[quote=Anonymous]I am willing to try almost anything once, and I learn what works for our family by trial and error.

My preference is to travel Sat to Sat - giving time to pack / unpack on both ends.

I prefer to fly direct when possible.

When traveling with kids, I feel less is more.  We can't see the entire country and go go go all the time, like I could do with adults only.  But I often find that I enjoy taking time to stop and smell the roses and that it's a different kind of trip, but good.  I kind of aim for one "big" activity a day.

I often think I need a vacation, after returning from my vacation, but that's life with kids IMO.

With a time change - I often leave the first full day unscheduled to adjust.  For example, we are going to Hawaii over winter break.  We arrive mid-afternoon on day 1.  I have no plans that day.  Day 2 - no plans until a luau that night - and that's all I'm planning for that day.  I figure if everyone is up for it we can go to a local beach before that.  Through trial an error, I am trying to stay as much on east coast time as possible even with a time, so in Hawaii if that means going to be early and waking up early the whole trip, so be it.  I'll probably try to keep everyone up until at least 8pm on the first day, but maybe I'll consider the morning to start at 5am.
