Planning a holiday for yourself can be a painstaking process in on its own, much less planning one for your whole family. With the toils of accommodation, keeping the family together, well-fed and happy all while maintaining the travel arrangements agreeable and affordable for the wife and children can and will only add to the ardors of planning a family vacation.

Planning your holiday early can rid you of all of these toils. So, let’s break it down.

Knowing what you intend to do while on vacation is vital in planning a successful family vacation. Family and togetherness is really the bottom line when spending time abroad, so family friendly activities are a must, as they facilitate family bonding. With meal times and gatherings being the only time set aside for family togetherness, there is nothing like an exotic location with a variety of family friendly activities to help set a tone for new experiences, spent together.

As painstaking as the process of vacation planning may be, having a little foresight when it comes to understanding why that family vacation is needed in the first place, is also rudimentary. Think ahead and live a little is the prerogative here.

Simply knowing that there is light at the end of this tunnel should offer you enough peace of mind to take that next step. Plan your holiday ahead for better results in a stress free holiday.

Another thing to consider is let loose a little, forget the rules and let your hair down. You kids don’t need a set bed time and you sure as hell do not need to be thinking of returning to civilization where responsibilities, jobs and chores govern your lives. Really, for that stress free holiday, let the stress seep out of your system.

On a final note, think how far technology has come in the last 30 odd years. It is now easier than ever to book your flights and accommodation, all with the touch of a few buttons on your mobile phone. And, once at your chosen destination think of how much easier your mobile can make your stay a stress free and relieving holiday.

Taking photographs have never been easier, committing them to memory, and posting on instagram to share with your family and friends is always a plus. And, as is said, staying in touch is also something you may require while on holiday. Sending e mails and postcards to your relatives back home, updating them and keeping them in the loop on things is also something that could have been lost to yesteryear, but not with the right apps and proper use of your mobile. Happy Travels!
