Each time one of my friends back some time later, I asked: "Was it a trip, or it is a journey?"

When traveling with kids, true vacations are very difficult to find. With the package, car seats, changing sleep schedules and inevitable whining that comes along, it would be easier to stay home (especially if you travel by car.)

Yet travel is important. When we travel, we open ourselves to a world that was previously unknown to us. We touch other cultures and different lifestyles, we are expanding our own point of view and understand, finally, that our little problems are just.

When we travel with children, we open our eyes to all this and more. Even when we take a simple trip to visit distant relatives, we show them a world of love they can not had known existed.

Here are some tips eighteen to help you enjoy road trip traveling with your children.

Before the trip:

1. Use the online travel planning Web sites to locate Kid friendly parks, historic monuments and other attractions in advance. Business Plan at least one facing child every day, even on the days of driving. Involve your children in planning your vacation will help a passion for travel, too.

2. When you do your research and book your destination, consider an all inclusive resort. These types of provisions (in which your accommodation, restaurants, attractions and activities are included) can really help you relax and enjoy your precious vacation time.

3. Have each child pack a backpack with own little books, workbooks, and the activities they most want to make.

4. Have a child travel friendly map on hand, and a pair of binoculars.

5. Consider buying or borrowing a portable DVD player. We did get out on long trips, but it was really helpful, especially if you travel very long distances.

6. Ask each child a special book of games, puzzles, coloring books, or simply just for the reader, and some washable markers.

7. Bring some music that everyone will enjoy singing. We like our CD of songs old campfire. You can even create your own CD of favorite family.

8. Bring a Frisbee or a soccer ball for when you stop at a park. Want to help your kids burn some energy in a reasonable time.

9. Pack healthy snacks such as nuts, trail mix, apples, energy bars and bottled water. A package of baby wipes often comes in handy for small spills in the car, too.

10. Pack a journal and a disposable camera for every child so they can document the trip in their own way. These items can be packaged and given to children that you need a diversion from the boredom, sibling arguments.

11. Be sure to discuss your vacation as is the ultimate adventure. The enthusiasm you bring to the prospect of piling into the car of tomorrow will contribute in ways indescribable.

In the car:

12. If you can, do as much traveling as possible while your children are asleep. Of course, security is paramount. If you are getting any sleep, park and spend with your spouse or find a hotel.

13. If you do not like driving at night or you drive through the campaign you want your kids to see in daylight, make sure to allow enough travel time. Plan a maximum of seven hours of driving per day. Get up early, a little practice, then check into the hotel the afternoon medium to enjoy the pool. Have a nice, relaxed dinner and check a few local sites quietly in the evening.

14. While driving during the day, a plan to stop at least every hour and a half. Stretch, take a few bathroom breaks, and remember that getting there is half the adventure.

15. Finger knitting is really helping my children to pass the time. Just a ball of wool. Th
