Answer: Traveling with the family

Clues: “Excursion” and “Truckster”

People like to joke about needing a vacation to recover from a vacation but if you’re traveling with family, it’s actually a real thing. According to a report, it takes parents two and a half days to recover from traveling with the family.

And 71% of parents say they do need another vacation to recover from their vacation.

If you’re traveling with kids, the key is to not make things harder on yourself.  30% of parents say bribing kids with treats is fair game, 28% said buying toys mid-trip helps, 26% resort to “unlimited screen time.”

And more than half of parents say they bring along some kind of audio player to entertain kids with music, storytelling, and “soundscapes.”  If possible, try to find things that can be calming, not something annoying or repetitive that can raise the tension or stress.
