Pearls of wisdom from experienced travellers with tots.
Why driving trumps flying when vacationing with kids … despite what experts may say! “Spend less time on the road.” “Avoid long road trips.” “Book your tickets months ahead.” I don’t get it. Why do travel experts advice you against long road trips with young children? If time wasn’t a constraint, I would pick a ...
At first glance you might think ‘potty training’ and ‘road trips’ are two things that should never, ever go together. I have to admit I was pretty intimidated by the prospect when my husband and I loaded up our then two-year old son for yet another business trip to LA. It’s nearly a six-hour drive ...
Experiencing a vacation destination like Costa Rica with our kids undoubtedly gave us a new appreciation of the country even if my wife, Dora, once called it home. Children always offer us a new perspective by forcing us to open up to new cultures and new situations that we often miss out on as adults. ...

I know that baby walkers get a bad rap these days, but I still love the Baby Trend walker we bought for our son Christian. We bought it when he was around 6 months old and were eager to try it out. It has a built in tray and some built in toys to help ...
I can’t begin to explain how much I appreciate having the Northsate Superyard XT Coral for our son Christian. The Superyard is basically a set of gates that connect together to form an enclosure. Think of it as a giant play pen on steroids! I believe it’s relatively inexpesive when you consider all the wonderful ...
In less than two weeks we will be on a five hour flight to Maui with our ten month old son. The primary reason for the trip is to attend the wedding of two good friends. Of course the prospect of spending a week on the Kaanapali coast at the fine Royal Lahaina Resort can easily qualify as a primary reason for the trip as ...
