The Kids Are Back in School – Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Plan Your Next Getaway
The backpacks are packed, the school buses are rolling, and you finally have a quiet(er) house again. 🚌
After the back-to-school rush—new routines, supply lists, sports schedules—you deserve a moment to breathe. But here’s the secret many parents don’t realize: this is actually the best time to start planning your next family getaway.
As a travel planner who works with busy moms and families, I know firsthand how quickly school calendars fill up. Between holidays, teacher workdays, sports tournaments, and family events, those precious windows for travel disappear faster than you think. Here’s why now is the perfect time to get ahead:
1. You’ll Lock in the Best Availability
Resorts and flights for popular travel times—like winter break, spring break, and summer vacation—book up months in advance. Planning now means better options for room categories, flights that fit your schedule, and family-friendly resorts that don’t sell out.
2. Payment Plans Make Travel Easier
Booking early often allows you to spread out payments instead of paying everything upfront. This makes big trips (like Disney, cruises, or all-inclusive resorts) much more budget-friendly.
3. Stress-Free Holidays Start Now
Imagine heading into the busy holiday season knowing your spring break or summer vacation is already planned. No scrambling at the last minute, no sky-high prices, just peace of mind and something exciting to look forward to.
4. A Trip to Match Your Family’s Needs
Whether your family loves adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, I can help find a destination that fits everyone’s personality—and your kids’ ages. From toddler-friendly resorts to teen-approved activities, there’s something out there that will check all the boxes.
5. Parents Deserve a Break Too
Let’s be real: vacations aren’t just for the kids. You’ve earned some downtime as well, whether that’s sipping a cocktail by the pool while the kids splash in the waterpark, or sneaking away for a parents-only getaway once the school year is in full swing.
Bottom line? Back-to-school season is the perfect time to think ahead. Let me take the stress off your plate by handling the research, bookings, and details so all you have to do is count down the days until vacation.
