Summary: Yes, families CAN travel !!
Review: My family moved to Asia (from Australia) 4 years ago. At that time, we comprised of 2 adults and three rather outgoing 'typical aussie' kids (aged 6 and under).While living in Asia, we've made an effort to travel out of country every three months for well needed 'environmental relief'. At first we limited our travels to places such as Hong Kong & Thailand. Nothing too spectacular from memory. Then, after that first year, I was handed a copy of 'The Family Travel Guide' by an American friend. I didn't think I'd get much out of it... WELL, that book hasn't left the coffee table since. It's been used primarily for 'inspiration' over the years, but the contact details have also proven most useful. WE TRAVELLED TO ROME AND ROVANEMI (FINLAND)ON THE STRENGTH OF THAT BOOK - AND FOR THIS I WISH TO THANK THE EDITOR! My children will never forget the time they met Santa (last Easter) or the Pope waiving from his window in the Vatican City (six months prior). To add to this, they've now been priviledged enough to visit the likes of Scotland, Turkey, Nepal, China and several other nations in SE Asia. This book taught me that 'kids clubs' are not the "be all - end all". More parents, if they're fortunate enough to have the funds to travel with their tribe, should curl up on the couch with 'The Family Travel Guide'. It's been a God's send to us!
