Tips For An Immidiate Family Reunion

Plan multiple mini-vacations throughout the year. This reduces the stress level of planning the be-all, end-all trip.

No need to look beyond city limits. Planning a vacation close to home is a great way to save money and get away from it all without getting very far away at all.

Involve your kids in your planning. Consider what special family things they would like to do together, or where they’d like to explore during the family retreat.

Making memories. Find out what family members want to remember and experience the most from the family weekend.

“No Batteries Required.” While no one likes rules, facilitate togetherness by making plans for group activities – swimming, biking, painting and massages. And dedicate to the activities 100 percent – no TV, cell phones or e-mail!

Making Plans. Ease the search for finding the right hotel for your family needs – pet friendly, onsite restaurants, gym, spa/salon – using the helpful search and comparison tools of hotels.com.

Scheduling personal time. While it’s a family weekend, spending 24-hours a day with the family can be daunting, so make sure to schedule time for individuals.
