I've been asked more than once if my kids enjoy travel. Some readers are concerned that children could be sad being away from friends and family or that they miss pets, bikes and toys. Others feel kids need stability and routine and may find long travel days and uncertainty hard to cope with. I can tell you for sure that my kids do enjoy travel, we have conversations that go … [Read more...]

Our schedule said we were going to ride a cable car, so ride … [Read more...]

Travel With Kids Blog-Not Again!
Travel with kids blog posts are thick on the ground and often carbon copies of each other. Every family travel blogger has his or her own take on how travel with kids should be done.

But we've not all exactly the same, some bloggers do things that we … [Read more...]
Problems of Travelling With Kids
Problems of travelling with kids, oh yes, there are a few. Some consider them major problems, others, tiny inconveniences massively outweighed by the benefits.
