02-Pilansberg_Reserve2I have always said that family travel is the glue to family bonding.  So if you want that glue to be super glue you need to pick a pretty amazing spot to visit.

I am a mom that has taken her kids to Disney more times than I have fingers and toes to count (and I don’t even live in Florida). BUT recently, I have been venturing out. Yes it may take a little (maybe a lot) more planning, but it also brings big results. Sorry I am starting to sound like a business book, but it is true.

Next time you plan a vacation take it off the beaten road. Now that may be very different for many different families. For some venturing past the family neighborhood as a pack may scare the daylights out of you, but for some it may take swimming with whale sharks or a safari in South Africa with Sun International. For your glue to be super glue you need to pick a pretty amazing spot to visit.

I have been dreaming of Southeast Asia lately, but wouldn’t you know they have a lot of spas there.  In case you have not heard I am Spa Travel Gal and believe that spa, travel, and skincare experiences are not a luxury, but essential to a healthy body and mind!

 

This Myanmar resort says “be part of the journey”.  Also, I want to say to not travel for the destination, but the experience. When you decide to go on a vacation think about what type of experience you will gain from it.  Will everyone do things they have done a thousand times before or will they have brain exercising exciting new experiences that the family can bond with not only during but when they later rehash all the family jokes and more.
