I havent had to plan a family trip with kids yet. I only know of family trips with me being the kid. I didnt realize there was a lot of planning that goes into it! My mother has taken me on a cruise and my dad through different ski resorts. Both to different cities and countries and always around my school break. Merry Mitchael McAllister
