Fun Places To Go



From Teresa Plowright, your Guide to Family Vacations
Just to mix it up a bit this week: we've got your Caribbean summer promotions, your National Parks, your "staycations" (which are meant to be fun, not just staying home); and your babysitters who can help out with a little TLC in NYC.

National Parks Month
July is Park and Recreation Month in the US -- a good reminder about the great vacations to be had in National (and other) Parks. National Parks have some special perks for families: like Park Ranger programs for kids, and free Park Ranger tours, and even some multi-day family adventure programs at a couple of Parks.

Caribbean Summer Deals
Every year, "summer" promotions in the Caribbean offer big savings-- and "summer" often lasts into fall and even into December. Also, some summer sales are island-wide. Check out St. Lucia's summer "Go Bananas" program for families; Curacao's WOW; Cayman Summer Splash, and more.

Finding a New York City Babysitter
If you're traveling to New York City with kids (highly recommended!) you might want to hire a babysitter. Maybe it's for a special grown-up night out, or a splurge at the opera or theater; maybe you need to attend meetings in daytime... Check out this helpful list, brought to you by About.com's Guide for New York City Travel (-- and she's a mom with two young kids, herself.)

Summer Air Travel Tips
Once again, it's that peak season for air travel when the line-ups are long, the flights are packed, and in many cities, rainstorms frequently cause delays and canceled flights... Check out some practical tips, to reduce your risk of delayed flights and other summertime travel blues.
