College Fam Trip!

In the travel agent world, which I cover for my day job, there is an institution called "the fam trip." It's short for "familiarization trip."

If you're a travel agent, you go on these trips to learn about hotels, restaurants, day trips and the general ambience of a destination. You troop in and out of hotels, taking notes and photos, so you don't get them mixed up. It's kind of a forced march, but, they can be fun.

And I'm using the skills acquired on fam trips and press trips on a whole series of college fams with my daughter, who soon -- too soon for me but not soon enough for her--will be a high school senior.

You can come along for the ride for our latest:  two states, four cities, seven schools.
