Nothing helps get me going for an early morning flight more than a great cup of coffee from Community Coffee, a privately owned, family run Louisiana company that’s been around for more than 90 years.
I make sure that I have a pot of coffee brewing when getting dressed for my early morning travel departures. I prepare my [...]
I can’t travel every day of the year (gasp). I’m a Traveling Mama and that job comes with a big responsibility – being a mama first and foremost. When I can’t travel, I’m dreaming of travel by planning my next trip or taking a mental journey through travel blogs and a good travel book.
Yes, I [...]
Hi Traveling Mamas,
I am taking a trip to Europe, mostly Italy, for a month. I had planned on buying a rail pass and take the bus, but (if I can do this?!) I would rather buy a scooter as soon as I get there and sell it when I leave. How plausible do you think [...]

I’m sooooo over the “bonus camera gear” bag that’s been included with my past two camera purchases. They were black and “blah” and bulky too. Sure, they protect and hold a good bit, but a mama [...]
Where will US travel consumers been spending their vacations this year? ASTA, the American Society of Travel Agents, recently released results of its annual survey of hot travel destinations. The best part about this top destination survey is the information is based on actual vacations booked by consumers, not a list made up by so-called experts.

I’ve had a good number of press releases and information come through the Traveling Mamas’ mailbox. Some things have come via my personal email from friends and colleagues. I love supporting authentic people, so when my Canada e-Connect cohort, Kim Mance, announced that the finalized episode of Galavanting in the Colorado Rockies was ready, I [...]
Cancun is one of the top spring break destinations, but not necessarily the best time of year for a family-friendly visit. This travel ritual is one that US college students may experience at least once in their lives, if for anything more than to observe the craziness. As spring break lovers graduate from college, get married and start families, they [...]
Family travel for children can be fun and exciting, but sometimes the kids get bored on the journey there and back. Packing a backpack full of easy to transport activities can alleviate the ”I’m so bored” argument and keep your child occupied (and the driver sane).
