Ready to plan the ultimate getaway?
Whether you’re hitting the road with kids, exploring with your partner, or flying solo with a carry-on and a dream — we’ve got you.
From the wild beauty of Alaska to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean (and every snack-filled stop in between), 5 Suitcases is your go-to guide for family-friendly travel that’s fun, flexible, and full of memories.
We’re based in sunny Florida, but we never stay put for long — join us as we explore coastlines, cruise decks, mountain roads, and magical small towns across the map.

We created this website to share our adventures, and perhaps even inspire you to plan your own. Our goal is to give our kids hands-on adventures to help them learn about the world around them. We love visiting State and National Parks, museums, and forts. Of course, as Floridians, we’ll never turn down a beach day!

Our featured video is from our Mason-Dixon Road Trip Series. Watch as a bunch of Florida kids try out sledding for the very first time! Oh…and we do it on one of the longest sled runs in America. Go big or go home, right?
