Family Vacations - A thing of the past?

I think that you are right, the true family vacation (or what I think, as one). Many families still travel together, but it seems the entertainment comes from outside the family unit. Like a trip to Disneyland! The family vacations, that I remember most, was family, going to a remote area, and the entertainment came from within the family unit. Building the campfires, erecting the tent, gathering wild berries, fishing, games around the campfire. Is this what you are thinking?

For my family they definately are no more. When I was little, my parents always took us somewhere for fun and bonding. Ever since my parents got divorced when I was 11, money became a huge issue and no one wanted to "bond" anymore. :/

it was not until recently./ last year we had family vacation. this yr also it was scheduled this week. we had to cancel it for my dad's health condition. Family holiday is one thing that is really nice. hope to get one soon.

I am familiar with this issue, it is true that once you have realized that you are an adult and you are on your own, the family goes to the background sort of thing in your life. But it is fine with me, because it is anyways impossible to be all the time in the same circle of individuals - it in some sense narrows your knowledge of the world if you are young and bold and full of energy.
