Christine Loomis delivers just what her title promises--she looks at every aspect of family travel, zeroing in on the pitfalls and demystifying easy solutions as she goes. Since every family is different and has its own individual delights, budget constraints, and stresses, Loomis examines a variety of options, but the essential concepts are the same. Figure out, as a family, what you enjoy, what you dread, and what sort of shared experience would work best, and take it from there. Loomis delves into how to plan, pack, and prepare; how to stay safe and survive the unexpected; how to find good lodging and dining; and how to live it up without stressing out. Full of insight into parents, children, and travel, Loomis' book provides a wealth of worthwhile suggestions that'll save time, money, and sanity, paving the way towards the vacation you and your family can afford, enjoy, and remember well.
