Family Vacations
Below are some of the great destinations you can choose for your
family vacation.
Costa Rica With Kids … the Easy Way
Costa Rica is teeming with wildlife, but families may miss much
of it without a naturalist guide. Animals do not appear on cue like
characters at Disney World, and children’s attention spans
and patience can quickly vanish when wildlife is not spotted promptly.
Highly experienced guides know where to look for nature in this
jungle paradise, and can point it out even when it is camouflaged
by water or lush foliage.
Sanibel/Captiva Family Vacation Guide
The shell-strewn beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Islands attract
thousands of families each year. Every day, from dawn to dusk (and
during the night if that's when low tide arrives), you'll see hundreds
of people walking the beaches in the "Sanibel Stoop",
heads and shoulders bent ... eyes totally focused.
Boston Family Vacation Guide
Boston is a super family destination for any season. There is so
much to do here for those with every imaginable interest. In fact,
this abundance of activities and sights can often be overwhelming.
Miami Family Vacation Guide
Greater Miami and the beaches has something for everyone under the
sun. This area of Florida offers visitors the cutting edge of urban
chic -- combined with the beauty and splendor of a tropical paradise.
The average yearly temperature is a mild 76 degrees.
Tahiti by Freighter: A Family Travel Adventure
Finding the perfect destination for a family vacation can be tough,
especially for parents who are looking for something new and different
in their next travel experience. If adventure travel and remote
South Seas islands appeal to your family of explorers, a freighter
cruise to the remote Marquesas and Tuomotu islands may be just the
ticket your family is seeking .
Edgewater Beach Resort and Panama City’s Gulf Coast
Transformation
Panama City Beach on Florida’s northwest Gulf coast
is transforming itself slowly from its honky-tonk past to attract
a more expansive group of people to its famous sugar-white sand
and emerald green water. It’s not done reinventing itself,
and hopefully it never will lose some of its real, homegrown American
feel. But newer properties such as the Edgewater Beach Resort in
St. Andrews Bay are part of its transition efforts to attract families
on a budget who are not willing to accept low-rent digs.
Great Family Vacations: Caribbean Adventures on St. Vincent
and the Grenadines
For centuries sailors have headed toward St. Vincent and its sister
islands, the Grenadines, a 45-mile archipelago lying between Grenada
and St. Lucia. Legend has it that the buccaneers of long ago buried
their booty in the lush hills and rock strewn caves; savvy yachtsmen
still seek treasured sanctuary in these islands' sequestered coves.
Club Med Punta Cana: An All-Inclusive for the Active Family
Club Med is famous for its family-friendly ambience, international
flavor, and amazing array of all-inclusive family oriented activities.
And Club Med Punta Cana, located on the eastern tip of the Dominican
Republic, is one of the company’s best resorts for active
families. With direct flights to Punta Cana now available from many
major gateway cities, it’s easier than ever to travel there.
And once you and your family land, the resort is just ten minutes
from the airport.
New York City: A Magical Destination for Winter Family
Travel
Even before the first snowflakes fall, New York City transforms
into a winter wonderland perfect for creating family memories. Skaters
execute figure-eights under a magnificent tree, the Rockettes kick
up their heels, Sugar Plum Fairies travel effortlessly across the
stage at Lincoln Center, enchanting store windows draw children
and family members, and traditional holiday lights, music, and decorations
spread their annual joy. All this begins as Santa travels to town
on the last float of the legendary family favorite -- the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
