5 Vacation Destinations the Whole Family Can Enjoy

Travelling with the whole family presents its own set of challenges. For example, booking flights. This is the first and foremost important thing to consider while traveling in a group and especially with the entire family. Now, you may have already finalized your destination, but bulk-booking of tickets is becoming an exceedingly difficult prospect. Additionally, if you choose a commercial airline to fly with, then you need to factor in the long waiting period at the airport owing to flight delays. And we haven’t even touched upon how difficult (and annoying) security clearance can be with kids around. Thankfully, all these problems could be sorted out if you decide to choose a private jet charter service.

How, you ask? It’s simple, really! While traveling by private jet, you can choose your own schedule. This means that you do not have to arrive at the airport two hours before the flight. Additionally, private jets do not require you to suffer a long line of security checks. Moreover, once you have boarded the plane, you can have all the privacy and ‘me time’ with your family that would otherwise be a pipe dream with commercial flights.

Also, depending on the age of your children, you’ll need to take their needs into account when you book your accommodations, not to mention activities to keep them intellectually engaged – otherwise, they’ll drive you crazy. In many ways, it is easier to take longer trips once the kids are older. I have seen families spend entire summers abroad with children ages 8 and 9, although those children were incredibly well-behaved and fully aware of how exciting it was to travel.

You may also have to decide on activities at various destinations based on everyone’s interests and age groups. If your children are old and play sports like basketball for their high school, you can take them to see a game of their favorite basketball teams like the Chicago Bulls or Los Angeles Lakers. You may look for tickets on NBA official website or alternative selling platforms such as TickPick, where you might get passes at cheap rates or at discounts.

While travelling with small kids, having a nanny on board would be amazing, but it’s not in everyone’s budget – certainly not mine! This is another reason that it might be easier to travel once the kids are older. However, when you have the desire and the opportunity to see the world, you take it.

Ideally, if you’re planning an extended stay in a fixed location, you could rent a house or apartment intended for longer-term tenants. With today’s advanced technology, your hunt for lodging should be fairly painless. Platforms such as Zeus Living (https://zeusliving.com) can help you find long-term rentals in some of the larger U.S. markets. You’ll have to research the best ways to find rentals in the geographic location you’re planning to spend time in.

Here are five vacation destinations that would be fun for the whole family.

New York – If your children have seen Home Alone 2, they’ll really be on board – especially if you’re visiting around the winter holidays! But New York has so much to offer, from museums, of which there are a bajillion, to the Empire State Building, Central Park and more. And it goes without saying that the adults are going to have limitless fun.

London – If your children read books, they’re probably thrilled to go to London. Think of all the famous authors from the city, and all the books set in that city. London will be much like New York, in that there are just oodles of museums for the little ones, and lots of places the adults can enjoy, too.

San Diego – Provided you time your visit right – and it’s not hard, because only a few months out of the year in San Diego are gloomy – you’ll be gifting fun in the sun for the whole family if you plan your trip to this city. Both the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park are among the most famous destinations of their kind in the entire world. Additionally, there are miles and beaches and acres of parks, plus museums and all the other amenities you’d expect from a big city.

The Amalfi Coast – Italy has been cool since time began – or at least since the 1960s. The Amalfi Coast is exceptionally scenic and beautiful, with its dramatic coastline and terraced lemon groves, winding roads cut into the sides of cliffs, and the backdrop of Pompei and Mount Vesuvius. Local artisans make handmade goods, like Italian leather shoes that could shod your whole family. Chances are, this locale is unlike any place your family has ever been.

The French Countryside – The south of France is a treat for the whole family. Choose a location in a small village and experience a vastly different culture and way of life from what you’re used to back home. Slow down and enjoy quality family time. Maybe it’s the last trip before your children go off to college, or their first time overseas – or both! There’s nothing quite like sampling freshly baked baguette, local cheeses, and artisanal desserts. And don’t forget to at least pay a visit to Nice and enjoy the beautiful beaches.

In closing, remember that vacations like these will be memorable for the whole family. Take lots of pictures and videos, and you’ll be able to look back for years to come.
