SOMETIMES THE HOTEL IS THE DESTINATION. WHY FLY TO LUXURIATE IN CANCUN WHEN YOU
CAN DRIVE TO REVEL BY A FIRE, SWEAT IN A SPA, AND ENTERTAIN THE KIDS WITH WINTRY
ACTIVITIES? YOU’LL FIND GREAT FOOD, AMPLE ACTIVITIES, COMFORTABLE ROOMS, AND A
HOT TUB AND FIREPLACE ALL IN WALKING DISTANCE FROM YOUR ROOM, AND A DRIVE FROM
HOME. FOR ONCE, THE LESS LOGISTICALLY CHALLENGING TRIP IS THE HIGHER-QUALITY
VACATION. CLEARLY, A WINTER RESORT IS THE PLACE TO BE RIGHT NOW. THE ONLY
QUESTION REMAINS: WHERE TO GO? WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED.

TIPS AND TRICKS
WANT ROAD TRIP SUCCESS? DO SOME ‘TRAINING MISSIONS’ BEFOREHAND.
“I LEARNED THIS THE HARD WAY, AS WE WERE FORCED TO TAKE OUR FIRST 3 HOUR PLUS
TRIP WITH OUR KIDS — TWO AND FOUR — BEFORE WE’D REALLY TAKEN A TRIP LONGER THAN
45 MINUTES,” CHARLES, A 41 YEAR FATHER FROM NORTH CAROLINA TOLD US. THE
EXPERIENCE WAS A NIGHTMARE. MULTIPLE MELTDOWNS AND SOME VERY GRUMPY PARENTS.
BEFORE THEIR NEXT TRIP, CHARLES TOOK A MORE PRACTICAL APPROACH AND REALLY
PLOTTED THINGS OUT WITH ‘TRAINING MISSIONS.’ “WE TOOK GRADUALLY LONGER DRIVES ON
THE WEEKEND. WE LEARNED WHAT GAMES AND PODCASTS HELD THEIR ATTENTION FOR A
WHILE. WE LEARNED, IMPORTANTLY, HOW LONG THEY CAN ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES — OUR
YOUNGER ONE IS MUCH BETTER AT THAT THAN OUR OLDER ONE. AND WE THOUGHT THROUGH
WHAT SNACKS THEY LIKE.” IT WORKED, AND LONGER CAR RIDES WERE FAR LESS STRESSFUL.

TIPS AND TRICKS
ALWAYS EXPLAIN YOUR “NO’S”
THIS IS GOOD TO REMEMBER IN GENERAL. BUT WHEN ONE PARENT IS A CLEAR FAVORITE, A
COMMON ISSUE THAT ARISES IS THAT THE NON-FAVORITE PARENT DOESN’T EXPLAIN THEIR
REASONS FOR SAYING “NO” TO KIDS. WHENEVER YOU CAN, TRY TO EXPLAIN THE THOUGHT
BEHIND YOUR ANSWERS TO YOUR CHILDREN IN A CALM TONE AND SIMPLE, CLEAR LANGUAGE.
THIS MAKES YOU LESS OF A DICTATOR AND LETS KIDS BETTER UNDERSTAND YOUR
REASONING, HELPING TO LOWER ANY CONFUSION IN THE PROCESS.
