Alamo Then & Now: How Has Family Holiday Travel Changed?

by 752 Comments

With the holiday travel season well underway, Alamo, a leading national car rental agency, has asked me to share a memory of holiday travel from my childhood.

I sometimes feel guilty during the holidays when I hear my friends making travel plans to visit their families. Traveling to see loved ones during the holidays has never been a big issue for me, as I have lived down the street from most of my family since I was 6 years old!

Before we moved to Miami while I was in the first grade, we lived in Kentucky - quite far from everyone we knew and loved. With my father in the military and there being three children in the family, we never went to visit my grandparents while we lived there.

Luckily, there was one year when our family came to visit us in Kentucky!

I think that visit from the family made my parents realize how much they missed their family, and when it came time for my father to reenlist in the Army, he did not.

I still remember that road trip back to Miami - made it right in time for Easter! This was back in 1984, before iPhones and iPads - and being that I was just 6 years old, I couldn't even read a book to pass the time! Since we were moving home, we traveled in a U-Haul van. It was not the most comfortable road trip, as you can probably imagine.

Thinking back on that trip to come back to Miami for Easter, I realize how fortunate I was not to have to travel every. single. holiday!

The funny thing is, now that I am an adult? I travel all the time during the holidays - but that is a story for another day! If you are traveling this holiday season, I hope that you will consider a more comfortable ride than the U-Haul we traveled in all those years ago!

Alamo has locations through the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia, with over 171 kiosks at 63 US locations alone! Because Alamo focuses on value-oriented international and U.S. leisure travelers who are looking for a hassle-free rental experience, you know that you can always find a great deal on a rental car at Alamo.com! Alamo posts deals on Alamo.com almost on a weekly basis in order to give their customers opportunities to save even more on their rentals!

    My great aunt was coming up for Thanksgiving, she lived outside DC and my dad had to get her. It took them HOURS and HOURS to drive the 40 miles to get to our home. It was a real experience.

    When I was growing up, it was the reverse of how it is now. Everyone lived in NY in my family. Talk about being right down the street - literally 2 blocks away. Now, we have dispersed and have to do the whole holiday travel thing. And sometimes we'll even rent a car for the 9 hour road trip from MD to SC. Happy Holidays Hun!

    When I was little all we EVER did was go to the cape (Cape Cod) or Washington DC (I have family in both places). Despite how much my brother, sister and I begged - we never did anything different. That's part of why I take my boys to Disney World every year. I am living vicariously through them.

    When I was young I remember my parents packing the station wagon full of Christmas gifts and then squeezing all 6 of us kids in and traveling 12 hrs to California for Christmas. On the way there we all took turns sitting in the back facing seats with all the presents and that was the year we all figured there couldnt be a Santa Claus, even though our parents tried to tell us he just came early so we could take our gifts with us

    I remember when I was little, we would always go to my Aunt's house for Christmas Eve dinner. It wasn't overly far, but the trip home was always magical for me. I would be looking out my window into the night sky looking for Santa Clause. I never did find him. I always saw the most beautiful sky, full of twinkling stars. This is pretty amazing since we were in Philadelphia with all of its lights. I always looked forward to that car trip home, every year

    One summer my entire family- grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins- all went to a cabin in Taos, New Mexico for a couple of weeks. I was around 10 and my cousins were all about the same age. It's funny to listen to the older generation talk about the "disaster" of a trip now (plagued with snakes, food poisoning and other calamaties), yet the cousins and I all still look back on the trip so fondly!

    Perspective is everything, I guess!

    I'll never forget the Christmas we, my husband and 4 daughters and I, drove 2 states away to be with my husband's family.
    We had to bring all the presents from Santa with us along with our luggage for 6 for a week. His family's traditions were very different, which confused the girls. Then drove back with santa's gifts, relatives gifts, and dirty laundry.
    We never traveled on Christmas again.

    Aaah. I remember a trip we took to the mountains one year. My dad, step mom, and two sisters. We were really young then. We had a nice secluded cottage near the top of a mountain...I will never forget...because it scared the crap out of me to drive up it....there was this road you had to go up, one side was going up the mountain...the other side was a very...very steep drop off...I had to close my eyes till we got to the top. Well, not knowing much about the mountains wilderness...they let me and my oldest sister go roaming around the orchards and mountain by ourselves. I think we were about 9 and 11 at the time...we were out having fun...and while skipping. Around a corner on one of the old dirt roads...we came across an orchard that was planted up a hill...it was beautiful...so when we stopped and looked...there was a pack of wolves..just stairing at us from the top of the hill. I froze solid...and when I looked back lol my sister was running...so I kicked myself into gear and darted off to...of course they started running after us...but thankfully we made it back safely..and that was the trip I will never forget

    Actually last year was an interesting travel experience! My boyfriend at the time (who is now my husband) took me up to spend Christmas with his family. It was the first time I had not been with my own family at Christmas but despite a horrible ATV crash (mine...) and a heart attack (not mine!) it was still a great holiday!

    I remember going to Philadelphia (from Buffalo) with my family. My sister and I were singing Christmas singing songs and generally having a good time. We became rather obnoxious during 'Feliz Navidad' and my mother yelled at us. That doesn't sound like a happy memory, but it never fails to make me laugh.

    Last year I made my first road trip from NJ to NC to visit family for Christmas. I didn't think I would enjoy driving for that long but it was actually a lot of fun.

    One year, we went to visit our aunt out of town for the first time on Christmas Eve and even though we had gotten directions off Google, we had forgotten to ask her for directions. We ended up lost and got to the party 2 hours late!

    My most memorable travel experience was taking the bus to Cleveland when I was 16 to visit my best friend who moved before the start of the school year -- I took the Greyhound by myself, which was scary and exciting, and I met lots of interesting characters along the way before finally reuniting with my friend for a memorable week.

    My favorite holiday travel memory is of riding in the back of a truck with a camper from Indiana to Colorado. I was about 10 years old. My brother and I stayed on a mattress that my father put in the back of his pickup truck. I know it wasn't safe looking back on it, but it sure was fun!

    The family classic '55 Chevy, turquoise and cream, carried our family of six hundreds of miles over the years as we traversed the state of California to spend holidays with grandparents, aunties and uncles. I remember my dad getting upset while he was driving us along "Christmas Lane" one year to view Christmas lights because the Chevy's V-8 engine wasn't responding well. My dad exclaimed, "This thing wouldn't drive over a peanut in the road without stalling." A few minutes later the car came to an abrupt standstill. Suddenly my 4-year-old sister piped up, "Damn that little kid who put the peanut in the road!" The story has become a family favorite.

    Nowadays, family members must travel long distances by plane and rental car since some live as far away as China, and on both the eastern and western seaboards.

    My favorite holiday travel memories are of folding the seats down in my parents station wagon and building a pallet of blankets and pillows next to our luggage, and making the 12 hour drive to see family. It was always such an adventure, and I loved laying there and watching the world go by, and reading and playing games. I am almost sad for my kids, that their mama knows SO much more about car safety than was known then, that they will never experience that. Almost. 😉

    One Christmas Mom and Dad took us to Cleveland to be with our Grandparents. The morning after Christmas when we were to go back home to Tennessee, it had snowed to much overnight that Dad had to carry us to the car. Before getting on the interstate, we had to stop at a diner and wait for the salt trucks and snowplows to clear the roads.

    One year, we went to Florida for Christmas, from our home in Michigan. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at home, and flew to Florida in the afternoon. We then had a 3 hour drive from the airport to my grandparents' house. Well, we didn't plan as well as we might have. We completely forgot that all of the restaurants would be closed! Christmas dinner that year was Sbarro's pizza at a rest stop on the toll road.

    Of course, going swimming on Christmas night totally made up for the plane ride and the greasy pizza!

    The holidays always meant family visiting us. My Mom was an amazing cook, and baker...and everyone returned home to see us each year. When I was a teenager Mom decided she wanted to take a trip instead, and we flew to San Francisco for a couple days then drove to Tahoe in a blizzard. Christmas eve and Day were spent in a really great hotel, with a butler..and my Mom's homebaked treats to enjoy. It was fancy, fun...and memorable.

    My grandparents lived in a very rural (outhouse, one pipe of running water) area. My father would go to visit them to help them run errands every other month or so. His brothers would also go, so that my grandparents had someone helping them at least once a month.

    When I went with him it was the most boring 5 hour trip. I'd count mile markers, look forward to bridges and trains.

    Driving on the interstate while on a loong trip to my husband's family home with our newborn in the car, we hit a snow storm. It was very bad. A semi beside us drifted into our lane and my husband (to avoid being hit) went in the median. He gave the car as much power as it had to travel (controlled) thru the wet, slushy grass and we safely made it thru. We stopped at the next to stop to cathc our breath and headed back out to our destination. We now think twice about travel in the snowy season.

    Every year from the time I was 6 until I was 13, we drove from Northern California to Southern California to have Christmas at our Grandparents house. I have so many memories of the 8-10 hour road trip and even greater memories of staying at my Grandparents during the holidays. My Granny somehow made Christmas magical. They both passed away right after I had my own family, so my family never got to experience the magic that I did, but I will forever hold those memories in my heart. They are the reason that I try so hard to make my childrens Christmas magical every year.

    Christmas was always spent at 'home'--first my grandparent's then my parents'. Since they lived in Minnesota,sometimes the drive got fairly hairy. But in all the years I drove it, there was only one time when I had to stop along the way and spend the night in a motel because of bad weather. My kids thought it was great, but I just heaved a sigh of relief to get off the road!

    Taking my girls to the Outer Banks. It was a very long drive but so very worth it. My girls were in awe over the ocean. They loved the roads and bridges that we had to ride on to get there. We had a blast while there and would love to go back. Thank you!

    I remember going to my Grandmother's for Christmas every year except one year when it snowed so much we couldn't make the 30 mile trip. My dad tried hard to get us there to make five sad faces smile-but the roads were too bad.

    We drove to Florida to see our cousins one year. I was excited to see them and to see the ocean for the first time.

    Traveling to upstate New York in December and having a white Christmas for the first time in my life. One of my best holiday memories.

    I just traveled to Detroit to see family for Christmas. The drive back to Chicago should have taken five hours, but due to a massive snow storm it took seven hours. But the snow was beautiful, and all the cars were driving a safe slower speed. I finally got to see my snow!

    Our holiday travel has always been within state but being the oldest of 5 at that point stuck in a car driving atleast an hour always had it's moments!

    Well this year we were moving throughout the Thanksgiving holidays, from TX to CO. So we loaded up and then made stops throughout the week at different family member's homes. IT was great!

    We've never traveled much for holidays because we live in the same small town as all our family, so I don't have any big holiday travel memories

    I remember going to my nana's house on Christmas Eve every year. She had the best food, holiday drinks, and plenty of hugs for all of us.

    I used to love traveling to my grandparents for my holiday break! As an adult, I miss the old childhood traditions and am eager to build new ones!

    When my cousin was around 8 (she's now 22) I took her to Galena, Illinois where I rented a townhouse/villa in one of their resorts for Thanksgiving weekend. We left McHenry, Illinois around 8pm and following directions given to me by her aunt we arrived at our destination around 10:30pm. There was nobody at the rental office but there was a note in the mailbox with our keys. We arrived at our destination, watching out for deer and other animals on the road and we had the best weekend of our lives with horseback riding, fires in the fireplace, hiking and sightseeing.

    One of my favorite holiday memories of my own childhood was when I convinced myself I saw Santa right outside of our car window as we were leaving my grandparents' house. To this day, I clearly remember the face. 🙂

    Best holiday memory since having my daughter is her looking at the tree and getting all excited when she was just a few months old. She was a preemie and it was such a joy to see her react to everything that Christmas, so glad that she was okay and enjoying Christmas with us!

    We would travel from Ohio to Middle Tennessee for Christmas every year. The holidays there was always so special. My Aunt always was up at 5am making homemade biskets and ham and red eye gravy. The tree was cut from the farm...always beautiful and being together with everyone was priceless.

    I am very fortunate that I have never had to travel during the holidays. All of our family is local.
