Family and Friends

2/25/2012

This year’s calendar is already filling up with plenty of travel plans. And as usual, many of them involve travel with family and friends. I have an upcoming trip planned with my parents, one with my daughter, one to visit a brand new baby niece, a girlfriend weekend, and a romantic getaway with my husband.  This year I also hope to fit in a cruise with my sister, a summer visit with a teenage nephew, and a long-overdue trip with a friend I have known since elementary school. I love the opportunity to travel with each of my family members and friends. Every trip brings such varied experiences based on the company of travelers. The entire trip is unique because of the person or people who join me on that trip. I have traveled both solo and in groups of strangers brought together by a passion for travel. But, I have also been very fortunate to share my love of travel with those I love and hold dear. While the destinations I visit are special, it is almost always the case that those I travel with truly make the journey worthwhile.

Who are your favorite travel companions? Who has made your travel experiences special? Leave me a comment by clicking on the “Add Comment” below and tell me about your travels.
