So check this out: You’re thinking hot, sexy getaway with your other half. But what to do with the kid(s)? (We love ours as much as you do yours, but sometimes you just need a little adult time. Plus, shots and late-night dancing at Skybar don’t really mix with toddlers.) Shipping them off to the grandparents is always an option. But what about shipping them all off together? There’s even a company that will do it for you!
Grandtravel provides an opportunity for family bonding via luxury vacations for grandparents and grandchildren that include experiences ranging from adventure ("mushing" across an Alaskan glacier pulled by Alaskan huskies and seeing the world’s largest chocolate waterfall) to refined (attending theatre productions in London and dining atop the Eiffel Tower).
The fuss-free, grandparent-friendly packages include deluxe or best available accommodations with private bath, most meals, transportation, admission to all scheduled attractions and events, en route activities for children, pre-departure guidance, the services of a professional tour manager, a Grandtravel Activity Director (always an experienced educator or youth counselor), and service charges and hotel taxes. Tour managers manage the on-tour logistics so that grandparents and grandchildren can relax and enjoy their experience.
And so that parents can enjoy theirs too :)
