You can: Play relaxing tunes while you and your family lounge on the beach. Use karaoke apps to throw a karaoke party in the hotel room on a rainy day.
Listen to the weather forecast for future day trips. Hook it to your backpack and play music during your family hike. When you can have music anywhere you go during your travels, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Usually everyone is exhausted from the day's activities, and just wants to lay in bed and watch TV. The problem is there's not always something to watch.
And who wants to waste more money on pay-per-view when you've already spent a fortune on the trip? You probably already have a Netflix account, so why not take advantage of it by bringing your Chromecast along with you on the trip?

All you have to do is head outside and start laying clues by creating "walls" inside of the Wallame app at different GPS locations. You could start by laying the first clue just outside your hotel room.

Then create another clue in the lobby. At the end of the adventure, you could plant a fun surprise, and bury it in the sand on the beach, or hide it under a rock. It's a modern alternative to an Easter Egg hunt that'll keep your kids busy for at least half a day, depending how clever you are at laying down puzzles and clues along the way.

4 Use Google Translate to Understand Languages
If you're traveling overseas with the family, you're going to come across a lot of signs written in a foreign language. In most tourist areas, signs include both the local language and English.
But if you ever travel off the beaten path (which is what usually makes a vacation extra-special), you're bound to see things you don't understand. Thanks to the new AR feature in Google Translate, you now have multiple ways to translate languages around you while traveling. You can download Google Translate on and .
Here's what you can do with Google Translate: Enable Handwriting and Google Translate will do its best to tell you what the symbol or phrase means. Enable Conversation translation so that both you and the person you're talking to can understand the conversation. Use Voice to translate any foreign audio to your own language.

mobile game on or , and go on a hair-raising run together. Zombies Run! turns a simple jog into a post-apocalyptic adventure where the world is filled with zombies, and it's your job as a "runner" to try and save it.
The app comes with several "missions," with radio transmissions along the way that talk you through the plot. At various points in the story, you're being chased by zombies and you need to run to get away. To play the game as a group, just remove your earphones and play the story at max volume so everyone running can hear.

If you're tired of the indoor pool and the local entertainment, multiplayer gaming is a great way to have fun with the family when you're stuck indoors. It does mean you'll have to pack a games console for your trip.
But as the weather doesn't always cooperate, it's always best to be prepared! Make sure you stock up on good multiplayer games before you head out as well. And if you don't have room for the console, there are also plenty of you can play together as well.

Technology Can Make Vacations More Fun
As you can see, there's no reason to be a luddite when you're on vacation. It's popular these days to "unplug" during vacation.
And it's certainly true that avoiding any form of work while you're supposed to be relaxing is very good advice. But that doesn't mean you can't season your trip with wholesome, tech-filled family fun. When getting ready to travel, don't forget to .
