We have traveled with our children from the time they were babies, carrying all three car seats on the airplane, to now having three teenagers. Traveling with teens brings unique advantages and allows us to reconnect as a family amidst our busy schedules. While we involve our teens in trip planning, sometimes surprises make the experience even more exciting. Cruises and all-inclusive resorts are great options for family vacations, offering something for everyone. Ski trips and train vacations are also thrilling adventures to enjoy together. For graduating seniors, planning a trip to their dream destination can be a memorable gift. Despite their initial desire to stay connected to friends, teens appreciate making new family memories. Cherish these moments as a family and create lasting bonds through travel.

Being a flight attendant for many years, I’ve learned valuable travel tips for comfortable air journeys and efficient packing. Pack less than you think you need and remember to mix and match outfits. Plan ahead for airport transport and familiarize yourself with security rules. Arrive at the airport early and dress for comfort. Be flexible in case of delays or cancellations. These tips will enhance your air travel experience.

Are you an experienced traveler like we are and think you don’t need help? You might think hiring a travel advisor is for those inexperienced travelers. Well, please think again. Something as simple as selecting a cruise can seem overwhelming with the array of choices. There are so many cruise lines, ship types, port options, styles, room categories, and the list goes on and on. Before we were in this industry, we used a travel expert to help us plan a couple of our own cruises. We were able to experience a maiden voyage on a new ship in Northern Europe and secure a cabin upgrade that otherwise we wouldn’t have known how to do. Cruising is a huge industry.
