Are your parents getting older - and you can't remember how it happened?
You suddenly realize your Father has been in the hospital 2 times in the last five years,
and it's kind of scary?
Your nieces and nephews are talking about High School graduation, and you swore they were
still in the 8th grade?
Your son shows up with his new girlfriend, and she is sporting an engagement ring?
Can you remember when you last saw your 1st or 2nd cousins?

Start your list by writing down ALL Family
members, immediate and relatives, that you can think of. Use you parents, siblings,
Uncles and Aunts to help you. You probably will need to form a committee for this
project.
Next, you want to have a pow-wow with your
immediate Family to determine a budget. This is what you feel each individual can
realistically afford ($300/per person to $2,000/per person).
Next you have to come up with a date that makes
sense for your group (you WILL NOT be able to please everyone!). A minimum of 6
months is usually ample time for people to make a decision, and is often necessary to
secure space for a destination.
Now, the fun part. You have to decide where
you would like to have this festive gathering. Think about the purpose: you
want everyone to be able to get reaquainted to long-lost relatives as well as have a good
time. Here are just a few suggestions:
*A 3-Day Cruise (BEST VALUE) - lots of activities; very price
effective; lots of meeting spaces; "something for everyone";
children's activities; all food and some beverages (non-alcoholic)
included
*2 Nights Las Vegas, Nevada - easy to get to;
good room rates; #2 destination spot in the U.S; good rates on Banquet
rooms; family oriented (finally!); lots of activities (aside from gambling)
*3 Nights Cancun, Mexico - very good package
rates; lots of families go to Cancun; beautiful beaches; wide variety of
things to do
*Punta Cana, Dominican Republic - the
"new" Cancun
*Lake Tahoe, CA - one of the most scenic spots in the
U.S.; lots of summertime activities; great lake beaches for group gatherings;
Casinos; fishing, hiking and camping
*Castle in Jamaica - for a truly unique family
gathering; lots of space; incredible view!
*Think of your own destination - there's a lot out there!
