Barcelona, Spain, Guadi, International
castell montjuicBustling, bold and beautiful Barcelona is possessed of an abundance of culture, art and atmosphere. This Catalan capital nestled in the northeast of Spain on the Mediterranean coast, with the ocean on one side and mountains on the other, is the country’s most popular destination and a great choice for a fun-filled family vacation. Here are my picks for fun things for families to do in this spectacular Spanish city.

Blended Family Mom returns to Peru because she found a better way to experience Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.
Machu-Picchu2Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza captured the most attention during a round of Travel Tuesday Twitter talking Jan. 24. I’ve climbed both, and absorbed their energies: the Peruvian citadel on Easter morning and the Maya pyramid for the Equinox.

   

Train Travel with Kids in China

China TravelingMom
What you need to know to take kids on the exciting adventure of train travel across China.
china train kids soft bedWhat kid doesn’t like trains, and when considering family travel to China, consider doing it by train. Riding a real one across such a vast country as China can be an exciting adventure. I fully recommend booking “soft” beds, as this puts you in a four-bed compartment with a door that closes, sitting toilets and is just generally more comfortable. Kids can enjoy sitting by the windows, eating and watching the world go by.

Suchitoto in El Salvador is one of the last remaining colonial towns that still holds tight to their cowboy heritage.
SuchitotoSuchitoto in El Salvador is one of the last remaining colonial towns that still holds tight to their cowboy heritage. But the best part, it's one of the only villages my family and I ever visited that pulses with an energy that makes you want to stay there forever. Maybe it's the wonderful people, maybe it's the great Lake Suchitlan, or maybe it's simply hanging out in Central Park watching the locals parade on their horses. Whatever it is, we've been back here three times already and are itching to go back for more.
