Travel with kids, and have fun - Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Australia,
Asia - Kids can go - and you can have a great time too!
Most parents know that once you're packing for a weekend away,
you might as well be going away for a week or more -
This Website is for people who love to travel - and want to
continue having a fun time- with kids!
My site is devoted to anyone that's been told they are crazy for taking their kids to Europe, Asia, etc.
It's not only fun for me but our kids look forward to help planning now too.
As long as you are prepared to get organized (I NEVER used to be) and have realistic expectations
then, you will have an amazing time - and see stuff that through your children's eyes that will truly be
memorable!
I've learned A lot from my travels with a 6 week old and now with three in tow 3,7,9. I And I know you
will have a blast - just follow these quick guidelines:
GENERAL PLANNING:
- Plan a part of your trip ASAP - meaning - decide on where to go, in general IE - Paris, London,
Venice, etc
- Look into airline tix right away. If using frequent flier miles they release seats about 11
months before your departure and only have very limited seating. Will you have to pay for your
child? Yes, if over 2 years. (see planes trains and autos section)
- Decide if you want to include other people - friends, family - we usually do and have fun! But
you may want this to be just you?
- Get passports ASAP also - even a one day old needs a passport to go overseas (see more
about this in the link below)
- Do you have decent luggage that will hold up?
- Are all your kids' shots up to date?
- If you're going to Europe, you shouldn't need any special shots - but other parts of the world
you do - check with your doctor! Although, we did JUST get back from Evian les Bains with
our kids and before we left they informed us at the resort that our children had to have a shot
that we, in the US don't even do anymore - so we got a drs. note daying our children are
healthy! - Crazy, but lots of cultures gathered together - stuff happens!
- Get a guide book, look online - do you want to stay in a major city, go on day trips and/or
venture out? If this is your first trip overseas with kids - consider going easy on yourself
- DON'T go overboard with things you want to do while on vacation - if you have kids - things
can and do go wrong! (We've had high fevers, ear infections and naps gone wrong before!)
Plan on seeing one to two things a day if you have a child 2 or under maybe 3 things if your
children are under 10.
- ALWAYS -plan on stopping at a park for kids R&R - there are always lots of parks with kids
activities - it's a great way to decompress - de-stress and even enjoy lunch
