Travel Tips

Here are some ways to get through vacation with a little bit of your sanity intact:

There are two different anxieties at play when you pack your kid off to camp for the first time. One, your child’s anxieties about fitting in, making new friends, being homesick, having a good time. But those anxieties may pale in comparison to your own anxiety of being a parent and sending your kid off to fend for him or herself. (I would like to point out that there are many kids who may jump on the bus, offer a quick wave and return smiling a month later. Count those blessings!)

The best piece of advice I've ever heard is that plane travel ends when the plane touches down and then you never need to see any of the passengers ever again. 

With vacation time in full swing, families everywhere are getting into their cars and hitting the road. While most of the planning goes into where you're going, we're looking at how to get you there with your sanity intact.
