As an avid reader and armchair holiday maker, I am always keen to read the latest on travelling with kids. I look forward to the latest editions of family travel magazines such as ‘Out & About with Kids’ (see Little Gulliver in ‘Whats Hot’ p24 Winter 2010) and ‘Holidays with Kids’. Still, there is nothing like a good book to go through – marking pages and using them as a base for some further research and bookings. I rarely travel anywhere without at least one guidebook! I find they are a great starting point if you need a map or ideas during your stay. They are also great to go through at night with some brochures you’ve picked up (you’re able to check for advice – is that fort really as good as it sounds and does it have an atm)?!
The following are two of my favourite family travel companions. (Both are available for purchase from the Little Gulliver Book Shelf at www.LittleGulliver.com.au).
