The biggest mistake you can make when planning a family vacation
is not involving the entire family. You probably think that when
it comes to vacations, parents know best. But you might be surprised
to realize that children, even young ones, can provide valuable
input. Children are as exposed to advertising as the rest of us
and they have their own ideas about what the family vacation should
entail, so listen to them.
There's no right formula for a successful family vacation. In fact,
one size does not fit all when it comes to spending quality time
with your family. Your family vacation doesn't have to be two weeks
long, or
taken during summer months, or spent at the more popular tourist
destinations. Busy working parents can't always coordinate this
amount of time away from work, and believe it or not, children often
get bored when traveling this long.
Thinking ?outside the box? when planning your family vacation can
lead to some interesting and memorable times. Instead of one long
vacation, break your time off up into smaller chunks and plan multiple
vacations throughout the year. Traveling off-season means lower
prices, less crowds and a different perspective on the destination.
For example, Florida is a great place to visit during October,
and it wouldn't be difficult to add a day or two onto the 3-day
Columbus Day week-end. If you don't want to miss school, plan a
family vacation to Colorado during the summer months instead of
during the height of ski season. Or, spend spring break exploring
local attractions and other areas of interest right in your own
state.
Next time you're planning a family vacation, let you children voice
their opinions and allow them to research the ideas they present.
The Internet makes this easy, and you'll all have a better time
as a result.

Credit Cards
Why bring travel credit cards instead of traveler's checks? Convenience,
safety and savings. The first time I had to exchange $200 of travelers
checks overseas, the bank charged me $8. Later, during the same
trip, I used my debit card at an ATM to get $200 from my checking
account. The charge was one dollar, and that was the last time
I used traveler's checks. read
