| Overland
Park, KS – August 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Global
Connections, Inc. (GCI), a well-known travel club fulfillment and service
provider, has shared some personal and professional advice with members
of Building Better Moms
(BBM) in Leawood, KS. GCI travel staff has visited the group on a monthly
basis offering do’s and don’ts for family travel and answering the mom’s
travel questions. BBM focuses on connecting moms through learning, growing
and serving together.
According
to Victoria Hoffman, Creative Director of GCI, “Our professional team knows
the ins and outs of numerous travel niches. Moms need good ideas for traveling
with youngsters of all ages, and several of our team are parents themselves.
We’ve been happy to share specific options, many of which our agents have
experienced personally.”
Here
are some ideas to help families travel better and more successfully:
1.
Ease the stress of travel with an all-inclusive experience which caters
to families.
Whether it’s all-inclusive pioneer Club Med or kid-oriented Nickelodeon
resorts by Karisma, the opportunities for relaxation are endless when all
your creature comforts and entertainment options are taken care of.
|
2.
Road Trips are an ideal way to engage children during travel.
Make sure you have plenty of travel games, kids’ snacks, and videos on
hand as you explore the countryside. Remember to stop often as children
(and their parents) get antsy and need to move about at least every two
hours—or even more frequently.
|
3.
Bring along extra time!
Try to keep your itinerary flexible for situations that encourage more
time, or for last minute delays or emergencies. Sticking to a tight schedule
with children can be problematic. Same goes for grown-ups on vacation.
Taking time to “smell the roses” will make your holiday all the more sweet.
|
4.
Little ones manage to get sick at the most inconvenient times. Bring
along easy to swallow medicines and pack a first aid kit for those unexpected
run-ins with nature such as bug bites, or minor accidents like scraped
knees.
|
5.
Look into guided tours designed for families. There is a wealth of
opportunities for specialty family tours for all ages and generations.
Some to explore are Backroads Family Vacations, Adventures by Disney®
and G Adventures.
