Interests
South
and Central America
Family travelers interested
in Eco-tourism have enjoyed Costa Rica,
Belize,
Honduras and Venezuela.
Further afield
Australia has a wealth of experiences to offer families that can take
enough time off to make the trip worthwhile.
Backpackers
Backpacking family adventurers have very much enjoyed Europe, South
and Central America, and New Zealand.
Cities
For the big city adventurers, New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco are family favorites. In
Canada, Vancouver,
Ottawa, Toronto and
Montreal also have much to offer.
Time
constraints
During the winter months, in addition to regular airline flights, direct
charter flights are offered from several gateways to some south and central
American destinations as well as a few in Europe. During the summer
months, many more European destinations are offered.
Charter flights generally offer lower
rates, more cramped seating and shorter total flight durations than regular
airlines. Even so, don't expect to arrive at any of these destinations with
anything less than a 6 to 8 hour flight.
Take
your time
Australia and the south seas really need a minimum of 2 weeks, to
justify the long journey times. Most people would find this to be the minimum
amount of time to budget for European destinations too, as there is so
much to see and do in such a small area. A
very rough budget guide
City stays are invariably quite
expensive, especially New York and London. Everything in
Australia will
cost a little more than it would in Canada. Most of the Central and
Southern American destinations can be much more reasonably priced,
though the facilities may be more basic. Please read our various
destination reports and then contact us for more specifics.
We
would like to remind you about the "Destination
Shortcut" menu found at the top of each page. This is a convenient
way to easily navigate to the destinations which we feature. |
