Product Description
Family trips are the most popular form of leisure travel, and according to recent research, the current trend of multigenerational and family-friendly getaways will continue to grow. To answer the need for an authoritative, creative, and practical travel planner, National Geographic and Susan Magsamen, a leading parenting expert, have joined together to create this must-have guide. Chock full of ten-best lists, sidebars, maps, and more, this is the perfect resource for planning a week-long vacation with grandparents, a dream trip across the country, or a short getaway close to home.

Each chapter is full of the practical travel information, resources, and itineraries needed for vacation planning. Sidebars tell how to prepare for the trip, list what to take, and share advice and tips from parents and experts. Organized regionally and thematically, from the local (best neighborhood parks, movie theaters, and ice-cream shops) to the national (best adventure vacations, living history experiences, and city explorations) to the international (itineraries for Cape Town, London, Vancouver, and Hong Kong), this entertaining and informative guide will inspire families to experience the perfect trip together.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Travel Book That First Asks Families: Why do you want to hit the road?, March 20, 2009
This review is from: The 10 Best of Everything Families: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers (National Geographic 10 Best of Everything Families) (Paperback)
Times are tough and millions are thinking about cutting out travel this year -- but doing something with your family, even if it's a one-day drive to a regional destination is well worth the effort. And, yes, I know that families come in various shapes, sizes, ages and blended generations.

Here's a big, thick, idea-packed resource book from the family-friendly and globally savvy folks at National Geographic. If you can't find something in this book that moves you to hit the road, then nothing will budge you!

There are many great new travel books out there right now. (I also strongly recommend Frommers 500 Places to See Before They Disappear.) What I like about this new National Geographic book is that it's not organized by place -- it's organized by traveling motivation!

For instance, do you travel...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality You'd Expect from Nat'l Geographic, May 21, 2009
This review is from: The 10 Best of Everything Families: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers (National Geographic 10 Best of Everything Families) (Paperback)
This book is a gem! It's a treasure trove of information, but it also has to be mined, because there is so much here.

It's from National Geographic, so the pictures are gorgeous, and the organizational structure is perfect. The items (below) are listed regionally or topically, but everything is cross-indexed in the back by state, making it perfect to even use on the fly if you are on a driving trip anywhere in the U.S.

There are "everyday travel" bests such as

* ice cream
* regional specialties
* parks

Getaway bests include

* reunion spots
* fishing trips
* museums
* state parks
* roller coasters
* author's homes
* zoos

But that's not all -- the book is also jammed with general info on traveling, including a whole chapter on ways to document and remember your trip, and a resource section with information about trip-planning and packing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, March 22, 2009
By 
GoodEnoughMom (Rhode Island, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 10 Best of Everything Families: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers (National Geographic 10 Best of Everything Families) (Paperback)
What I like about this book is the way it reminds me of simple things that make a trip memorable for kids. At this phase of our lives we don't have time or money for luxury travel. But we're on the road a lot for family weddings, college visits, sports events. This book gives me ideas for little places to stop along the way and turn the "commute" into a mini vacation. The ice cream recommendations especially bring a smile to my face!
