Getting loved ones together again is cause for a proper celebration.
Here are some ideas to help get you started, from adrenaline-pumping adventures in New Zealand to relaxing staycations amid the rolling hills of Virginia.
Go wild in Africa.
Lions, boars, and bonding – oh, my! Few experiences tie travelers together the way a shared wildlife encounter does, and Africa offers them at every turn. While journeying through Botswana, float over the Okavango Delta in a hot-air balloon together, spotting herds of elephant and sable antelope below. Or, snorkel among schools of colorful, glittering fish during a sun-soaked stay at Mauritius and compare favorites back on shore.

Get your culture fix in Asia.
Asia’s cultural offerings are as varied as the continent is vast, which means shared learning experiences abound for entire families. For example, in Singapore, follow your appetite from the upscale hotel dining to the city’s iconic — and, now, UNESCO-recognized — hawker street-food centers for a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
