No Need To Travel Alone!

It is often times very pricey for single parents to travel with their kids. Even when kids promo’s are out there to travel for free or at a reduced rate, not having another adult going often times raises the child’s rates to another adult price.
Most cruise lines, Disney and all inclusives require 2 adults in their pricing of accommodations. But, there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
Beaches resorts understands that single parents need a break. They have certain dates in which they waive the $190 per night single supplement fee! Hot off the presses from Beaches Resort are their 2010 SINGLE Parents travel dates. For 2009, there is still time to travel through the end of October, but for next year, they are running these special single parent travel deals for Aug 17-Oct 31 ,2010. They are also making a point on having single parent welcome receptions, social cocktails, kids movie nights, and much more.
I can remember being a single mom and going on vacation with my kids only to feel a lack of conversation at night. On cruises, I often felt like a 3rd wheel to the couples at our dining table. I remember one time my kids ditched me for friends they made and I
was left alone under an umbrella watching all the other couples walking the beach.
Let’s just say a vacation should not be about how lonely you are on a beach! Sometimes it is very refreshing to get away from the grind and relax with others that are in the same “boat”.
I never had the time to join a single parent club or networking group, but now with these events at Beaches, it seems very appealing to hang out with others while my kids played in the waterpark or in their state of the art “xbox” game center.
It is refreshing to be able to travel to an exotic location and know that my kids will have a good time and I will too! It is my hope that other resorts adopt this same promotion as Beaches and single parents can discover many wonderful spots around the world with their children in tow!

Informative post. I never thought to look into this sort of thing. Very useful. Probably still beyond my budget, but something to at least consider.
