When kids become part of a trip, they bring their energy to it. Their amusement and reactions to the new and unknown traditions and customs of that foreign land are priceless and the fun that they have is something that starts to reflect in every member.

When I was a kid, we used to go on trips with our uncles and cousins and the “bachha party” used to have a ball throughout the trip. The reminiscence of those trips is not just cherished by us but also by our parents. They recall the shear enthusiasm and confidence that we showed while indulging those goofy traits.

I recall one incident when we went for a trip to Leh and Ladakh. We were having cricket bats and ball with us. When we reached there we were all were too exhausted to even go out for the morning sightseeing but the kids were determined to practice their cover drive on such heights. We finally gave up to their will but told them that they can play and we will not be part of the sport, to which they happily agreed. We were sitting on the rocks watching them play and that is when few kids dressed in the attire of bodh bhikshu also gathered and watched them play. My cousin’s son went up to them offered them to play as well. They were a little hesitant at first but agreed to our kids’ idea. The sight of those bodh kids playing cricket with our kids was something that still fills up my heart with some warm emotions and brings smile to my face. What we captured with our eyes that moment has stayed with us as sweet memory, which could have only been possible because of our kids.

Many incidents like this had given us memories that we even cherish today. The first and foremost step to such a perfect vacation is a good plan. Whenever we plan a vacation, we take special care that our kids have great time. The first and foremost thing that we do is book a good hotel or resort. Once you have a good place to stay and throw your luggage in, it is half the job done. Picking up the right sightseeing spots that would interest the kids and even the adults is my second priority because on vacation everyone needs to have fun. Once I cover these two things then I just sit, relax and enjoy my vacation with my family and make awesome memories that I cherish long after the trips.
