Welcome indeed to 2010 - and I hope you have made lots of travel plans already for the year ahead.
I have a friend setting off for a 6 month trip around South America with a group of his friends, another who is planning to cycle from London to Paris for charity and yet another hoping to drive across Mongolia towards the end of fall.
I have many ideas too, but first lets see what our contributors this month have to offer.
Lets start up with a short one about taking your kids skiing - and lets be honest, there isn’t really a shortage of snow at the moment! So, Skier lets us in on 5 Tips to Take Your Child Skiing.
The next 2 are really arty and rather personal articles about how you can give your child (and yourself) something that you can treasure forever. First off Dan gives s some great advice and tips on creating your very own home movie compilation of your baby’s first holiday with his article: A Truly Priceless Gift for Your Child – DIY 1st Year Baby Video. Obviously you can use any footage you want - and it doesn’t have to be the 1st year only. You could set about making one every year for your kids as they are so simple to make.
Then we hop over to Gloria Daniels, who gives some great ideas for putting together a more decorative scrapbook of your kids vacations. This way you can include entry tickets, snap shots and postcards of the trip in a way you can’t do on video. So take a look at her article: Creating a Kid’s Travel Journal and see which you prefer.
Or instead of taking the kids yourself - let them head of alone! Marjorie Morgan tells an amazing tale of a young girl Jessica Watson - solo sailor on her lone sailing voyage. Take a look at what she has achieved at such a young age.
See you next month!
