Thank You Ciao Bambino

Whenever we travel, I spend a lot of time trying to find activities, restaurants, and the "perfect" hotel. I take notes as I go, and when I return home, I put my favorite places into our city guides. My hope is that over time, will become the best online resource for planning a trip with kids, but I cannot possibly cover all the destinations I'd like to on my own.

Readers and other bloggers often take the time to contribute their own experiences and ideas, sometimes from their hometown, and sometimes from places they've visited. Each of these people, whether they give one recommendation or twenty is helping build a resource that we can all use when we plan our trips. I want to take a moment to recognize one of those contributions. Amie, the founder of Ciao Bambino took the time to enter a huge number of hotels into our City Guides.

Where did she get such a big list, you might wonder? Amie's company, Ciao Bambino specializes in reviewing and recommending family friendly hotels. The Ciao Bambino website is one of the resources I use when I am planning my own trips, especially in Europe where it can be difficult to find rooms that are large enough to accommodate a family of four. Each review is quite detailed, and includes information like whether cribs and highchairs are available and whether the property has a swimming pool or other family-friendly features.

Thanks Amie!
