Family is important. To many Igbos, family means everything. Taking sometime out to going on Christmas vacation trips, sight-seeing… to the village with the family could be fun but stressful.
Obindigbo Magazine presents some tips to make things easier for you and your family:
- Before Traveling, make sure to exercise, sleep well and drink a lot of liquid. Stay sober – don’t drink and drive!!!
- If your family’s Christmas journey to the South-East is going to be a long one, make sure you and your family members stretch your legs and arms from time to time. This keeps blood flowing and prevents it from pulling at your extremities.
- Clothe your family in loose-fitted clothes that “breathe.” Please avoid high-heel shoes.
- You make bring a neck pillow, eye masks, noise-canceling earphones for every member of the family
- Perfect timing:
Create a perfect Christmas vacation to the South-East for your family by making use of 20th – 30th December when almost every member of the family is free and together. - Budgeting:
Try hard to plan for your family’s Christmas vacation with a budget in mind. Christmas vacations to Igboland can weigh heavily in the pocket. So, be prepared.
- Accommodation:
This is important as you may find out that other extended family members are also going to be around for the Christmas, and there may not be enough accommodation for everyone. In such case, book for your family a hotel ahead of time and make sure it’s safe, convenient and comfortable for your family.
Christmas family vacations to Igboland could be much fun than you ever imagined. Take a trip with your family to Igboland this December!!!!
