Some people aren’t great with words. Some people are OK with words but have no desire to keep a wordy travel diary. Others just love photography.
If you fall into one of these groups, and if you like to travel, a photo travel diary may be the perfect way for you to preserve all the memories of your favourite adventures.
There’s also a major benefit to keeping a photo travel diary that those who prefer to write cannot compete with: mixed chronology. [Read more…]
These days, having young kids is no barrier to jetting off on wonderful adventures and discovering amazing new places. Vacationing with young children can be enormously rewarding, and traveling from an early age can be eye-opening and educational for your little ones.
New experiences, exotic foods and unusual sights are even more exciting when seen as a child, and your little one’s perspective might even add a new dimension for you as a parent, too!
However, travel with kids does include some unique challenges, and there are more things to keep in mind and to plan for. You need to ensure that family vacations include a range of activities so everyone can have a good time, and it’s worth thinking about things like travel, accommodation, activities, and downtime in advance.
To help with planning the best family vacation possible, and to make travel with young kids a breeze, these hints and tips can keep the whole trip running smoothly. Read on to learn more about easier travel with kids [Read more…]
Traveling with kids is a challenge, and that’s especially true with two kids. When both are also under two years old…well, let’s just say challenging probably isn’t a strong enough word! Today Katelynn from Hampers and Hiccups is sharing her tips and tricks for making traveling with 2 under 2 just a little bit easier!
When I was pregnant with our second baby, my husband and I were considering taking a trip over to Wales, UK to see my aunt and her family before Sweet Girl turns 2. This would put us in the air with 2 under 2 for, oh, about a million hours. It’s a long trip from our home in Saskatchewan to their doorstep in Wrexham.
While we were still chewing this over, my father-in-law brought up the idea of taking the entire family down to Maricopa, Arizona. The timeline was the same as our dream trip! All these conversations were taking place before we even had a second baby, but I was sure we’d be able to do some traveling with a rambunctious toddler and a 6-month-old. So, we agreed to the Arizona trip and decided to save Wales for another year. When we head off, Sweet Girl will be 23 months old, and Pip 6 months old.
Now that Pip is born, and Christmas is over with, I’ve started focusing on our April trip to Maricopa. I was half-planning the whole time, but just in my head. Now I’m actually making lists. And holy moly is there lots to consider!
This will be our first real trip with kids. No more carry-on luggage only. We’ll be waiting at the baggage carousal with the rest of heavy packers. [Read more…]
Traveling has plenty of perks, but it also requires a lot of preparation. And that’s all the more true if you are in a wheelchair. The unexpected can happen during trips, and some events you may not be prepared for. For wheelchair users, the challenge is even greater, so you always need to think ahead and anticipate.
You deserve to have a great time on your vacation! So, to make the trip more enjoyable for yourself and everyone else that’s coming along on your trip, check out some of the tips for traveling with a wheelchair.
Canada has many popular cities when it comes to family vacations, but Toronto is easily one of the top choices for travel…and with good reason! From museums and art galleries to theatres and shopping malls, the city has something to please everyone.
But there are some Toronto experiences that absolutely cannot be missed, especially for families visiting the city for the first time. If you have a trip to Toronto in your future, these are three attractions that you’ll want to make sure you fit into your schedule!
The tower that helped make the Toronto skyline (and the city itself) stand out among other world capitals is a place that everyone should visit when in the city.
While it may seem like the CN Tower doesn’t have a whole lot to impress children, the speedy ride in the elevator is something kids of all ages will love, and the glass floor that lets visitors look down and see just how high above the ground they are is sure to thrill…and maybe even terrify a little!
