The travel rants post cracked me up.

Travelling, and life, was so much easier without kids.

I didn’t step on a plane for three years after one transatlantic flight with a crawling 10-month-old and a fidgety two-year-old. Did I mention I was three months pregnant with morning sickness…

THis is a great idea! I’m sure the kids will love it too.

My mom wants a Secure2Me blanket for my brother and his wife. The thing is, they aren’t preggers yet.

DesertMama and I went to Vegas a few weeks back for BlogWorldExpo 08. I really don’t consider Vegas a family destination and personally think it was the worst marketing plan the LVCVB came up with. Circus Circus was just gross when I visited 2 years ago and the AdventureDome looked like all the rides were falling apart and unsafe. As of my recent visit, when we stepped into the Hilton, Star Trek: The Experience had a sign that stated is is closed for good.

However, I would stay one night in Vegas if the family was doing a roadtrip to the Grand Canyon or something. The MGM Grand seemed to be a fun place for families.

Enjoyed the roundup, Jaimie.

Amy – I agree. I am definately going to check the tours out – as long as Mickey doesn’t come along.

Kayt, Kristy – I have DONE the book idea, though not as well as Meg, using Apple photo service. I made a photo book. It was cool. My kids still look at them. About the only thing I’ve ever made them mind you!

Where to eat is a stress?! Really?

Um, not without kids it ain’t.

I love the photo book idea, too. Unfortunately, I doubt I could get one shipped before we leave this month. I may try to hack it with a spiral notebook and all those photo doubles that I never remember to send to the fam.

I really like the photo book idea. Perhaps this is just the thing to get the Mr. involved in trip prep. Currently, he sees his role as more managerial (a la Office Space).

I have read about Disney tours on Traveling Mamas. It sounds really neat. As usual, when you slap the Disney name on it, the price tag is quite high. But I’m sure it’s well worth it. One of these days… :)
