Nowadays, we're all bombarded with "things". Material possessions, totally dispensable, that keep us engaged for a matter of days, or even weeks, before we're on to the next best "thing". But spending quality time with our family and friends, creating and nurturing these experiences - at the end of the day, that's really all we take away. As we get older, life becomes a string of memories. It's no
t what we have, but what we do that makes a difference. What's more rewarding than watching your son paddleboard for the first time, standing up and overcoming that fear, and you see the thrill in his eyes when he finally "gets" it? What's sweeter than walking along the pier and having your toddler squeal with delight as she spots her first dolphin jumping into the ocean? Whether hiking in Hudson Valley, or touring the ruins in Rome, it's these moments that we as adults, can share with our children, and together look back on with fondness. Of course it's difficult and expensive to get away, even for a day. More often than not, we come home after a family trip, needing a vacation from our vacation! That's why it's so important that when vacationing, especially as a family, we strike the right balance between spending quality time with the kids, but also carving out quality time for yourselves. Through Capodanno Travel, I'll provide tips and deals and Travel Agent services to create the best possible experience for both you AND your children. I can offer recommendations or book the entire vacation - all you need to do is pack! I'll make sure you enjoy the best of both worlds and that those precious days and dollars are well spent. And while I specialize in family travel, I work with an amazing group of travel agents who specialize in everything else. Just reach out and we'll help. Visit the local botanical gardens where your kids can ride their bikes and chase butterflies. Or stay a week spelunking in the Catskills. There's nothing too big or too small that you and they won't remember. And when that happens, when you have that eureka moment and smile despite yourself, you'll agree it was totally worth it. Happy Travels!
