Are you ready for a family adventure this Holiday season? Holiday travel is right around the corner and it’s time to prepare the family.
If your children are young it may be a good idea to start talking up the trip in advance. Letting children know what to expect, and what is expected of them, will go a long way in making the trip less stressful. Including children in the planning stages will make the entire trip more memorable for the entire family.
Air travel can be very stressful at this time of the year. We recommend you check with your airline, as well as airport to review guidelines regarding children and security, as well as what may be brought onto the plane. Preparing ahead of time with plenty of travel games, activities, and more importantly, snacks, will help the time at the airport and during the flight pass more easily.
No matter the means of travel you choose, the destination is what really matters. Renting a hotel will limit your options and cramp your space. Try renting a vacation home or condo during the holiday season. A vacation rental will allow your family the freedom to store groceries, cook and have the space to spread out and relax during your holiday getaway. You’ll have the space to help you keep some of your Christmas traditions from home, such as bake cookies, wrap gifts and play games as a family. Kids will also be able to have a separate room. Many vacation rentals will even allow you to set up a Christmas tree, or may even already have one on display. Check on the Christmas tree guidelines for your rental when you make your reservations.
With a vacation rental, holiday travel can be as much like home or as far different as you like. Fully furnished, vacation rentals allow you to relax in a private environment. Unlike hotels, the location of many vacation rentals gives you more flexibility to experience the true flavor your chosen destination. The best benefit of all may be price. Many vacation rentals are more affordable than a week’s stay at a hotel. In addition to more affordable rates, you will save money on tipping hotel staff and service fees, as well as meals out, since you’ll have the option to cook-in. When you stay in a Vacation Homes for Charity vacation rental you will not only create a wonderful family holiday memory but will make a difference in someone else’s.
Spending the holidays with your family in a vacation rental will add to your holiday travel experience and make for wonderful memories.
Happy Holidays!
