Multigenerational travel is hot in the travel industry. From large extended family reunions to smaller family groups, having many generations take the time out of their busy schedules to come together creates lasting memories and builds stronger bonds amongst family members. I know in my own family, our “M-Cubed” reunions are always fun and we tend to bring them up in discussions years later. My children have gotten to know their great aunts, great uncles and the multitude of cousins.
So let’s get started!

Now that our state governments are starting to relax the restrictions on businesses and gatherings, we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. Summer is right around the corner and we are looking at getting away now more than ever. Some may do “local” travel to places within driving distance of our homes, but some will be flying to more exotic destinations. Otherwise known as “Not Pittsburgh.” Flying will be quite a bit different than what we have become accustomed to before the Coronavirus. We thought we would pontificate on what we think that might mean.
