Family holidays

Posted Thursday, September 18, 2008, 7:08 PM by Lonely Planet

What's the age limit for travelling with your parents? I'd say there isn't one. I've been travelling with mine for 26 years. We've visited more than 100 places in 24 countries and our experiences have been wide ranging: we've shopped in Paris, road tripped through 15 states of the USA and volunteered for one month at a primary school in Cusco with Peru's Challenge - collectively our most incredible travelling experience. Next of the list: Hong Kong, quickly followed by Brazil.

These trips have firmly planted the travel bug in us all, and my brother, two sisters and I travel as much independently as we do all together. But it's the family trips I like best.

There's never an age limit for me. I plan to travel with my parents forever. It's a good excuse to be together, and we have fun. Not to mention, they often pay for it:)

Good question. I don't think there is an age limit per se...however, there is def a compatibility question...mine have come to Angola, Botswana, Zambia, Zim, Egypt, and South. Good times indeed

you are right, travelling with your folks is always good fun and bonds the family together. When our folks get old we should cheer them up by taking short trips with them, now and then.

No. There is no age limit for me. Even though my parents can drive me crazy, it's still fun to travel with them.

Do you encounter any difficulties traveling with children age below 3 years old? Especially if you are going at a long journey. Please share.
