Maui, Hawaii
|
 From the second your plane lands on the island of Maui on your family
vacation, a remarkable feeling happens. It starts with a feeling of
relaxation as you catch the scent of orchids and gardenias; as you
wander through the outdoor corridors, the warm, tropical heat wraps
around you. You know that you and your family are on a very special,
almost magical family vacation. You are on the Hawaiian island of Maui,
one of the best family vacation destinations in the world. Maui is
perfect for family vacations. |
Hawley, Pennsylvania
|
 When it comes to East Coast family vacations, Hawley, PA, cannot be
beat. Located just two hours from the greatest metropolis in the world,
New York City, Hawley has small-town charm and slow pace in spades.
Hawley is a great spot for a week long family vacation and as a
day-trip escape from the craziness of a New York City family vacation.
The location of Hawley certainly makes it a wonderful spot for a family
vacation; but the wealth of family activities makes it a great family
vacation destination all on its own. |
| Travel Tips for Families On The Go |
 Before traveling abroad it is always good to be prepared for possible worst case scenarios. Here are the top ten travel tips that all traveling families should know:
- Make sure you have a signed, valid passport and visas, if required.
Also, before you go, fill in the emergency information page of your
passport!
- Read the Consular Information Sheets and any Travel Warnings for the
countries you plan to visit. (Look at the end of this listing for where
to find Consular Information Sheets).
- Familiarize yourself with local laws and customs of the countries to
which you are traveling. Remember, while in a country, you are subject
to its laws!
- Make 2 photocopies of your passport identification page. This will
facilitate replacement if your passport is lost or stolen. Leave one
copy at home. Carry the other with you in a separate place from your
passport.
- Leave a copy of your itinerary with family or friends at home so you can
be contacted in case of emergency.
- Notify by phone or register in person with the U.S. embassy or consulate
upon arrival.
- Don't leave luggage unattended in public areas. Don't accept packages
from strangers.
- Don't be a target! Avoid conspicuous clothing and expensive jewelry and
don't carry excessive amounts of money or unnecessary credit cards.
- In order to avoid violating local laws, deal only with authorized agents
when you exchange money or purchase art or antiques.
- If you get into trouble, contact the U.S. Consul!

School is coming to an end my friends, and the summer sun is upon us at
last. Summer is the opportune time of year for families to come together
and spend genuine quality time away from the hustle and bustle of
everyday life demands. The kids are well rested and eager for adventure,
and the parents, thrilled to take a much needed getaway from their
usual routines.
I have found that the classic family road trip never loses its appeal.
Packing the kiddies up in the car and hitting the open road to your
desired travel destination is not only an economic alternative, but also
a fun filled adventure. This family vacation would not be complete
without a family friendly B&B in which to relax and enjoy the sights
of your sojourn, as well as create some unforgettable family memories
that will last a lifetime.
