Family travel winter 2024. |
|||
Starting in November, one of brightest spots in our state of California is the western monarch migration. |
|||
From November to February monarch butterflies overwinter in three best monarch sanctuaries - Santa Cruz, Monterey (Pacific Grove) and Pismo Beach. |
|||
December in Europe is delightful, cities are beautifully decorated, lights glowing, holidays parades into the New Year. |
|||
Weather has become more extreme year round, causing travel disruptions. For your planned family vacation, make backup plans. |
|||
| Be sure to have your airline app for notifications and changes in your plane schedule, and family carry-on bags with everything you need, in case flight is delayed. | |||
| Another essential app for live flight information is FlightAware. | |||
| Traveling in Europe, weather also affects train travel. Get the app for your train schedule, so you have notifications for any change in schedule. | |||
Tips for December 2024: |
|||
Before and during your trip, check the weather conditions for your destination. In the United States, website weather.gov has most accurate information. |
|||
| Also, check the NPS website or app for alerts. In past year, there have been extreme weather events, such as unseasonal wildfires, and flooding. | |||
