There are so many arguments out there as to why families shouldn\u2019t travel:<\/p>\n
And, the argument I hear the most often:<\/p>\n
Travel with your kids can be worthwhile and filled with lots of wonderful adventures for both parents and children alike… It just takes the proper perspective to make it that way. This is where MomsTravelTales.com comes in:<\/p>\n
We have taken our kids near and far, from overnight excursions in our own hometown, to trips within North America, Central America and Europe. (Without the kids I can add a few more destinations to the mix.)<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve traveled by plane, train, boat and automobile and we\u2019ve endured delayed and cancelled flights, diesel gas confusion, sick kids (and mom) and carrying lots of heavy carseats.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve also slept in castles, watched our kids take part in crazy street performances, enjoyed the most stunning mountaintop views, and truly experienced different cultures, making new life-long friends. (We even hosted one of our children\u2019s Club Med\u00a0 counselors in our home for several weeks. It was her first taste of America!)<\/p>\n
Since I\u2019m often asked by friends and friends of friends, and since, like I said, I enjoy family travel, I\u2019d like to share what I\u2019ve learned in making family travel more rewarding.<\/p>\n

Yes, there is a lot of gear, but you really don\u2019t need everything. (I can give you a few tips.)<\/p>\n
Adults get tired and cranky, too\u2014just take your family\u2019s rhythm into account when planning trips and be sure to plan downtime… Is the experience about packing in all the top sights or is it about enjoying time together as a family?<\/p>\n
Almost any place can be made kid-friendly with a little finesse. (I\u2019ll show you how!)<\/p>\n
And no, your tiniest children may not remember their travel experiences\u2026 but you will. And they just might enjoy the moment. Isn\u2019t that part of why you play with them anyway?<\/p>\n
There are so many arguments out there as to why families shouldn\u2019t travel: There is too much gear to lug around. Kids get tired and cranky. There aren\u2019t enough kid-friendly places. And, the argument I hear the most often: My younger ones won\u2019t remember it anyway.
