Yikes! Not exactly the relaxing beach retreat you had in mind, huh? Well before the date you’re planning to hit the road, let your parents know your relatives’ fighting bothers you. Maybe they can talk to your aunt and uncle about it before everyone packs the beach umbrellas. If a ceasefire does not present itself, steer clear of any fights—physical or verbal. It might be tempting to try to jump in and solve their problems, but it’s not your job to tell your relatives how to behave. At the first sign of trouble, grab your iPod (a must for this trip!) for a soothing stroll on the beach.
