Book Description

A vacation has the special power to bring a family closer together - breaking away from familiar routines, allowing time to enjoy each others' company, and experiencing the world together. All it takes is the right mindset and some planning. The Travel Mom shows you how.

In one invaluable guide, you'll get a host of ideas for some of the most popular options in family travel - from cruises and all-inclusive resorts to RV camping and extended-family reunions.

The Travel Mom also tackles the sticky realities of family vacations. In a warm, mom-to-mom tone, she gives you tricks and tips you'll appreciate from the first rainy day, missed flight, or scary look at the travel budget. Simple strategies like packing a customized "boredom bag" with snacks and games can save a long road trip. And her off-the-beaten-track and off-season suggestions are unbeatable to keep things interesting and affordable.

A great resource for busy moms everywhere, The Travel Mom's Ultimate Book of Family Travel will guarantee their family vacation is worth all the time, money, and emotion they put into it.
