hen grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, and the grandchil- We look forward to helping you and your family when you
dren take a trip together, it builds family unity and allows lasting memories to be created. More and more, grandpar- ents are realizing it’s more important to leave memories than to leave money as they ask, “Will my grandkids remember me?” I know in my family my older grandchildren still bring up memories of vacations we have taken with them. I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything!
When planning a multigenerational vacation, the question is, how do we keep everyone happy? Will there be enough for everyone to do since the interests are so diverse? A really easy way to keep everyone happy is to decide on a vacation that has something to please everyone. For us, a cruise was a perfect solution. It literally had something for everyone to do whether on the ship and on the shore. Most grandparents and parents agree that nothing makes them happier than seeing the children happy and having a good time.
It’s important to select a ship that is family-oriented, be- cause there is so much to do on board...a climbing wall, fabulous workout and spa areas, educational classes, kids camp, ice skating, car racing. Some of the newer ships even fabulous waterparks that pulls everyone together.
If cruising isn’t for you there are so many other vacations to choose from. How about a Guided Vacation to Europe or a beach vacation or even Mickey Mouse. Learn about past cultures with a visit to one of the Mayan ruins in Mexico or an ancient temple in Greece. Experience nature by visiting a turtle farm in the Cayman Islands or a musher camp in Alaska. Spend a day on a lovely beach just having sun and fun. Take an island tour and visit a plantation. Go river rafting, or some shopping. There is something for everyone.
are ready to make family plans. Do keep in mind that it is important to plan ahead when you are taking vacations that are scheduled around the school year, as it’s a popular time to travel. Give Travel Journeys a call at 303-663-0238 or email Joy@Travel-Journeys.com and start your memories today!
