Traveling anytime can be a chore, but if you have kids who are traveling with you, this can be even more of a nightmare. Add in the stresses of an airport and the patience that is needed when flying, which most children don’t have, and things can get even worse. So, as you are confronted by a trip that involves flying with the whole family, how do you get through it with the kids? Here are some tips: Choose Easy Times – One of the first things you should try to do is make the time you are dealing with…

Travel Insurance – Don’t Leave home Without It
Saturday, January 10th, 2009 at
11:15 pm
One of the things that people often forget about or decide to take a chance on is Travel Insurance. Usually they think it is too expensive so they are willing to take the risk of nothing going wrong. Unfortunately all too often things do go wrong, luggage gets lost, items like cameras and laptops get stolen and people have accidents and get sick. You know it really isn’t worth taking the risk, especially when you can get cheap travel insurance online. And don’t be concerned, just because it is inexpensive doesn’t mean your insurance cover isn’t comprehensive. You will have peace…
If You Are Travelling – How big is your suitcase?
Friday, September 12th, 2008 at
1:49 am
I am finding that the more trips I go on, the smaller my suitcase gets. On our last business trip overseas we both decided that this time we didn’t want to drag huge suitcases around with us. We had done that on so many other occasions and were tired of it. So even though we were away for 7 weeks we only took what was pretty much the size of an overnight bag….maybe slightly bigger. And you know what?…when we got back we realised that we hadn’t used even used some of the clothes we packed….so we could have packed…
Restaurant Review: Eating Cheaply at Las Vegas Buffets
Thursday, September 11th, 2008 at

Eating in Las Vegas is a great experience. Not only is the food of excellent quality but you can feed yourself for a very reasonable price, especially, if you eat at one of the many buffets in the casinos. We have eaten at quite a few buffets in Las Vegas and found that even the cheapest of them provide delicious food. The difference between the more expensive buffets and the cheaper ones seems to relate more to the amount of choice rather than in the quality of the dishes. Here are some of the buffets we ate at and our…
Using the Fastpass at Disneyland Theme Parks Anaheim

Some of the rides at Disneyland are so popular that the regular queue can have a waiting time of up to 100 minutes. Waiting in long lines means you have less time to spend on other activities that you may want to see. So make sure you take advantage of Disney’s FASTPASS to cut down your waiting time. Check your park map for the attractions that have FP marked next to them. In Disneyland these attractions are:- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Splash Mountain Indiana Jones Adventure Autopia Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters Space Mountain Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin So decide which of…

We arrived late last Wednesday night so it was too late to go over to Disneyland, however we were up bright and early the next morning. Breakfast was taken in the hotel, nothing special, couple of eggs and 2 slices of bacon with toast. Before you head off to the Disneyland park check if your hotel is on one of the bus shuttle routes, if it is then one of the first things you should do is purchase a shuttle pass from the hotel before boarding the bus. You cannot purchase a shuttle pass ticket on the bus you can…
Traveling with Pets on Airlines

When we were in the US waiting for our flight from Orlando to New York we were a bit taken aback when we saw a women with her little dog in her handbag. Coming from Australia where pets aren’t allowed in airports we just assumed that she must have sneaked the dog in. Once on the plane we were even more taken aback when she proceeded to sit in the seat behind us with the pup on her lap. In Australia, dogs aren’t allowed in the passenger cabin area. The only way they are allowed onto a plane is in…
Travel Safe Handbags

Yesterday we went shopping for a couple of handbags for when we head over to the States in July. We normally like to have something with lots of compartments to fit maps, a water bottle and various other things that you need when you are out and about. We had heard about a brand of handbags specifically made for travelers so this is what we were looking for. These bags had a number of benefits although it also meant paying double the cost of a regular handbag but the benefits appeared to be worth it in the long run. The…
Travel Tip: Choosing the best seating on a plane
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007 at
11:37 pm
If you will be taking a long haul flight then don’t request a window seat particularly if you are traveling alone. Request the aisle seat instead. The only time you will see anything in the window seat is at take off and landing and on a long flight you will really want the aisle seat as you won’t need to climb over your fellow passengers every time you need to take a trip to the bathroom. It will also mean that you can just get out of your seat at any time to exercise your legs and get the blood…
