Travel Tips Travel for Kids
    Fall is here, kids are back in school, but weekend trips are always fun, and it's time to start planning international trips for December holiday season.
     

Kids love to pick apples, and enjoy apple treats - apple cider doughnuts, apple cake, warm apple crisp with ice cream. Two of our favorite areas are Apple Hill in California, and Lexington & Concord orchards outside Boston.

     

Christmas season in Europe is unforgettable. Check out out blog posts below.

     

Weather has become more extreme year round, causing travel disruptions. For your planned family vacation, make backup plans.

      Be sure to have your airline app for notifications and changes in your plane schedule, and family carry-on bags with everything you need, in case flight is delayed.
      Another essential app for live flight information is FlightAware.
      If you have connecting flights, research hotels near the airport in advance, in case you are stuck overnight. Read our blog post Stay overnight at the airport.
     
     

Before and during your trip, check the weather conditions for your destination. In the United States, website weather.gov has most accurate information.

      Also, check the NPS website or app for alerts. Wildfires and bad air quality can cause park closures in US this season.
