Travel Links

-

I love to travel. I'd travel once every six weeks in a perfect world. I love to travel with my kids and without them. It's probably my favorite hobby. It's also my most expensive hobby. Because I can't be traveling all the time, I've developed the habit of researching travel to tide me over.
Here are a few of my favorite links for travel with children:
Ciao Bambino I really like this one. It's a recent find with lots of villa rentals.
Family Travel Guides This is handy resource.
Family Travelogue A great blog to which I subscribe with bloglines.
Delicious Baby I love this blog as well.
Tiny travelers This has come in handy a few times.
Vacation Kids Not beautiful to look at, but really very comprehensive and very handy.
Cruise Mates- Traveling with the Baby This is a great website for cruising with kids or just cruising in general.
These are links that I use all the time for Traveling in General:
Caribbean Way Gorgeous Villa Rentals
Fuel Cost Calculator Helps you figure out how much gas might cost you on the road.
Trip Advisor I always check out hotels here before I book.
Sustainable Harvest Service Trips Do a good deed and go somewhere wonderful. I can't wait till my kids are older and we can do this.
Budget Travel I subscribe to this magazine and I utilize the website as well.
Rent Villas I've rented a villa through them twice and had fantastic results. I love this company and I love what they offer.
So, that's a good start. Look them over. Browse. Call me when you decide where we're going!
XXOO, Amber

Hi Amber, Thanks for reading my BootsnAll Family Travel Logue (and I love the "Budget Travel" magazine and blog also!)

Hi Amber! Thanks for including us in your terrific list. It's wonderful to see the pictures of your beautiful family. So where to next?? Have you checked out our list of Family-Friendly properties? There are some great ones in there! One of my favorites is in Liguria.

Until next time!

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
