Travelling With Teenagers
"The hardest age group of all?" |
Older children and teenagers have their own needs and are perhaps the most prone to boredom on vacation being deprived of their friends and subjected to spending time with their family!
Often, they are not interested in any games or books you might provide and chances of your CD collection being to their taste are slim... We have found that the best things we have been able to provide for older children and 'young adults' are a Play Station and a
Games Room
complete with billiard table, foosball, air hockey and darts. Unless you are buying ‘just released’ Play Station games (and why would you be?), you can pick up games pretty cheaply in supermarkets or ask around friends with older children for unwanted games. Equipping a
Games Room
is going to cost you quite a bit of money and whether you need one or not will depend upon the area your home is in, how competitive it is and how much space you have. Adding a
Games Room
at the expense of a bedroom is probably not worth it but if you have unwanted garage space it might be worth thinking about.  Personally, I think it is not needed generally in Europe but is becoming almost essential in the Orlando area where competition for bookings is intense.
