Travel Advisor
Melissa
The best memories are made while away from home. How so? Because jumping off waterfalls on Christmas morning doesn't happen in the backyard, it happens in exotic places like Hawaii and the Dominican Republic. Zooming down Slinky Dog Dash at Walt Disney World while listening to my daughters' belly laugh and squeal with delight - those are the memories that last a lifetime.
Several years ago I decided that our holidays and summers were going to be about experiences, not material items. There isn't a day that goes by that I regret that choice. My daughters are genuinely excited for our next adventure because they know it far surpasses any trendy electronic gadget or designer shoes that they could receive.
