Family Vacation Tips And Destinations
Family Vacation Tip: Keep the Kids in Mind
Careful planning is essential when taking a trip with your family. For parents with younger children, it's imperative to plan for the worst. Kids tend to get sick at inopportune moments, and vacation time is no exception. That's why it's always a good idea to pack cough syrup, aspirin, or any other common cold remedy to use at the first sign of illness.
If you and the family are flying, it's often best to plan an early morning trip. There are a greater number of delays as the day goes on, which can increase the likelihood of children becoming antsy. Also, try to reserve aisle seats or seats near the bulkhead, which provide more leg room.
Planning the trip together with your children is also a way to ensure a smooth trip. Children, especially teenagers, will feel more involved with the vacation and likely cut down on complaints over the course of your trip.
Family Vacation Tip: Establish an Emergency Plan
Emergency planning is an often-overlooked, but key part of preparing for a family vacation. Before you embark on your trip, it's good to go over with your children what to do in case of an emergency. Memorizing important numbers and addresses of where you're staying can help prevent further complications in the case of separation, especially with young children.
Ideal Destinations for Family Vacations
When traveling with the family, it's important to keep in mind that not all destinations are family-friendly. Some are more geared for adults while others are too kid-centric. Below are a few destinations that are great for mom, dad, and the kids. Read up about them and choose a family vacation destination the entire family will enjoy.
Family Vacation to London
Upon arrival in the English region of this massive island, it is important to include travel outside of London for the full British experience. England's most southwestern tip of Cornwall is home to the legendary sea-cliffs below Penzance and the dramatic peninsula of Land's End where a 25 mile trail will take you along some of the most beautiful stretches of ocean. Cornwall is also known for its architectural landmarks, including Cotehele, a most impressive Tudor mansion and museum along the river Tamar. Travel northeast to encounter ancient towns nestled in the picturesque countryside of The Cotswolds. This region is extremely popular for a glimpse into the idyllic English lifestyle with its 14th century stone and thatched roof cottages and cobblestone alleys. Keep in mind that the southern regions are heavily traveled in the months of July and August by locals and foreigners alike due to the warmer weather.

Family Vacation to Canada
The second largest country in the world should by no means stand in the shadow of its more boisterous southern neighbor. Canada's 10 million square kilometers of land, lakes and life brings its own signature flavor to the North American continent. Travel through Canada is a truly mind-opening experience for even the most seasoned vacationer.

Family Vacation to Ireland
Most fascinating of Irish travel is the evidence of ancient Celtic civilization and their Viking invaders in the form of stone circles, monoliths and mounds. Burial mounds, known as Court Cairns and Tumuli, can be found all over the countryside. One such ruin in the Silvermines Mountains has lost its covering over time and the many stone chambers inside are now visible. The most impressive stone circle is The Lios in Limerick, which dates back to 2000 BCE and is given a distinctly eerie feel by the area's abundant overgrowth and crooked trees. The giant circle is 150 feet in diameter and attached to a long stone-lined path that leads to two other smaller circles in the area.

Circles of Stone $6.99 Evoking the narrative sweep of The Clan of the Cave Bear and the spiritual resonance of The Celestine Prophecy, Joan Dahr Lambert creates an extraordinary novel of prehistoric life... In this compelling adventure, the stories of three wise women -- each called Zena, yet born thousands of generations apart -- unfold in a compassionate and moving saga that celebrates the remarkable growth of the human spirit. Ranging from the African savanna more than one million years ago to the fertile shores of the Red Sea to the magnificent limestone caves of the Pyrenees mountains -- where the first artists painted the firelit wonders of their existence -- scene after breathtaking scene draws us into their lives as they negotiate a world they do not understand. In this world, an ostrich eggshell becomes a wondrous device for carrying water and the earth's upheavals reveal a lush, lifesaving oasis to a starving tribe. With striking detail, Circles of Stone reinvents the incredible lives of our distant ancestors. As the human heart and soul emerge in a volatile dance of experience, language, and meaning, Circles of Stone becomes an unforgettable, supremely entertaining read. |
