Book Review - Frommer's 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up

Frommer's 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up is written by Holly Hughes, a travel writer who is also a mother of three. Her guide is full of memorable destinations for your kids.

500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up could just as easily have been called 500 Places Parents Should Take Themselves Before They Grow Up, if not for her helpful age and activity recommendations.

Hughes's guide to family travel destinations that will entertain and educate your kids also includes hotel information, basic history related to the sites, contact and website info for the destinations (when available), and air and travel info (where applicable). There is no need for parents to even search the nearest airport -- Hughes has done it for you.

500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up provides parents with interesting ideas for family vacations -- ideas designed to interest and inspire your children. A visit to Little Rock Central High School might infuse your teen with a passion for diversity and inclusion. Perhaps Legoland will capture the wonder for a future bricklayer or engineer.

Although not all of the locations listed in 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up are within the financial means of many families, several of Hughes's suggestions are only a road trip away. You can stand in awe of the Rockies or the Great Smoky Mountains even if you can not hop over to Mount Fuji or the Scottish Highlands.

All in all, Frommer's 500 Places to Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up is a practical family travel guide for middle-to-upper class families, and a "fantasy" travel guide for the rest of us.

Luggage Forwarding Service Lightens Load for Summer Travel

Have you tried air travel with a young child lately?
With the increasing amount of travel regulations,
the prospect of air travel with young children seems
more daunting.

A luggage shipping company in NYC has seen steady
interest from families who are choosing to ship items
and luggage BEFORE they travel.


Luggage Free specializes in door-to-door shipping of
luggage, equipment, bags and anything else travelers
opt not to carry on trips but need to have at their
destination. With the ability to send bags, cribs,
liquid formula, and car seats ahead to any location
in the world, parents are taking advantage of the
service in increasing numbers.



Founded in 2002, Luggage Free has experienced consistent
growth year-after-year due to increased baggage
restrictions imposed by airlines and government agencies.

Out of necessity, families with small children often pack
more than the average traveler and Luggage Free is an
obvious solution.


Since its inception, the company has continued to add to
its services, which include wrapping and protecting luggage,
time-sensitive retrievals, and completion of all airway
bills on the behalf of customers.
