One of the biggest headaches of group travel is luggage. The most common problem faced by groups with too much luggage are delays, from the long wait at the baggage claim to lost luggage, one person’s luggage problem can put the whole trip on hold. That’s why you should establish the one-bag rule.
Inevitably, of course, you will have people who insist that they can’t fit everything into one bag. Carefully consider what their concerns are before booting them from the group. For example, someone who needs to bring a laptop to get work done during the trip or someone who needs to bring an extra bag for a newborn should be accommodated. Other than the obvious exceptions, the group should commit to this rule. It’ll make everyone’s trip go more smoothly.

These include not only physical transportation benefits but also emotional benefits, like the fact that you’ll gain some spiritual insight about your attachment to material things when you don’t have them around.

Cruises offer a special opportunity for groups of any size–from 10 to 200 or more. The sheer size of today’s mega-liners allows all members of a group to find an activity that appeals to them, or they can just relax by the pool and do nothing at all. Group cruises can also be big cost-savers. Consider the following advantages of booking a group cruise.
If you’re headed out of town on business travel, you don’t want to get to the airport to discover that your flight’s delayed. Bookmark these sites to ensure that doesn’t happen.
You’ve got a travel group that is interested in going to a diverse range of places. Instead of arguing month after month about where it is that you want to go next, consider creating a calendar at the beginning of the year that covers the rest of the year’s destinations.
