For a family vacation within or out of the country how many times do you travel with your whole family in a year? We travel once a year. We used to do it twice a year but with our 2 daughters out in college now it became once a year due to their schedule. How about you?

Vacation Time - Vacation
Actually every month once, on a weekend, we go for a trip to my dad's hometown. My whole family goes. Other than this, we go for a long trip, a vacation for 10 days to Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu, where my dad's elder sister was married to and is settled now. She has got a wonderful house in the middle of a very green place. Its a nice environment there. My uncle has constructed the house with a lot of care. They have a small farm too with animals. My best friend, my first cousin also is there doing her higher studies. So we enjoy those 10 days to the max !!

Once every month for 10 days each is good. Sounds like a very peaceful place to be. Keep it up and thanks for your response.

I mostly travel with my family. No matter if it's a (short) trip or longer vacation. Only my eldest still living at home daugher, she is 21, is not always joining us anymore. She is also vistiting her bf in the USA. Which is fine so she can take care of the house, the animals and we don't have a big bankaccount so we all need to make choices what is most important to us where to go. My other daughter (27) does visit us for some days when we are in Hungary the other or rest of the vacations she is spending with her bf. The youngest two (8 and 6 years old) are always with me. It's no big deal to me if they join me or not as long as I am able to go. All my kids live with me or nearby and with the eldest (27) I also do other things once or twice a week.

Please help me in praying, thank you

I travel with my 2 year old daughter and my 4 year old disabled son. We traveled to Colombia's Caribbean coast earlier this year. Last year we traveled to Canada and my daughter had her first birthday there. The year before last I traveled to South Africa with my disabled son and at that time I was pregnant with my daughter. We usually travel overseas once a year and this year we also had a week in Yorkshire in my home country. My disabled son began school in September this year and it means it is more difficult to travel in term time. I have booked a flight in March so it uses the Easter holidays. It means only missing 10 days of term time and so my disabled son's school agreed to this.
