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.
