PwC India Hi folks,
I graduated with Master studies in business at Singapore, and recently moved to India. I am currently looking for a consultant role in strategy functions at big4 in India. Here in India, most of the roles in MC & strategy advisory fills through referrals and campus recruitment, and not posting on the websites. I’d like to connect with people at big4 strategy functions for referrals and to know more about the firms operations
Thanks!

More info needed: budget? Distance you’re willing to travel? Activities you and your kids like to do? Activities you want to avoid?
I’d go to Hawaii or an all inclusive in the Caribbean that is good for kids. Somewhat relaxing (as much as possible with kids) but in a place they can still be entertained. Also you can get to either place with just two flights usually, and the range of available options for all budgets is great.
A friend took her kids to the Nickelodeon resort in Mexico and said it was great for her 8 and 6 year olds. We’ve also been eyeing an Atlantis (Bahamas) trip for when my 2 and 4 year olds are a few years older.
One thing to be aware of re: Caribbean destinations in the fall is that it is hurricane season and many of the islands can get hit quite hard. So expect rain and wind and possible disruptions unless you go somewhere far enough south.
Where are you located?
Took the kiddos to DC for a week (3 and 7). We did museums, georgetown, waterfront jazz fest.
How active are you? If I were you, I would try to go to a national park with shotty reception. You don’t get a ton of chances to truly be off the grid in our line of work.
Montreal and Quebec! Cheap, 4 hour train ride in between
Beaches Turks and Caicos! Kids’ swim up bars, crystal clear water, and a fun water park on site!
Branson, Missouri
San Diego, CA
In the Midwest, willing to fly, drive, boat
Are you outdoorsy, more into big cities?
It really depends on your kids' interests.
Mine lived museums from birth.We expired the Henry Ford museum and Greenville Village. The village is lovely; there are many hands-on activities available. And the Henry For Museum had machines that made vehicles or of plastic before your eyes. We still have the Weiner mobile that we saw behind made!
We have not yet visited any of Frank Lloyd Wright's Jones, but they might make fun trips!
I'm originally from North Carolina, and I can recommend panning for gold at Reed's Gold Mine (yes, at this country's first Gold Rush, which predated the California gold rush by 50 years!). There are also gem mines in the area, as well as the N. C. Zoo.
Nearby, you'll find Carowinds, an amusement park where you can stand in states (North Carolina and South Carolina) at the same time!
Also, in the Boone and Blowing Rock area, you'll find Tweetsie Railroad, the Mast General Store (truly, it's a fabulous experience). Of course, Ashville and the Biltmore House are incredible (but it would be good to check on how they are recovering from the floods).
Another great option is the beach! Myrtle Beach had a permanent carnival (with rivers, etc.), and kitschy shops every child loves! You could also stay a few days at low-crowded beaches in southern NC.
Another great option is Busch Gardens at Williamsburg. Your could add a day at Colonial Williamsburg and spend the rest of the week at nearby Virginia Beach. (Actually, this is what my husband and I did for our honeymoon with kids (my stepchildren were 8 and 9 when we married.)
Again, it really depends what your kids are into.
While the amusement parks should not be missed, please consider hands-on activities, whether they be minimum, living museums, etc. It's a great way to build more and diverse memories!
