#2 Travelling with family, set a date with your spouse

How about a day just for the two of you? A romantic dinner by the beach? A walk on the park? You do not have to be on a separate hotel with your children to do this. Sometimes a half day or a meal with your spouse is already enough.  Do not feel guilty when you have to send your kids early to their bed. Remember that a happy wife is a happy life.

#3 Plan your trip with your children and loved ones                                               

You must have been various trips alone – how about taking your kids or parents along this time? Kids are great companions when they are enjoying the activities set for them.  Include them in your planning and bring them to the places they want to see.

#4 Book activities ahead of time

It is still best to plan ahead.  This is especially true for famous sites and tourist destinations.  Check the availability of guides, accommodations and logistics.  You do not want a messy holiday just because you did not book well in advance.

#7 Take candid pictures

The best pictures to see are the ones that would remind you of stories.  Capture expressions, activities and split second moments.  Remember that the photos you took will be the constant reminder of your adventure. 

#8 Be gadget/internet free 

Due to the availability of Internet, it is very easy to do something online. Make an effort to stop yourself from accessing your apps and music. Instead, observe people, listen to the noise the environment gives and have real conversations with the people you are with. And yes, you can let camera be the only gadget around.

#9 Seize every moment

There would be times that even your camera won’t be able to capture the moment you are in.  So just stay there and embrace everything you see for it may not happen again.

#10 Write a journal at the end of the day

Ooooops, do not imagine this to be a summary of how your day went.  It could just be a sentence of how you felt, a new foreign expression you learned, a phrase that caught your attention, or even a word that would best describe your day.
