One of the best family travel I think is combining a trip to Egypt with an East African Safari. The attractions these two destinations offers is of interest to inter generations, entertaining, educative and will generate discussion topics between the grand parent and the grand kid

The Southern Sierra Nevadas. Kern River, rafting, giant sequoias and more. I makes an interesting side trip from Bakerfield, California, but Kernville is also a destination in its own right. The trip report is now online at The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/23t7b2z

Vow you'd never set foot on a cruise ship? Boorish passengers, long lines and mediocre food -- what kind of vacation is that? Well, if you're a parent, you may want to eat your words.
