[quote=Anonymous]I used to take super long trip with my parents when I was growing up. I never needed a "playdate", we were usually too busy sightseeing. However, occasionally there would be an opportunity for spontaneous peer interaction (I'd go for a swim in the hotel pool and another kid would be there too) and those were enjoyable. If there are pools, arcades, parks, etc., around where he might find some kids he wants to hang around with, that's fine. Having something arranged, however, creates an obligation that is at best awkward and embarrassing, and if the kids don't click or turn out to be jerks is liable to be miserable. Some kids are more social than others. Why don't you ask your child if they want you to make arrangements to hang out with other kids? A tween is old enough to decide if they'd rather entertain themselves or spend time socializing with strangers.[/quote]
