How can you balance the various personalities in a family on vacation? In your book you talk about three vacation skills. Can you elaborate on these? What about when travel becomes stressful? How can you still get the rest and rejuvenation you need from the vacation? You like to think of vacations as not just vacations, but as vacation cycles. Can you explain what this means?
