Guest blogger Jill Martin Wrenn and her family (three kids under five!) had a great time visiting all of the children’s attractions during their weekend in New Orleans. But you can’t go to New Orleans and not indulge in the fabulous food, so they made sure to go to some kid-friendly restaurants that the grown-ups were [...]

When you hear New Orleans, you think “let the good times roll” not “let the strollers roll.” But Jill Martin Wrenn, family traveler extraordinaire (you may remember her guest posts about Italy, Birmingham, England, and Disney World during Thanksgiving), just spent the weekend there with her three kids and found that there’s plenty for little ones — and [...]

Neither are pleasant situations, and perhaps the thought of combining the two of them has you thinking that you’re better off staying at home than jetting off to that beach vacation. Well, would you be surprised to learn that I’ve discovered that [...]

Panama is on the Hottest Destinations List for 2012 for the New York Times, Travel & Leisure and National Geographic Traveler.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving travel (and if you have to brave the airport crowds during the Thanksgiving week, you are probably not feeling too thankful about it), I was asked by ABC News Now to give my tips for flying with a child under two. You can watch the ABC News Now video or [...]

Today I was interviewed on ABC News Now about how to make flying with children under the age of two as painless as possible. Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest travel times of the year, and everyone is dreading flying — especially families! My son is about to turn one, and I have flown with [...]

Tomorrow, my husband and I will be spending our first night away from the baby. Actually, we’ll be spending three nights away from our six-month-old son because we’re going to a wedding at Caneel Bay in St. John. I know we’re going to have an incredible time in the Caribbean, but we’re also really going [...]
