First of all, there are two ways to look at that question. One is whether to be together as a family. I mean, one of the things that's happened in this generation is that we spend very little time together. We're always running, we're always doing things, the kids have play dates, the kids have basketball games, or baseball games, and there's very little time that we spend together as a family. Also, vacation time is the time when we can really do that. To plan that vacation time in advance is really important, because it will make it go smoother. It will make it easier in the long run.
