Italy with my in-laws meant late starts and tricky meals. Then we got a week to ourselves.
Our trip to Italy grew into a 10-person family vacation. It was great, but I'm glad we also planned for some time alone while abroad.
The author embarked on a multigenerational family trip to Italy, where they met up with her in-laws. The group consisted of 10 people, ranging in age from 1 to 71. The author, however, was glad that their family of three had a chance to explore on their own for a few days after the in-laws departed. Traveling with a large group presented logistical challenges, with the need to find suitable accommodations and navigate transportation options.
The author and her husband preferred to get out early to avoid crowds and heat, while the rest of the family woke up later and were less inclined to travel early. Additionally, dietary preferences varied among the group, making it difficult to find restaurants that could accommodate everyone's needs. Despite these challenges, the author and her family enjoyed hiking in the Dolomites, a bucket-list destination for her.
They had the freedom to hike for long distances without worrying about other family members' stamina levels, and they appreciated the opportunity to choose activities that suited their smaller family unit.
