passions. Do you love to ski, play golf, camp or scuba dive? A trip to indulge in your favorite activity will give them the chance to know a special part of you that everyone may have seemed to forget through the busy school and work months.
Share a bit of your past. (Although the kids may huff and puff a bit!) Are you having a family reunion this summer? Did you grow up inspired by jazz or classical music? Did the ethnic neighborhood of your youth greatly influence the person you are today? Did you have a special travel destination as a child that you can share with YOUR child? Visit a war memorial, take in a concert or music festival or visit the old stomping grounds with the family. Take the opportunity to share your experiences and knowledge with the kids. It will mean more to hear a bit of history from someone who has been there. And, remember, you are part of their history.
Learn a new skill together. You’re never too old to learn a new trick! Kids will be impressed with your sense of adventure and curiosity! Learn to kayak or zipline over alligators or in a jungle; snorkel in a river or ocean, or spot rare birds in nature. Go snow shoeing, ice fishing in Alaska or cross country touring. Find something that’s new to all of you and share the joy of learning together.
Consider a cruise or all-inclusive resort. Total Relaxation! With activities to appeal to every generation, food choices to suit the pickiest eater and itineraries to please the most well-traveled, such an option eliminates the daily decision making that can cause conflict. We can help you with booking from 2 to 500 people! or more! Want to go to a water park as a part of your vacation? Mini-golf? Work out while looking over the ocean? No worries! You can do it all, all in ONE place!
