Choosing kid-friendly destinations: Select places like Rancho Santana with activities for all ages, from laying on the beach, sliding down a volcano, or learning about indigenous and colonial culture.
Get kids involved in the vacation planning process: Give them a say in which attractions to visit, restaurants to eat at, and activities to do — it’ll make the trip much more fun for everyone.
Prepare your tech: Bring books or tablets loaded with movies and shows that can keep kids entertained during long stretches of family travel.
