One of the hottest trends in travel right now is the “Skip-Gen” trip, a different take on multi-generational travel. It’s a trip involving grandparents and grandchildren, leaving the parents at home, and alllowing quality time between the older and younger generation, and at the same time giving mom and dad a bit of a break.
As a travel agent, I hear the excuses all the time. “No, thanks, I’ll decline the insurance. There is no way I am cancelling this trip!” Or, “I already have coverage through my medical insurance.” Or, “I’ll roll the dice; I’m young and healthy.” Or, “It’s just too expensive.”
We have all been there. Rushing to finish packing for that trip we've been anticipating for months. The Uber driver is 2 minutes away, the plane leaves in 2 hours. But you can't zip the damn suitcase. Telltale sleeves, socks or even the heel of a shoe are peeking through the suitcase seams, trying to escape. By the time you sit on the luggage, pulling, tucking and cramming, you have worked up a sweat and want to take a nap. Sound familiar? Well, here are some tips to avoid that scenario next time around.
