This one's a tough call. There are so many factors to consider: the type of vacation you're looking for (relaxation, sightseeing, activities), the type of locale you want to visit (urban, rural, tropical), and a number of other considerations. Obviously, you're unlikely to discover a backwoods or adventure travel situation that is well suited for a very young child, but if your budget is sufficient, you'll find that many other options are available. For this kind of information, your best bet is to ask those who've gone before. Thus, a good strategy might be to visit some travel-related discussion forums and ask around for kid-friendly recommendations. Check out Lonely Planet's message area, affectionately known as "The Thorn
Tree," and look for the "Kids to Go!" section. Of course, you could turn the equation upside down and visit a parenting site to ask for travel recommendations. One of the best parenting resources on the Web is Parent Soup. There, you can visit the discussion board or live chat areas, or go straight to the Family Travel section. Finally, for a site that gets right to the heart of the matter, check out About.com's Travel with Kids site. Guide Teresa Plowright provides links, articles, resources
about specific destinations (California, Dallas, Paris!), a bulletin board, and an email newsletter for updates to the site. Between the sites mentioned above, you should be able to plan, execute, and enjoy a relaxing vacation for the whole family. And hey, if all else fails, there's always Disneyworld...
