Kids on Board ? Tips on Having a Stress-free Road Trip

A road trip can be a lot of fun, especially when you are on your way to a destination that you have never been to before. It is indeed an enjoyable ride to be able to appreciate the magnificent sceneries and fantastic views that you may pass by along the way. You even have the option to put the trip to a halt first and take pictures with the rest of the gang with the splendid sights as background. These are indeed memories that are worth keeping and reminiscing as time passes by. However, a good road trip plan may be put to a test if you have a couple of kids on board. As expected, this may turn out to be a riot if not addressed properly. Here are some of the tips that can help you reducestress on a supposed fun-filled road trip with kids.

Eliminate Boredom

The long road to the end point can be tough on kids. Consider yourself lucky if they are asleep during the span of the road trip, but more often than not, kids will stay awake as they do not want to miss out on anything significant that may happen. Thus, it would be best to have an immediate solution once tantrums strike. To eliminate boredom of kids, you can have themplay with toys or gadgets – dolls and stuffed toys for girls, or video gaming console and playing cards for boys. This will definitely keep them busy during the course of the trip.

Prepare for Car Sickness

Not all kids can appreciate traveling long hours as some may feel dizzy as the road trip progresses. It is but normal for kids to have motion sickness, thus it would be best to prepare a small bin when one feels like vomiting. There are also available medicines nowadays that can be given to kids to ease dizziness while travelling. Make sure that you have one ready to gain peace of mind during the trip.

Bring Bathroom Essentials

Kids can be a bit unpredictable at times that you will never when they will have to go to the bathroom. In a road trip, this can be a bit of a challenge, especially if the next rest stop is still a few kilometers away. This is the reason why it would be best to bring a travel potty so that kids will be able to “wee” or “poop” when needed.

It is also a must to be extra croadareful when driving as there are kids on board. To prevent experiencing road problems such as flat tire or engine failure, make sure that you have the car checked on a local car maintenance facility and perform repairs as needed. But then again, you can always count on Danish roadside assistance (the term in Denmark itself is Autohjælp i hele Europa) if something unexpected happens. Danish roadside assistance can offer you with solutions to any car problems. It is also a good thing to note that the Danish roadside assistance can also dispatch a tow truck so the car can be brought to the nearest car repair shop. Indeed, Danish roadside assistance can deliver excellent help during road trips.

A Road Trip Through the Mountains

Starting in the North Georgia Mountains is a type of vacation that few think of doing these days, it’s called the road trip. Southern Highroads Trail is one of these driving vacations. Located in the Southern part of the Appalachian Mountains is a route through 13 counties and 4 states (including Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina). It’s a collaboration of all the Chambers of Commerce, the states’ tourism boards, and the retailers of this area.

Through a map of the region (available by requesting a brochure) your road trip unfolds before you as you can pick and choose wherever you’d like to go. Along the route is lodging (including cabin rentals, bed & breakfast inns, and motels), restaurants, shopping, attractions, museums, state parks, hiking trails, whitewater rafting adventures, and kayaking. The beauty of this type of holiday is your ability to be spontaneous but still maintain a route.

What could you expect to see on the Southern Highroads Trail? Let’s take a look:
The Gateway to the Trail is Alpine Helen, which is located in Helen, GA and a re-creation of an old German town. As expected, they throw a fun loving Oktoberfest every year (Walhalla in South Carolina does as well, and are also located on the trail). While not in the month of October, Helen has a lot of fine dining and shopping to experience and some fun family activities.

Blue Ridge, GA is well-known for it’s beautiful region… but did you know about the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway? You can pull your car over and let someone else drive you in a locomotive on the historic Marietta and North Georgia Railline. The trip takes around 3 hours, but stops in the quaint downtown area of McCaysville, GA.
If lakes are your thing, you could always travel along to Lake Blue Ridge or Lake Chatuge. Along Lake Chatuge is The Ridges Resort & Club which is a luxurious resort located in Hiawasee, GA. It has 5 restaurants, golf courses, walking trails, marinas, and much more. Spend a few days there and head back on the trail for your next destination.

If rafting is your thing, there’s plenty of opportunity to do so on the Southern Highroads Trail including Ocoee River in Tennessee, the Chattooga River in Georgia, and Nantahala in North Carolina. In order to begin your whitewater rafting adventure, see the website or your brochure to see where these places are located along your route.

For a little downtime visit one of the many wineries or vineyards along the way… or you could make your entire Southern Highroads adventure a wine tasting event (don’t worry, there’s plenty of lodging near by the vineyards!). You could begin in Georgia at Habersham Vineyards or Crane Creek Vineyards and then head over to North Carolina to visit Valley River Vineyards in Cherokee County and stop by a quaint micro-winery called Calaboose Cellars also located in Cherokee County.

I’ve barely scratched the surface that everything the Southern Highroad Trails cover. There’s horseback riding, hiking trails, antiquing, agri-tourism (such as farms and orchards), marinas, fishing, and golfing. And it’s all along the trail so no matter where you start and where you end, there’s something to do along the entire way.

For more information visit The Southern Highroads Trail on their website (http://www.southernhighroads.org) and from there request a brochure to get your driving holiday started!

Russian River Canoe Trip Ideal for Families

People of all ages will enjoy a gentle canoe trip down the Russian River, one of California’s most scenic bodies of water.

The Russian River flows through such famous Wine Country destinations as Geyserville and Healdsburg before it makes its way out to the sea through gentle hills covered with thick redwood forests and teaming with rare birds and other wildlife. About a 10-mile stretch of the river from Forestville to Guerneville is ideal for calm-water canoeing or kayaking and a local company called Burke’s Canoe Trips helps make it even easier by providing canoes, kayaks and a shuttle service that will return you to your car near Forestville.

The Russian River, in this case, is not exactly the “rushin’” river. If you’re looking for a lot of fast water and river rapids, there are other California rivers that will fill that bill, but not this one. In fact, the water here is so tame that it’s really not all that good for inner-tubing because in some parts you can’t keep enough forward motion without a lot of paddling. For that reason, canoes and kayaks — which seem to glide over the water with little effort — are ideal.

It’s not that you won’t get a few thrills. As the people from Burkes’ Canoes told us, there is just enough fast water to make things interesting. There are a few points in the river where channels of current can carry you into tree branches along the shore, or get your canoe turned around in a whirlpool if you don’t guide your canoe to the right area. But the good news is that, even if you flip, the water’s relatively warm, not very deep and you’ll be carried forward to a calm area in literally just seconds.

We opted for a canoe on our trip down the river and were advised to keep all of our cameras or anything that could be water-damaged in a safe water-tight plastic bag. We also had been told to wear our swim suits, and were required to wear lightweight life-preservers. Looking at the calm water near the launch area, it almost seemed silly to worry about flipping over and we were wondering why there was so much emphasis on preparing to get wet.

We put a cooler full of drinks and sanwiches in our canoe and set off somewhat tentatively on our journey. Canoes are inherently unstable – at least if you haven’t been around them for awhile – and it took us a few minutes to get comfortable with our balance and to get some confidence we could maneuver properly. But alas, our Boy Scout training soon kicked in just fine even though it had been decades – and probably a 20 percent weight gain — since we had last put paddle to water.

]]>

Within about two minutes we faced our first challenge – avoiding a fairly fast river current pushing everything toward the wooded right shore. We aimed our canoe to the left bank, paddled quickly and managed to coordinate our front and rear paddles just enough to avoid the hazard. It wasn’t a perfect approach, but it was a confidence builder. We looked forward to honing our paddling skills as we faced new challenges further down the river.

Soon we were into a calm stretch of water, barely moving but only requiring a gentle paddle to keep making good forward progress. This was when we really started to take in the natural beauty of the river – the thick forests of giant trees and the continuous ballet performed by the birds of the Russian River such as the Great Blue Heron and osprey. Along the way we would see turtles and deer as well. We also enjoyed paddling by the charming vacation cabins that are perched above the river in many strategic locations along this stretch of the Russian. Spectacular bridges span the river at various points although most of this float was away from the highway, making it feel even more remote than it actually is.

We spent the next four hours or so alternating between negotiating some of the stronger currents – or what you might call very small rapids — and quietly paddling on a beautiful blue-sky spring day. We stopped only for a few minutes to have a sandwich on a spectacular sandy beach – although we’re told most people linger at these beaches to swim, sunbathe and just hang out with their fellow travelers for hours on end.

After mastering maybe a dozen fast-current bottlenecks and with less than a few hundred yards to go to our finish, we were feeling supremely confident that we had regained the canoeing prowess of our youth. And then the unthinkable happened: we flipped. We had run aground in some shallow water and momentarily forgot that you don’t dislodge a canoe by shifting your weight. Yes, we did get a little wet, but we weren’t really cold on this bright sunny day and we were able to retrieve our belongings in short order.

Our pride was wounded. But we did feel better later when the Burke’s Canoe people told us that fully one half of their customers flip at some point along this seemingly calm and idyllic stretch of river.

Nearby accommodations

Back in our car, we now drove the 10 miles back down to Guerneville where we would spend the night. With parks and trails and redwood scenery all just minutes from downtown, Guerneville is a popular destination for outdoors enthusiasts as well as those who love the charm of colorful small towns. Guerneville has a quiet Main Street – much busier on weekends – that offers a number of crafts shops and hometown restaurants. We enjoyed taking a couple of drives outside of town to places like Armstrong Woods with its trails through deep redwood forests. Many visitors drive just a few miles down to Jenner where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean.

We spent the night at the West Sonoma Inn and Spa, a stylish group of buildings at the edge of Guerneville where the resort takes advantage of the natural redwood scenery and nearby vineyard views. The innkeepers here have gone the extra mile in providing a lot of extras for guests that often are not found in small-town lodging facilities – plush beds, fireplaces, granite counter tops, wet bars, private decks and mini-kitchens. Our unit was unusually spacious and, because of a more spread-out configuration, each unit seemed quite private and very quiet. Grounds were richly landscaped and maintained.

A light European breakfast is offered at the West Sonoma Coast Inn that includes gourmet organic coffee, juice, fresh fruit and pastries. Prices at the inn start at less than 0 which, today, is a bargain in a highly desirable tourist area. That’s especially true when you realize that the inn is considered by many to among the best and most luxurious lodging options in Guerneville.

AT A GLANCE

WHERE: The Russian River is in Sonoma County and the put-in point for Burke’s Canoe Trips is about 70 miles northwest of San Francisco.

WHAT: Burke’s Canoe Trips have been popular with couples and groups of all sizes for decades and are self-guided trips down a 10-mile stretch of the Russian River. The company furnishes the canoe and safety gear and then picks you up in their shuttle bus at the end of your trip, near Guerneville.

WHEN: The trips start each year at the end of May and continue throughout the summer. Weather is generally sunny and in the 80′s.

WHY: Russian River canoe trips are a great way to see river scenery in a spectacular part of California where you’ll enjoy both redwood forests and abundant wildlife. It’s also a social experience since many people do the trip in groups.

HOW: For more information on Russian River canoe trips, phone 707-887-1222 or visit www.burkescanoetrips.com.

Variety Shopping Online

Online shopping is now safer than ever and a great way to save both time and money. Online shopping makes it easier than ever to compare prices and save you big time, leaving you more money to spend on yourself.
Some people still hesitate to spend money on the internet for fear of identity theft. Although that is still a very real threat, you are more likely to have your card number stolen at a gas pump. However it is always better to be safe than sorry, so always checkout the site, does it look professional? See if the site has a pay pal link as pay pale is a secure link and is more than likely a legitimate web site. Don’t forget to checkout the web site’s return policy, if it doesn’t have one then don’t shop there.
Shopping online is nothing new, it has been around for years, however there are still some people that have never tried it for one reason or another. Now -a-days almost everyone has a computer or at least has access to one. In addition, online shopping is usually much less expensive than shopping in a local retail store. This is because online companies don’t have to pay for retail space or in-store employees, they have much lower overhead costs, which mean they don’t need to jack up prices to make a profit. Many online shops also have a “sale” or “clearance” section where products are marked down even further, plus many online stores have low or sometimes even free shipping. Other than the savings you will incur, online shopping has other benefits such as ease, comfort, and convenience. When shopping online, you’ll never need to fight for a parking space, where you vehicle is just a target for run-away shopping carts, wait in extremely long checkout lines, and walk through mazes of shopping aisles trying to find one single item that may or may not be there.
Millions of people shop online every day, including myself, here are just a few trusted that have guaranteed low prices that you can browse through with ease that I use on a regular basis. Enjoy Variety shopping online.
