Planning a trip to Italy with kids, grandparents, and multi-generational trips by Keryn Means of Walking On Travels

Planning a trip with grandparents, siblings and all of your crew doesn’t have to be stressful, but it does take good communication and planning.

Set aside a weekend or a few weekends to book flights and accommodations, as well as plan out how you will spend your time.

When in doubt, use a travel agent to plan out the things you just can’t deal with, so you can plan the fun parts of the trip—like where to eat and what attractions to visit.

Above all, remember you are FAMILY and should remain family at the end of the trip.
