1. Planning the itinerary

Everyone in the family wants to do something different, and no one can seem to reach a consensus.

2. Looking up flights

What do you mean, a 5 ½ hour layover? Why do I have to go north before I can go south? I am NOT getting on a plane at 5:00 AM.

3. Packing

Packing mostly consists of doing laundry, trying to find enough clothes, and deciding how many times you can wear the same pair of shorts.

4. Sitting in the car for hours on end

There are only so many Snapchats you can send of the road before your friends start to get annoyed.

5. Laughing at inside jokes

“Remember that time [family member] said [joke about another family member]?”

6. Being embarrassed when your family wants to take a million pictures

No, Mom, you can't have another family picture. You've already taken 15 of them today.

7. Exploring new places

Whether it’s a big city, a small town in the middle of nowhere, a national park, or anything in between, vacation is all about exploring new places.

8. Getting sick of your family after being stuck with them all week

“Oh my god, [family member], if you don’t stop [annoying thing said family member is doing], I am going to lose it.”

9. Returning home and being relieved to be back in your own room

Vacations are fun, but it’s nice to go back to sleeping for 12 hours and not having to hear your family snoring.
