Sorry for the lack of family travel blog activity for the last day or so; I’ve been over at Fast Machines posting up NHRA drag racing articles about this past weekend’s race in Columbus, Ohio.
I thought that many of you might enjoy this article in the New York Times about travel with the “sullen set;” teenagers. From my own experience I can confirm that it’s certainly a challenge, but I’ve also learned that it always seems to pay off once my teen appreciates the opportunities that she’s been given.
It may take a few weeks/months/years before the parent gets to see any of that appreciation, so be persistent and patient.
There’s nothing like looking at a school textbook picture of a place and realizing that you’ve personally been there and have an understanding that your peers do not.

If you are looking for a beach vacation with teenagers, Breezes resorts and Club Med are excellent choices that offer them a lot to do. Many cruises also offer teen only programs and areas just for them that they will love.
Thanks Jolana, I’d love to try a Club Med one of these days — thought I’d get down to the one in Florida but haven’t made it.
My daughter really wants to go on a cruise, and so do I. Would be perfect for my family since there’s a 7 year age difference in my kids and it’s hard to find something that they both like.
I’m former Navy and so is my husband; we’d enjoy going to sea knowing that we won’t have to stand watch on the bridge or in the engineering spaces!
