When I go on vacation, I like to make sure that all details are taken care of (flights, hotels, transfers, sightseeing) yet also want to have some free time to explore whatever I might be interested in doing that day. I know most of my clients als...

Everybody is tired of being cooped up for the last year and a half.  Grandparents are anxious to be able to interact with their grandchildren once again, and the kids’ parents are thinking it might be nice to have a little alone time without the kids underfoot for a week or two.  “Gramping”  -- vacations for kids with their grandparents -- is a popular new trend. How to make it enjoyable for everyone? 


Don't expect everyone to want to do the same things all the time.  Let Grandpa and the toddler have a nap, while the teens enjoy the pool or a bike ride.  Most all-inclusive resorts have programs for teenagers so they can be “off on their own” in a safe environment.  Another benefit of an all-inclusive resort is the many dining options offered so that picky eaters as well as adventurous eaters will be satisfied. 


Research vacation destinations together, so you can decide on a trip that everyone will enjoy.  A Disney vacation is a no-brainer as there are myriad attractions for young and old.  But Disney isn’t the only choice.  Consider Hawaii or Mexico where the weather is consistently good for outdoor activities.  Who doesn’t love a stroll on the beach?  Or try Alaska to experience some adventurous and educational trip options that are fun for all. 


Let me help you find the perfect spot for a vacation with your grandchildren.
