If you planned to do 5 two week international trips before you sent your kids off to college, so say from the age of 9 to 18, what 5 trips would you take?
|
Mine are:
1 Peru 2 Thailand 3 London/Italy 4 Japan 5 Australia |
London/Paris
Italy Japan Greece South America to ski |
These are trips I’ve done and think can be great family trips (plan to do them myself when my kids are slightly older):
The UK + Paris East Africa (partial to Tanzania + Zanzibar but so many ways to do it) South America trip (perhaps Peru + Argentina) Central/Eastern Europe (can do a lot of combos here) Japan |
Costa Rica
Paris + other destination (annecy?) National Park(s), not sure which though! Japan Greece or Turkey |
Given Americans are about to be persona non grata better make sure it’s not Europe. |
East Africa ( Kenya and Tanzania)
South Africa/Zambia/Malawi/Botswana Antarctica and Patagonia Australia and New Zealand Japan |
Masai Mara
Macchu Picchu Japan Australia |
Pp- how was Antartica did you cross the Drake Passage? How was that? |
Italy
Thailand Croatia Mexico Egypt |
I would choose based on what the kids themselves might like.
The more kids have hobbies and interests you can engage with, the better it will be for exciting them about travel. |
I’m not the PP, but I had to hang onto the sides of my bed so I wouldn’t fall out when we crossed the rocking and rolling Drake Passage! |
Whoah. This is my list too! For the National Park, I would choose Grand Tetons or the Grand Canyon. |
We did the NatGeo Antarctica Direct-Fly the Drake Passage. Trip of a lifetime. |
Wow, that would be stressful ! Thanks. |
