Keeping in touch with family isn't as easy as it used to be. As distances grow between family members, the need to schedule time to get together becomes more difficult. The idea to plan a family reunion will take time, effort and patience. Basically it comes down great planning and good communication.

A family reunion can range from 10 people to hundreds. Families love or celebrate special occasions on-board a cruise ship to connecting generations of family at a land based resort. Big or small, Cadillac travel can handle it all!

When to start? Give yourself at least 6-9 months or more. Most families who take part in family reunions will need the time to schedule time off. Using this kind of time frame allows for added flexibility and better prices.

Where to start? Select a leader that is going to be the main organizer. Communicate your intentions including time frame, possible type of trip and destination options.

Location. One of the biggest decisions is where or exactly how far to travel for a reunion. This is probably the most significant decision because it takes advance planning and a general agreement from all. A family group trip gives you the opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime.

What kind of reunion? From a cruise to a land based resort, there are tons of options. Cruises are great because most everything is included and there is more structure. No disagreements of where to eat or who will pay. Land based trips are great also.

It’s all in the planning. The truth remains that the key to a successful family reunion is planning ahead, in most cases the longer the lead time the better the attendance and the more activities to enjoy.

Remember, Start early, have activities for all, and take lots of pictures.
