Next year we are taking a 2yr old and a 5yr old to South Africa and Zimbabwe. We will spend around a month there and will hire 4x4. We will be staying in cheap hotels and camping, but would also like to meet local families with similar aged kids. As we are going for a relatively short time do you have any hints on how to go about this?

My wife and I are planning a trip from Santiargo (Chile)
following the west coast of South America to Tierra del
Fuego and then north following the east coast to Buerno
Aires (Argentina). We plan to go most of the way on bikes
with trailers. We have two children (1 and 3 years). We are
looking for advice on almost any subject regarding this
trip. We plan to go oct 98 to april 99.

Hi,
My name is Jamie Cowan and I'm 12 years old. I'm traveling
around the Caribbean in late July and have to take my
parents with me. They're very well meaning but can be
difficult to travel with. If anyone has any advice on how to
keep them occupied, stop them getting jet lagged, keep them
in good spirits etc, that would be cool.
Thanks,
Jamie

My wife and I are considering taking a three-day trip across
Canada this summer with our 2-year-old son. Right now he's a
typical 19-month-old, with boundless energy and enormous
lung capacity, so he can scream extremely loudly. Any
advice? Is a train trip of this length something we should
put off until he's older?

We are traveling to Europe, Seville, Paris, Antwerp, and
more in June with 4 children ages 14 to 21. We are trying
to make choice between train and car, plances to go that are
"group" friendly, and any tips. Our first trip to Europe.
Any advise. PT

We're going to be taking our daughter to NYC in May (she'll
be 15 months, and she's already walking like a fiend. Just
wndering from those who have travelled with toddlers, how do
you let them do what they need without them disappearing,
getting hurt, or putting them on a leash (yech!). Also, if
there are any suggestions for train travel, since we're
taking the rail there, and will be on the tracks for four
days in total.
Many thanks.
Chris

my family (3 kids, 4-8 yo plus 2 adults) are trying to get to Glasgow in the second half of this year for a couple of months. Any advice on cheap clean accommodation - etc. The UK is frighteningly expensive for families - any advice would be appreciated!

My wife and I recently flew accross the country with our two-year-old, and he cried about two-thirds of the time. The worst part was that we had a layover in St Louis, so there were two ascents and two descents, and the change in air pressure hurt his ears like hell. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to alleviate the pain of the pressure changes?
Thanks,
Sal
