Whether it be at a beach, in the city, on top of the mountains, on an island retreat, or in another country, the best family vacation is the one that is planned well. This is even more true if you plan on traveling outside of the country.
First off, get a majority vote on location. I think my very first couple of posts went into some detail on how to plan where to go as a family. You should make this fun and all inclusive.
A good tip is to research beforehand on the country you are headed for. This could be made into a family activity. Starting from the research stage, the vacation could already be educational and fun. Split the research into categories such as food, culture, specific places to see, and special activities the family could do together and assign to each of the family members.
Make sure any paperwork is processed early, such as passports, visas, and the like. This will ensure a relatively stress-free time if this stuff is done early on. Check with the airlines to see what you need and also what customs will expect at the port of entry of the country.
For going out of country, there are airline packages specifically geared for families. Some of these are already tied up with hotels. However, there are also choices of kid-friendly hotels and when traveling with toddlers these are the best places to stay in for their specialized amenities. These establishments are geared towards family-fun activities that will help make the best family vacation experience, so do your research and make sure you stay at a family-friendly place.
After all this planning is done sit back, relax. Let things take its course. After all, you are all now ready to enjoy your vacation. That is the most important way to make this the best family vacation for yourself and everyone.
