plan the whole thing

The Family Trip Planner.

Build your route day by day and see what it's going to cost and what to pack, and it'll keep you from missing a booking window (which I've done). Made by a family of eight who has done this 47 states worth of times, so it's been tested haha.

where are we going?

Planning somewhere else? Start with the itinerary and go from there.

Add your days and drop in your stops, and the budget and packing and booking tabs will build themselves around your trip. If you pick an unlocked region above, this tab turns into a route finder with our exact recommendations (the ones we'd give a friend).

Answer the Start Here questions and load a route, or just add your first stop below and build it however you want.

Okay so what will this really cost?

These are honest ranges from a family that tracks every trip dollar (it's a little embarrassing how closely), and you can tune them to your crew.

$0

psst On points, a trip like this can honestly cost a fraction of that number. We got our family of eight to Hawaii nearly free, and everything we know is free to learn, because money shouldn't be the reason your family stays home. Step into the Points Room →

Pick your travel month.

This sets your packing list to the right season. If you pick an unlocked region above you'll get real month-by-month local intel, like what to expect and what to skip and the stuff the locals know.

Book it in the right order.
