Travel Tips & Considerations When Traveling with Children or the Elderly
- Plan to be together. Involve all parties in the planning process from youngest to oldest. Once the dates and destination have been decided ask each family member to contribute one item they wish to see or do so that each person is invested in the vacation, and the burden of an enjoyable vacation doesn’t fall on one individual.
- Be flexible. Understand that not every family member will want or be able to participate in every activity. Make a list of alternative activities so those who opt out won’t be left with nothing to do.
- Know your limitations. Consider diet, health, age, and activity restrictions when planning activities. For example, most tours have a minimum age requirement, and elderly family members may find it hard to stand in long lines commonly found at most theme parks.
- Divide and conquer. Don’t expect to spend every waking minute together. Parents may enjoy a dinner out alone while grandparents babysit, a child may enjoy one on one time with a parent, and grandparents may like the day to themselves while adults and children are off exploring.
- Expect the unexpected. Plan ahead for unexpected illnesses, travel delays, lost luggage, inclement weather, or homesickness.
- Trust the experts. The dedicated travel experts at WorldTravelService® can answer all your questions, and provide you with valuable tips and insights to help make the most of your family or multi-generational vacation.
