No sooner had we got back from the Easter break (booked in September 2024!) and I was booking the summer holiday (to take advantage of credit card billing cycles to book and only have to pay after Urlaubsgeld hits the account), and now am currently working out how to get a break in October during the school holidays.
Family holidays are all about compromises - usually we stay in the region we want, but maybe not in the most touristy town/city - to get more bang for our euros. Beaches for the children, geocaches for me, rest for my wife. And hopefully new experiences that make the children ask "where can we go next?" rather than not wanting to go on holiday.
Yes, Michael, I think all holidays are about compromise, apart from those you do on your own if that's an option/something you like. As someone who loved backpacking it took me a while to get used to this with friends, partners and now family 😊 You sound like you are well-organised - good for you.
And, yes - getting and keeping the children excited about family holidays is so important. We're making memories with them 😎
