This winter I went to Portofino Bay in Orlando, Florida at Universal with a friend. This excellent replica of the real Portofino Bay in Italy is abounding with great places to just relax and recharge. The restaurants are plentiful and all the food we ate at all of the restaurants was superb.

Nancy from Family Travel Network is joining us again to day to talk about great kid-friendly destinations and resorts. If you missed her first post on Tips for Traveling with Young Children check it out.
We’ve been covering family travel online since 1995 and we’ve found so many family-friendly destinations and resorts. Often, the right one for each family will depend on their children’s ages and the family’s interests. Some family favorites in the U.S. are:

We have a special guest blogger today - Nancy from the Family Travel Network and she is giving you tips for traveling with young children. Later this week she will be discussing kid friendly resorts and destinations. Here are some tips from the expert:
Sign your little one up for frequent flyer programs. It’s amazing how fast those miles will add up.
Schedule flights that coincide with your child’s nap schedule. If it’s going to be a very long flight, red-eye overnight flights also work out well.

My wife and I never thought of ourselves as all-inclusive resort people, but what started as an easy honeymoon after hectic wedding planning turned out to be one of our best vacations ever.
We stayed at the Barceló Colonial Beach in the Riviera Maya, and then spent a few days in Cancun taking advantage of the many great restaurants. Booking through NWA WorldVacations was considerably cheaper than reserving with a resort directly, never mind the flight.

Where to go for a quick 4-day weekend trip to celebrate our anniversary? Back to our honeymoon town of San Antonio, Texas, of course! My husband of 17 years and I escaped the cold temperatures of Nebraska this past February to head south to the friendly state of Texas.
Having been too busy at work for far too long, and in Minnesota for a very long winter, my wife and I decided to get away for 5 days the last week of March/first week of April. I had been to Mexico several times for work, but never really for vacation and my wife just loves Puerto Vallarta, so that is where we decided to go. Mexico vacations are a great way to easily escape winter and get a great jump start into spring.
Thank you to everyone who has sent in your vacation stories. We enjoyed reading all of the submissions and seeing your photos! The contest has ended and we are currently going through the process of selecting our lucky winner, stay tuned to see if you won!
Here are a few of the great stories we have received:
One of our Blog readers, Edward Y., has submitted a travel story to us. This is his memory of flying on Northwest Airlines 55 years ago. The photo also tells this wonderful story.
Edward’s Story:
My first airplane flight was on NWA. On June 24, 1954, my two brothers and I took our first flight on Northwest Airlines. We were unaccompanied by an adult and flew from the Manila, Philippines to Okinawa, Japan to join our parents.
I was 8 years old, and my brother Mario was 5 and my brother Rene’ was 3 (almost 4) years old. Rene’ may possibly be the youngest passenger to fly on NWA without an adult companion.
