I’m sure that it is different traveling abroad, but domestically I don’t find room service or pay per view to be the keys to my kids’ happiness (Although Nickelodean and PBS kids are definately a plus!

Things we love are multi room suites, with kitchen’s are even better. I love spending time with my kids, but we all sleep better when they have their own space, and it’s nice to have some grownup time after the kids are in bed. Many time shares rent out their unused units. We stayed in a Marriott one at Newport Beach and it was heaven! Continental Breakfast is always a bonus. It lets us hang around the hotel for a little bit longer. The kitchen also solves the breakfast problem.

With free wi-fi in so many hotels now, Nick Jr. videos or Hulu can be free or cheap “Pay per view”.

You got me pegged! Our new portable DVD player (region free!) should be arriving in the mail today and I stocked up on sale kid DVDs, stickers and lego men today to hide in the top of my closet until our next trip over the ocean next month…couldn’t live without this stuff!

A recent splurge of mine was really, really expensive Bose headphones for the kids. Holy cats I love those things. No more ear bud angst, and I worry less about the volume (they fit comfortably and block out lots of ambient noise, so they work well at a lower volume).

I’m planning to blog about them one of these days, but until then:
