Family Outdoor Vacations | South Florida Bounce

In the post COVID-19 pandemic environment, travel isn’t as simple as it was in the past. Those planning on a family vacation will have many more things to consider and requirements to meet than before. One simple omission could put the brakes on a well-deserved respite.

Passport

Travel outside the U.S. requires a passport. If you’re applying for the first time or need to renew, begin the process early. The U.S. Department of State is behind. Routine processing can take up to 3 months. Expedited processing, which costs extra, can take up to 2 months.

Vaccine Cards and Masks

A vaccination card is critical and travelers should be current on all boosters. COVID-related requirements vary widely among countries. Some require a negative test within a specified number of days prior to boarding a plane, while others require a minimum quarantine time upon arrival.

Some countries still have mask requirements in place within certain indoor areas or when utilizing public transportation. Masks should be worn over the nose and mouth. Be prepared for changes. Countries can, and do, change their rules according to rates of infection and the situation can change at a moment’s notice. Travel bans may be instituted.

Rates

The cost of airfare and accommodations have increased significantly. Be prepared to pay more, but still shop around for the best rates. Deals are still available, but individuals will need to do the legwork online to find them – or book with a travel agent who should be able to keep you advised of current COVID requirements.

Travel Insurance

Be aware that not all travel insurance plans cover COVID-related interruptions or cancellations, while others cover some situations but not all. Purchasing “cancel for any reason” coverage will provide individuals with some reimbursement, even if it doesn’t cover the full cost.

Travel insurance may or may not include quarantine-related delays and losses. Some of the policies provide benefits ranging from $100 to $2,000 per day, along with medical coverage for quarantine or hospitalization. Choose “interruption for any reason” coverage.

You don’t have to go far in the great State of Florida to find a venue to enjoy a family outdoor vacation and it doesn’t mean packing up the SUV with camping gear and preparing for a siege by insects. There’s plenty to do outdoors and all families need to bring is a supply of sunblock.

Walt Disney World

This is the first venue that people think of for a family vacation and most head to the Magic Kingdom. Families can spend the day outside visiting with their favorite Disney characters, riding the Space Mountain rollercoaster, travel the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, explore the Haunted Mansion, and get wet on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Captiva Island

Quiet and serene, it’s a prime location for gathering seashells, birdwatching and spending a leisurely day. For those that book with one of the many nearby resorts, there’s golf courses and tennis courts, pools, bike rentals and water sports.

Everglades National Park

It’s the biggest sub-tropical wilderness in the U.S., with ranger-led programs, trails for spotting wildlife, tram tours and airboat tours.

Fort Wilderness Resort

For a unique experience, try Disney’s campground. Campers can explore walking trails, bike, canoe and kayak. There’s plenty of swimming opportunities, horseback riding, fishing, wagon rides and arcades, along with tennis and basketball. Bring the RV or camp in a cabin.

Anna Maria Island

Slow down with the laid back pace of the island. Visitors can bike, fish, cruise the barrier island, snorkel, explore a pirate ship, or take a dolphin-watching tour.

So Much to Do

There are dozens of family vacation opportunities in Florida where every member of the family can get outside, explore natural wonders and enjoy day trips to a myriad of amusements. Playing in the outdoors doesn’t mean giving up modern comforts and conveniences.
