Greetings Fellow Travelers,

I'm writing at 30,000 feet as I return from my in-laws' 65th wedding anniversary, an inconceivable achievement. Since Nana and Grandad weren't up for a really big party, three generations celebrated over a fabulous meal at Jasper's in Plano, Texas. A recent YPartnership survey found that 70% of you would also travel to mark a milestone, and we'd love to hear what you've done.

Getting ready for vacation? With August come the best bargains of this crazy summer, and the late Labor Day means many families will have an extra week to enjoy them. Let us know how we can help you plan.

Wherever you're off to, safe there, safe home,
Kyle and Fran [deals@familytravelforum.com]
