On Star Mega Do 3 in September of 2011, I had the chance to meet a great couple, Ryan and Kate.  Ryan was on the SMD3 and Kate met up with us on the last stop in Denver.  I remember her being pretty pregnant at the time, so of course I was drawn to talking to a traveler that was about to have a little one.  Their boy was born… Read the Rest.

We met Westin and his family a few months ago.  I like to highlight the stories of different traveling families, so that we can all learn from their tips and experiences.  This story is extra special since Westin has some special needs that make his travel experiences all that more complicated – and all that more rewarding. Now at 13 months old, Westin has added another destination to his growing… Read the Rest.

This frequently flying family had so many stories and tips to share, that their interview had to be broken up into two parts.  In the first part they shared information about some of the domestic and international trips they have taken, their experience flying in First and Business class with their children, and discussed how airline elite status plays into their travel equation.  In this post this awesome family will… Read the Rest.

One of my favorite things about going to frequent flyer events, like the MegaDo’s, is the opportunity to meet other families who also enjoy traveling around the world with their kiddos.  One of those such travelers I had the chance to meet is my new friend Michael, better known as jetsetr in online miles and points forums.  He and his wife have had some pretty extensive travel experiences with their… Read the Rest.

Tonight is the eve of what is typically one of the busiest travel days of the year – the day before Thanksgiving.  I remember living in New York City for grad school and flying home to Texas the day before Thanksgiving.  It was always an entertaining experience, to say the least.  Fortunately, I now live a mere two streets away from my parents, and Thanksgiving is actually at my house… Read the Rest.

For the next installment in my “Traveling with a Toddler” series, I wanted to up the ante by interviewing my friend who travels with her twin toddlers! I shudder in fear at the thought… Ha ha, actually her twins are adorable and she is a rock-star mommy. Her twins are just a few months older than Little C, so I have enjoyed hearing stories about them ever since they were… Read the Rest.

I am obviously a huge advocate of making the most of your miles and points.  For many families, that means traveling near and far with little ones.  While we have made several trips with Little C, we haven’t done anything like what this family did with their one-year-old, Eva.  When I first learned of the trip they were planning to take with their daughter, I’m not sure if I was… Read the Rest.

I love sharing stories and tips for traveling with a baby and toddler. It does no good for your family to have earned tons of miles and points only to not use them due to fear of the challenges of traveling with little ones. Or perhaps worse, to use your hard earned miles and points, only to have the trip quickly head south due to some avoidable pitfalls of traveling… Read the Rest.
