terrific ways to make travel with kids easy

Tip of the Week - All Types of Travel Made Easy

If the months ahead include travel plans with your girlfriends, spouse or children, here are some fabulous websites that will make any trip a breeze!

Girlfriends’ Getaway

Holiday Golightly is the quintessential site for planning a treasured trip with girlfriends! This adorable and user friendly site addresses every aspect of a fabulous and personalized vacation. Whether you’re looking for a spa, shopping, dining, nightlife or beach experience, you’ll find specific suggestions here, as well as resources for reasonable flights.

Detailed packing lists, an airport spa directory (for an unexpected delay) and a “Divvy It Up” feature make Holiday Golightly unique. “Divvy It Up” allows members of your party to submit receipts from restaurants, hotels, grocery stores and more for a polite and orderly division!

Babies on Board

One of the most challenging aspects of traveling with a baby or toddler is the shear volume of their supplies! But Jet Set Babies has easily solved this problem! At this site, parents can pre-order basic supplies like formula, diapers, baby food, utensils, bibs, and bath supplies and send them to the family’s final destination! Orders need to be placed about 10 days ahead of a US arrival and 18 to 21 days for a non-US arrival. There is a terrific assortment of products and a gift certificate option, too! Don’t miss the added bonus if you’re headed to a Stellar Villas Property or Wyndham Hotel - an adorable little giveaway for either baby or mom! (jetsetbabies.com)

Traveling Chic

This is truly your “final destination” for trendy luggage and travel accessories! From the practical to the preppy, you can find it all here! Colorful passport covers, retro travel journals, neck pillows and sleep masks in chic patterns are all available. My favorite items, though, are the embroidered packing organizers designed for every member of the family. Each set includes three cinch bags which are embroidered with labels like “shoes,” “laundry” or “lingerie!” (travelingchic.com)
