When you no longer live with your parents, deciding to go on holiday together can be a bold move. Chances are, you haven't spent this much time in one another's company for a while, and both you - and your expectations of travel - may have changed.
For some, like me and my mum, a joint trip is an opportunity for a much-needed catch up with the bonus of new scenery, while for others, the countdown to heading home begins as soon as they step off the plane.
Considering taking the plunge? Here are five highs and lows you're bound to experience along the way, plus how to make it work.
1. You're an adult - but parents can sometimes forget.
Tamsin Ivy, 26, from Surrey, has holidayed with her parents off and on as an adult, alongside her two sisters who are 20 and 22. She says the biggest challenge is "being treated like a child again". "My dad insists on carrying all the passports and boarding cards as he thinks we can't be trusted not to lose them and my mum thinks I can't remember how to pack my own suitcase, even though I've gone on plenty of trips without them," she tells HuffPost UK.
But she describes this as a "tiny burden to pay in the scheme of things" because she has more shared interests with her parents now than she did when she was a child, making travel "easier".
