Pandemic has been harsh on everybody around the world. Almost all got confined just into their homes and their monotonous routine including household and office work. Our family has been no different. We are two siblings and parents who put up together at home. The young ones still had games and movies to indulge in apart from the daily chores, but what I realized and witnessed was that my parents were stuck for real into boredom and frustration. Though they both are employed and trust me that was the only thing that kept them a bit sane during this pandemic.

As gradually after a long break, the lockdown got lifted and also that the travel resumed, the first thought that struck me was of making reservations for my parents, and sending them on a holiday for a short much-needed break. I booked flights tickets for them to Mexico with United Airlines Flights as the airline is my mother’s personal favorite. Also, I made the resort reservations with a luxury one. I wanted this to be a refreshing gift from our side for them.

I pre-planned the entire trip for them in advance keeping their choices in mind as a priority so that they only enjoyed while on their vacation and had nothing to worry about. Mexico has a lot of attractions to visit and spend time at. I purchased entry tickets for some to make the holiday a perfect one for them, and indeed it turned out to be one as well. The trip had been an amazing one for them. They appreciated much about our joint efforts for the bookings and were happy to their heart’s core.
