Happy New Year everyone!!
What a great time of year to reflect and to make new exciting plans for the coming days, weeks, and months.
You may have already considered some resolutions (we’re a bit late this year but hope to write a few down this weekend) but we’d also like to offer some potential family travel-related resolutions.
“Monthly” resolutions can help keep you focused; even if you “skip” a resolution or two you don’t have to quit the whole year.
Here are twelve 1-month resolutions, in no particular order, that might get you and your family closer to that great trip together. Add and remove as you like. Most are doable in just a few hours so set sometime aside on your calendar and/or even assign different members of the family certain months to keep you focused!
talk soon,
Dan & Betsy
