How do you get teens to enthusiastically go on a family vacation? Simple! Take them on a vacation that includes what they like — adventure, challenge, time with peers, adrenaline-pumping action and time to chill, plus cool stuff that's -- well -- too grown up for little kids. Oh, and some time with the family, too!
