Traveling with Children: Top 10 Tips

Tip #1 Consider an all inculsive holiday at a Club Med, Nouvelle Frontiere Paladien, or other all inclusive holiday resorts. Check out the following:

- Ask about the mini club or teen club and discover which one has the best activities for your children and if they are open when you are visiting. (Many clubs have mini clubs during school vacations only)

- if the food is usually good in the country in general, you can assume it will be good at the club. For example, we got quickly tired of the food in Morocco (alot of couscous and chicken) but loved the food and variety in Crete.

- Bring grandparents or other families for an easy way to be together but have your own time.

- Take excursions (either with the club if it is dangerous to drive or go alone) or rent a car or taxi driver to discover the local culture.

- Watch for deals where the second week is half the price of the first week. A wonderful bargain!

- If you want to practice a foreign language consider a "french only club" or perhaps "spanish only." Some people will speak english but you can be assured it will help improve you and your children's language skills.
