Weekly Link Roundup: Why Travel, Where To Go, and More

It's been a while since I've done a round up of what's happening on other sites, and it is time for me to get back in the swing of things. Here are some of my favorite recent articles:

The article Baby On Board, Baby Abroad by Frank Bures over at WorldHum does a great job of explaining why we like traveling with our kids so much.

In Top Ten Things My Husband Loved About Our Recent Cruise Wendy Perrin writes about her family's recent cruise, why she chose to take a cruise to Europe with her husband and two boys, and how it worked out (they loved it). Her husband pitches in with his top favorite things about the cruise.

We're always looking for small local restaurants to take our kids to. The sort of places that serve great food to locals and nobody else. That's why I was excited to see this recommendation from Intelligent Travel for a hidden new Burger Joint in New York's Family Friendly Parker Meridien Hotel. It would be fun to find the secretive space with kids, and the prices ($6.50 for a burger) can't be beat.

Roger Sinasohn over at ParentDish has some great suggestions for Camping With Kids. He also points readers to REI's guide to camping with kids and GORP's Building Kids Excitement in the Outdoors

Can Parents Take Their Kids With Them on a Business Trip? asks Harriet Baskas. Of course. It requires some extra planning, but it can also offer your child a unique insight into what you do when you're away from home and a chance to bond during your off hours.

Arthur Frommer (Of Frommer's Travel Guides) highlights some Great deals on Vacation Rentals in the Caribbean and points out that a one week villa rental for $770 would enable a family to have a GREAT vacation even on a fairly tight budget.

Taking the kids to an amusement park this summer? MSNBC has a roundup of VIP Benifits at different parks. For example, some Disneyland packages include a "Magic Mornings" option, which lets you enter the theme park before it is open to the general public.

Vagablond has an article about Traveling in Style With Your Grandchildren. According to Vagablond, Washingtond DC based Grandtravel has a variety of different scheduled tours to destinations like Alaska, South Africa and Italy designed specifically for grandparents traveling with their grandchildren. The trips are designed for kids ages 7-17.
