Family holidays are quite popular nowadays, but sometimes you may not feel quite satisfactory with your holiday. So today I’d like to talk about how to prepare for a family holiday. (16)A family holiday is not only educational, but also character-building. It can promote mutual understanding and interaction between family members, and travelers can learn more about different cultures. Some destinations are great for family holidays, which are fun, safe and full of interesting activities to keep people entertained.
   The following tips may help to make your family trip exciting, memorable, and satisfactory.
   First, choose a suitable time for your family trip. It’s hard to settle the date for a longer family trip when one family member is quite busy with his work and you have a limited holiday allowance. So you’d better plan your family trip for school holidays.
   Then, (17)we’ll talk about lodging. Contact your travel advisor or the hotel in advance, and discuss any special requirements you need. (17) Familiarize your family with hotel facilities and emergency procedures. Put away any dangerous items that may harm your family.
   About eating and drinking, my suggestion is never to drink tap water when traveling. You can take a kettle for boiled water, or buy bottled water from supermarkets. Be alert to food allergies. If your family have allergies to certain foods, tell your travel advisor, your guide, and the restaurants. Don’t eat food purchased from street vendors if your stomach gets upset easily. There are many typical foods in almost every place of interest, just take a taste if you feel interested.
   (18) Safety is quite important for your family holiday. Never go anywhere alone when traveling, especially at tourist attractions or on crowded streets. (18)If you travel to foreign countries, carry a note in the language of your destination country in case your family members get separated from each other. The note should have on it your name, phone number, your hotel’s name, address and phone number, your tour guide’s name and phone number.
   My last tip is about family discounts and special arrangements. Check out preferential measures and discounts on transport fares and admission fees for families. Contact your travel advisor to discuss and arrange for the special needs of your family.
