May 21st, 2010 by Jessica
Many parents may have such problem, one side,want to travel to relax ourselves and other side will worry kids you
left at home.So, why don’t you travel with your kids together? Come on, all of you will realize that’s a wonderful
idea.Getting kids involved in the planning from the beginning will help create “buy in” for the trip that is being
created. If you’re not wedded to a particular vacation site, give them a choice of two or three places that are in
the running. If they are older, have them review guidebooks to pick out places of interest they would like to
visit. If they are younger, check your local library for videos on the location of choice so that they can watch it
and get excited about your upcoming trip.Assign them specific days that they are in charge of planning: what to do, how to get there, where to eat, etc.Most kids will enjoy the authority that you have placed in their hands and you’ll be the beneficiary of their creativity.

Eilean Donan Castle
May 12th, 2010 by Hayden
Many tourists heading for Britain will include castles as one of their stops. Today I’d like to introduce Eilean Donan to you.
As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish highlands.
