These vacation planning tips will save you time, money, and headaches while researching, securing, and paying for summer vacation ideas.

I remember our summer vacations growing up, living in southwest Virginia. My mom, dad, brother, and I would go to Virginia Beach every year and the trip was so fun… even without technology.

My brother and I would lay in the hatchback of our station wagon reading books, playing card games, and playing travel board games.

That 4-1/2 hour drive never seemed like it took that long because we would listen to music on the car’s stereo, eat snacks, watch traffic and road signs, and otherwise keep ourselves occupied.

Nowadays we have to worry about wifi access, setting screen time limitations, and protecting devices. I have a 15-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter. They’re usually listening to music (on their own devices with earbuds), watching shows downloaded on Netflix, or playing games (on their devices).

What a stark contrast!

As the end of the school year nears many parents are looking at calendars and summer plans trying to schedule a family vacation.

You’ll need to consider work schedules, school schedules, your budget, and begin researching for an affordable and fun family destination.

This list of vacation planning tips will help to organize your ideas.
