Welcome to Travel Stories. Come here to laugh, cry or live vicariously through fellow traveling moms and celebrities. Learn about their adventures traveling with family (and stock up on ideas for traveling with kids) and their momentary bursts of freedom during a romantic weekend or girls’ getaway. Hey, it can’t all be about family vacation travel!
Before kids, (BK), I went tandem hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Twice. First time, my pilot -- a very cute 22 year old Carioca -- forgot his camera. He told me that he would take me again for free. The first time we ran off the cliff together (literally) to start our ride, I closed my eyes. That’s how frightened I was. 
Every summer my beloved state of Vermont gets an influx of tourists. I can't blame them. Vermont in the summer is a beautiful place and while we may be known for our snow and skiing, Vermont summers are truly some of the most picturesque that I have ever witnessed. 
I’ll never forget the first time I traveled as a mom, my baby girl was 3-months old and we had a 2-week vacation planned. We were spending a long weekend seeing the sights in San Francisco, 5 days snowboarding in Park City, then a week in San Diego visiting family. Looking back, I guess that was kind of an aggressive itinerary. 
What is it about traveling that puts me into a twilight zone of sorts in the week before I leave? Anxiety starts to set in, telling me that I won't get enough work done before I go. I won't remember to pack something important. I won't have time to get the pedicure that I so desperately need as my toes see sunshine for the first time in months. I won't, I won't, I won't.
