Hi Everyone!
We have a trip planned for myself and my three cousins (22, 19, 16, 13) planned for August of 2018. We've booked the vacation (yay!). I've been three times in the past year, and the 19 year old and the 16 year old came with me last year for their first time. This time, we are planning on bringing their youngest sibling (different moms/households), the 13 year old, with us. His father is a bit hard to crack, and is being a bit skeptical about the trip. I've told him ten months in advance (with the joke "I'm giving you ten months to come to terms with this"), and will be giving him as much information as we can when we have it. We are all pretty sure that he will be fine with it, once he gets all the information and talks to me about it, but coming from a parent's side, I would like to know what information to give him up front. As you know, we can't give him exact plans yet (still being four months from ADR's) and not having booked our flights yet, but this is what I have typed out for him so he has something to go off of. Is there any other information you'd appreciate as a parent knowing up front.
(I'm also not expecting him to pay for any part of the trip, as I'm the one inviting his child, and will simply as for him to ensure the 13 year old has spending money (airport snacks, souvenirs, etc).
