For family and group vacations, you will need to decide on a location that all members can enjoy. You want to go somewhere fun, new, entertaining, but keep it affordable.

Chapter 1: Booking your Summer Vacation
There might still be individuals and families not convinced about taking family vacations because they find them expensive, time-consuming, and unnecessarily stressful. This doesn’t have to be the case, so to help enlighten you on how taking family vacations can be beneficial, below are some reasons to ponder upon.
Once you’ve all agreed on your destination, it’s time to book your transport and accommodation. Usually your top two choices are car or plane – when you drive yourself, you have the advantage of private transportation throughout your vacation; catching the plane can be more efficient over longer distances. If you are planning to travel by plane, you can monitor available flights and competitive prices on websites such as Kayak.com or AirfareWatchDog.com.
You also have the options of train or bus, although these combine the lengthy travel-time of a car journey with the claustrophobic atmosphere of a plane trip.
Choose accommodation that has all the facilities you require, and is close to the attractions you wish to see during your vacation. Take your time to compare prices and features, as different resorts and motels will offer different packages.
If you are using public transport to travel to your destination, you may also consider renting a car for your vacation. Make sure you specify the number of children, and their ages, when booking the car, so you can travel safely, using the correct car seats for younger children.
Vacations Help Family Members Unwind
Whether you’re working, at school, or taking care of the home full-time, we all have responsibilities and tend to get tired at some point. Becoming overstressed with all these activities can lead to unwanted anxiety or unnecessary conflicts within the family. Taking a vacation for a few days or weeks can allow each member of the family to relax and release all the tension they have been experiencing for the past
