Jacky's Story
When I was a kid my family would travel with other families on ski holidays. We would rent a big chalet and all of our families would squeeze in together. Every day was exciting for the kids - some days we skied and other days we went tubing, ice skating, swimming - all the fun stuff kids love to do.
I didn't give it much thought then, but each of our parents would take turns chauffeuring us kids to one activity or another, or staying back when one of us was too tired to keep up. In the evenings when we would be winding down, it was finally our parents' time to have some fun without us, but that usually meant there was a sacrificial parent left behind.
Our family vacations centered on the kids, and the grown-ups' vacation was made up of moments squeezed in between our fun. I want to reinvent how families do the family vacation. I want parents to have just as much fun as the kids without the worry and without guilt. After all, it's your vacation too!
