I think we’ve all been there: Booked the trip, packed everyone’s bags, finally got to the beach, and it’s not exactly what you expected. When you are traveling with a family (especially when your kids are young) you need to know what your beach vacation has in store. Orbitz.com has just released a new tool that will help you plan those summer family beach trips:
The Ideal Beach Finder
Click the link above and you’ll be asked to identify who’s traveling (ie. family with kids), you’ll choose your preferred activities, and identify hotel features and amenities you want. You also can modify your results based on region and sort results by price, location, and hotel star rating… and voila ! Recommendations based on your preferences pop up. Try it out!
You’ll also find Orbitz.com coupons here >

101 Place You Gotta See Before You’re 12
This book isn’t about trotting the globe in search of adventures, it’s about helping kids find treasures in their own backyards. Some of the adventures: going to your parent’s office, trying food from another culture at an ethnic restaurant, and checking out the backstage at a theater. You’ll find ideas for fun outings as well as creative activites to engage your children at home.
This is a great book to tickle your children’s imagination this summer.
