Adventure plan with family.

"How to Plan a Family Adventure Vacation None of You Will Ever Forget A world-class travel consultant with over 35 years of experience creating family itineraries steps in."

Memories that will be revisited around the family  table for years to come. It has long been studied and reported that travel souvenirs last much longer than material goods. As Founder and CEO of Austin Adventures, I love encouraging families and helping them make the most of their travel opportunities.

Start by brainstorming :

Get everyone involved! Make the planning part of the overall process and part of the fun. At our house we usually start with a pizza party where we bake some pizzas and brainstorm ideas. Make sure everyone has something to say.Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? What type of accommodation do you like? What is important to you?This first phase is all about free association, not rules!  I always like to have some travel brochures nearby and maybe some maps to get the thought process started. Take what you learn and start adding it to an archive that may come in handy when you hit the trails. This is a good time to teach kids how to read a map (a lost art in the age of Google Maps).Do some homework. You can set limits by asking yourself these other important initial questions: What does our vacation budget look like? Who will we invite? When can we travel?

Second round :

Gather around the table again, a table that will now be covered with maps, pictures, pamphlets and notes. The goal here is to create a realistic pick list. Finding consensus can be easier than you think. Try to find common themes: Many of you have chosen tropical locations? Mountainous terrain?Safari adventure? Big, busy cities with a lot of history? If you struggle to find common ground, have fun letting others "sell" you of their choice. Remember, planning is part of the fun. and build anticipation.

When searching for the best vacation spot, keep in mind the boundaries you set when breaking down your travel priorities. The availability of travelers may determine what time of year you will travel. A budget can help you decide if you are ready to travel or fly the world and  how long your vacation might typically be. You also need to know who  will be traveling with you as this can narrow down the type of holiday you choose (cruise,Outdoor adventure, leisure, road trip, etc. You should already have a pretty good idea  of ​​what kind of adventure you are ready to go for.

Choose your partner :

So you've landed on a place, type or style of adventure, time and budget. Now it's time to look for a tour operator! Your partner is just as important as your fellow travelers, if not more so. They will have confidence to achieve the dreams they have been thinking about for so long. I strongly encourage you to take this part of the process seriously and carefully.Keep adding this file. Remember that Google is your friend.

Prepare a list of 6-10 questions  and call some tour operators (you can also get help from a travel agent here) or service providers. Pay close attention to small details, from responsiveness to your call or email, knowledge of the customer service contact, ability to answer your questions, etc. 

Take lots of notes as it can get confusing. In this phase it becomes clear who you want to work with and who suits you. Build on that relationship.

Use the talents of a tour operator :

Choose the program that is right  for you and yours. 

● Simplify important planning.

● Put your safety first. 

● Make sure you can enjoy a stress-free, family-focused time with little decision-making.
