Finding More Fun: Carnival of Family Travel, 07/01/2009 | Travels with Children.
Lots of fun family travel posts this week!
How To Plan A Read Across America Road Trip.
Here’s a great post on resources to use when planning a road trip across the States. What could be better than taking the homeschooling show on the road?
I have to admit, I’m jealous of the literary resources. The only Aussie book I can think of off the top of my head is “Are we there yet?”
Top 20 iPhone Travel Apps – National Geographic Adventure Magazine.
A fairly ordinary list IMHO. I’ve added a comment with a few more of my favourites. I think they really missed the boat by not having any Trip It integrated apps. I LOVE Packing (heh, I upgraded to Packing Pro). I think that should have rated a lot higher!
Disney on a dime: yes, Mouseketeers, you can do it.
Ok, we don’t normally think of ‘Disney’ and ‘Budget’ in the same sentence. It’s good to see some reporting that now is a great time for travel bargains and some really helpful hints.

Infant among passengers injured as Qantas flight hits turbulence | Herald Sun.
This is really interesting to us because in the weekend SGM and I were just discussing clear air turbulence with the kids. You can see really good definitions of the different types of turbulence on the Australian Government Civil Aviation Safety Authority. Basically clear air turbulence is turbulence that occurs without any warning at all. Also it is generally more severe at the rear of the plane. The CASA recommend that passengers keep their seat belts fastened even when the seat belt signs are turned off. The thing I find most disturbing about the effects of turbulence is that children under two, infants and babies are often travelling without their own seat. In this news article, an infant was one of the people who were injured. Surely infants and babies need as much, if not more protection than adult passengers?
