Hi hi
Does anyone bring their infants (ie 0 to 18/24 mths) on
vacations overseas?
What are the likely destinations that are
deemed ''suitable'' for infants, not that they will understand
and appreciate the trip but rather, making it an enjoying
trip for the whole family/friends/relatives without draining
the life energy of the parents and their friends and relatives and
robbed off the fun factor.
Most of the families I have spoken to do not bring their infants
on such overseas trip cos -
1. too young to understand and appreciate
2. gotta spend a great deal if not same amount of time to look
after
them
3. unable to enjoy cos too preoccupied looking after
infants
4. waste of money as infants are charged at 40/50% of the full
fare.
5. causes irritation to the rest of the tour group cos of
infant
''logistics'' like daipers changing/pass
motion/crying when on
the coach. (not all like children especially
infants)
Rather, these families will only take their kids at least 5 yrs
and above overseas in order to make it more enjoyable and
memorable.
I have a friend whose youngest is only 3 and oldest is 7 has
never
bring her kid overseas as the reason cited as above. To fully
understand and appreciate the trip, she said she will only bring
them on overseas holidays when the youngest is at least 5 and
above.
Any one has a differing opinion or comment?
