[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typically one week overseas (we've been to Argentina, Italy, Morocco recently), a week in Orlando with 3-4 days Disney (my kids are 6 and under), one week driving to visit relatives, and 8 3 day weekend trips.[/quote]

Those are some long flights for just a week. Why wouldn't you cut a few of the weekend trips and spend 10-14 days in your overseas destination? You've probably barely recovered from jetlag in Morocco before you'd be turning around. [/quote]

+1, who flies with kids under 6 to Argentina only to spend 4-5 days? Seems ridiculous. We generally schedule our overseas travel for June or August so that we can spend 10-14 days without disrupting school schedules. We also prefer destinations with shorter flights from the East Coast, at least until our kids are older -- Western Europe mostly, where we can get direct flights fairly easily and the time difference won't be egregious.

When we only have a week, we will either do something in North America. Some fun trips have included[b] NoLa (surprisingly little kid friendly)[/b], LA or SF, Pacific Northwest, Mexico City, Jamaica, Montreal/Quebec City, the Yucatan, a bunch of different Caribbean islands.

For weekends we do NYC, Chicago, Charleston, or Maine. We like destinations with a beach so we can do a beach day and a city day during a 3-4 day weekend (love Charleston for this).

I hate Florida. Never taken the kids to Disney and they've never asked.[/quote]

Please say more. [/quote]
