When I was a kid, family travel meant four kids crammed in the back seat of a sedan poking and elbowing one another while counting the miles between rest stops.
Things have changed dramatically since then. But even with onboard DVDs, spacious minivans, air travel, cruises, and theme parks, family vacations can be either delightful or disastrous. It all depends on the care you devote to research and planning.
Time And Money
When it comes to family vacations, quality is more important than quantity. Instead of trying to stretch your available cash over the time you can be away, first consider the money you have to spend. Divide the money by a reasonable daily budget to determine how many days you can be gone.Involve The Kids
Talk about how much you have to spend, then show the kids what it costs to eat in a restaurant, spend the night in a hotel, or buy tickets for an amusement park.
