With travel increasingly connected to danger, terrorism, checks, controls and borders, if not walls – after we tore down all the walls, they’re right back to building them again – not to mention the airlines dreaming up new fees and restrictions by the hour, it’s easy to see how traveling with kids can be an extra-special complex and stressful experience. I imagine Allsion Umbricht’s book meets a big need out there – which will only get bigger as the economy continues to improve.

Excellent travel tips Allison! I especially liked the information about how to minimize the impact of arriving at hotels with kids. We traveled quite a bit with our children and I wish your book had been available to us at that time for our travels. Good luck! – craig

Glad I don’t have worry about traveling with kids any more, but I bet that this book can really help. I did like the part about the snacks at the hotel. Nice idea. Great interview Michelle. You covered so many things about the book in such a short time. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
