Some stories just warm your heart, and Grandma Noreen’s decades-long travel tradition with her grandchildren is one of them.
Solo trips are very special…I took Augustine on two last year (the Caribbean cruise on Explora and the SAS round-the-world trip) and both were simply phenomenal. I can’t wait to take my daughter on solo trips as well. Solo trips are unique bonding experiences with time for extended conversation in a different environment without the normal stresses of being at home.
In 2025, her grandchildren (eight of them) repaid the favor by taking Grandma Noreen on a group trip to Hawaii. Listen to this onboard tribute on Hawaiian Airlines:
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
