Weekly Family Travel Links, Deals and Giveaways
Over at TravelBlogs, there is a great interview with parents who travel (including me) about Why Travel With Kids is a Rewarding Experience. It's interesting to read all the different perspectives, so go check it out!
I have been obsessed with SixInTheCity, a Seattle blog about a family who sold their home and is renovating a 2300 condo in the more urban Pioneer Square neighborhood for months, so I was excited to see a travel related post. Here are some terrific photos & a story about cashing in some investments to take a seven week trip with the kids. Here are links to Part 2 and Part 3. With the market where it is now, those experiences seem like a great investment, don't they?
I am always fascinated to peek into the lives of families who have moved abroad, and Expat blogs are one of my favorite sources local information when we travel internationally, so I loved Shannon's article about moms who are Raising Kids in a Foreign Country. I also loved this story about Halloween in Morocco
It's impossible to have too many travel tips. Wandermom wrote a great and pragmatic guest post, also at TravelBlogs about Surviving Long Haul Flights With Kids. TravelSavvyMom has some great tips about tips for taking pictures of kids. Over at Away.com there's a great tip for using stroller connectors to join two umbrella strollers when you travel.
I thought this post on what state welcome signs would look like if they were more truthful was funny. It plays off of state stereotypes & uses some inappropriate languge, so if that bothers you, don't look.
Family Travel Bargains
Wendy Perrin wrote about a great deal at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas it's so great, she says she'd grab it herself if she didn't already have plans. Need a getaway from the West Coast? Wendy also hi-lights some great deals in Hawaii
Prices have been slashed at Disney's Cheapest Orlando Resorts
Airfares to Australia are the lowest I've seen them in about 10 years. To make matters even better, the US dollar has gotten stronger against the AUD in recent weeks, so if this is your dream trip... now is the time.
Contests
This is the first time I'm adding links to travel related blog contests. Let me know what you think.
I'll be running a Sit-n-Stroll giveaway beginning on Monday!
