MEXICO CITY
Mexico City is truly one for the memory books. The rich history, award winning food scene and the tourist-loving people, makes this one of the most exciting travel destinations in North America.
Imagine taking the family in a hot air balloon over the Teotihuacan pyramids, taking a boat ride down Xochimilco, and exploring the home of Frida Kahlo.
If you’re wondering where to stay in Mexico City, we recommend families consider Four Seasons Mexico City.
ALASKAN CRUISE
Alaskan cruises are in a class of their own. People tend to avoid cruises for many reasons but hear me out about this one. The ships are smaller and there are less people. The stops in each port are longer so you get more time to know each place. But most importantly, the unique excursions make Alaskan cruises a 10/10 for families.
Imagine the memories you’ll make on a sled dog ride, whale watching, helicopter flightseeing, or a glacier trek.
Don’t believe me? This is what our client had to say about their family trip to Alaska:
"She nailed down the perfect cabins for our family, helped us book excursions, and also entertainment while on the cruise, and explained the nuances of cruising to help us newbies through the process. In the end, we felt like we had the best experience and that is definitely because of Jasmine's careful planning. We'll be back to plan our next trip with The Connect Travel soon!”
WINTER GETAWAY
As a midwesterner, we typically think of warmer destinations for the winter holidays, but we encourage you to think differently. Flight prices are lower, you’ll come across less tourists and the unique experiences only offered in the winter makes Europe an obvious destination for families.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
