Taking your kids on a cruise

by 1 Comment

Taking a family cruise can be a wonderful, enjoyable experience for family members of all ages. If you’re planning on taking the little ones out to sea with you, there are a few things you should make sure to bring along to make the trip much less stressful for you and more fun for them. A little preplanning can avoid any problems along the way and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable.

First of all, it’s a good idea to bring a selection of over the counter medication for your child. Smaller kids can develop a cough overnight, and it will save a lot of sleep and discomfort if you have medication to give them. Children’s aspirin, chewable vitamins, and perhaps a heating pad can also help along the way. Cruise ships will have a selection of baby supplies, like diapers and baby food, available on board, but don’t count on a wide selection or cheap pricing. Try to bring a small selection of various things so you’ll be prepared for whatever crops up. [Read more…] about Taking your kids on a cruise

Golf Vacations: How To Swing It

Golf vacations are of course aimed at dedicated and enthusiastic golfers. However, the style of vacation varies and there are many companies and resorts that offer different types of golfing breaks ranging from a weekend to a whole week or more, and offering programs to suit anyone from the occasional golfer to the person who wants to be out there swinging a club from dawn until dusk.

Often, the package will also cater for family members who do not themselves play, to attract the custom of golfers who cannot get away alone. This can include activities for children, shopping facilities, a private beach, other sports, etc.

If you are traveling with non-golfers you can get a much more peaceful time on the course by involving your family in the choice of resort. It may mean that you do not get to play at your first choice of course this time, but it can be well worth compromising to visit a place that has a sandy beach as well as sandy bunkers.
