My favorite type of trip is someplace overseas, because it provides our family with a totally different experience from our daily lives: different language, food, human interaction, culture, music, etc So we took shorter trips within the United States while the children were growing up, but for longer ones we often went to Brazil (my favorite), Costa Rica or Europe. By doing so, it made them much more open to other people and eager to travel the world, and, more importantly, more sympathetic to the needs of people from other cultures. If well planned, using frequent flier miles, home and hospitality exchanges, etc, it can be even cheaper than traveling within the United States. I have developed such a system to travel inexpensively, that I am seriously thinking of writing a book about traveling overseas on the cheap. If anyone is interested, e-mail me at intermedia7@gmail.com Have a good trip! Boa viagem(in Portuguese)! Bon voyage!

Any road trip to O-Town (Orlando) is the always the best ever road trip there is! Simply because I LOVE DISNEY! We went every year as children and my husband laughs now because I know Orlando better than the actual city I live in! And, now that I try to still take those annual trips to O-Town, it is a MUST to stop at our first Turnpike Plaza on the way and pick up a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato. It is at that very first sip that my road trips to Orlando flood my memory and I become that little girl in the back seat of her parents car trying to contain her excitement because she is going to see Mickey…

My favorite road trip tip is to eat at mom and pop restaurants instead of chain/fast food places.

I think the one thing that saves the most time and money is a cooler filled with drinks, sandwich makings, and snacks. We don’t leave on a trip without one! Thank you so very much for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

My favorite road trip was Central Texas to Boise, Idaho to visit my husband’s parents. We went through Colorado and Utah on the way and the scenery was amazing. A few years later when we divorced my boys suggested we move to Colorado which I did. Spent six years there and went on a road trip to Oregon…guess were we live now!

keep those kids busy on the roadtrip by hooking up a portable dvd player with a playstation or xbox (with your new Black and Decker inverter!)
