Is It Safe To Visit Mexico With A Baby?

A lot of people are nervous to bring their little ones to tropical destinations for a lot of reasons – strong sun, possible bug bites, different water… but the latest illness that’s scaring people away (especially from Mexico) is H1N1 or Swine Flu.

It is scary, and the fact that it’s now a global pandemic makes it even more so.  It’s widely believed that H1N1 originated in Mexico and Bonnie wrote to me wondering if it’s safe to bring her baby there…

I love your web site. I especially love people’s reviews on their holidays at specific hotels and destinations. I wanted to ask if you have any info on your site about travelling now that there’s the swine flu. Read more »

Ville de Québec avec un bébé (Québec City With Baby)

With every trip we take with our daughter, I get less and less concerned about how she’ll handle the journey, and how to keep her occupied en route.  This was trip number 6 for her, and at 3.5-years-old, she’s a great little traveler.  Because I was a big chicken (and thankfully I was because that inspired this site), her first trip was at 11mos.  Our little bub made us a family of four, and now at 4mos has 2 trips under his (elasticized) belt – with many more to come!

Why Quebec City?  Well lots of reasons really.  I haven’t seen much of this beautiful country of mine… at just over 2mos. postpartum, I wasn’t terribly eager to hit a beach… and I’ve been totally jonesing for Europe, but that’s just not in the cards right now… I’ve always heard that Quebec City is a little slice of Paris here in Canada, and now I know it’s true.

Guest Post! Berlin With Baby…

I’m delighted to put up our very first guest post!

Tracey went to Germany with her husband and baby boy.  They rented an apartment for part of their stay, and they had a wonderful time.  Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us, Tracey!

Berlin like a Berliner

Last year my husband and I took a trip to Germany with our 8-month-old son. We had extended family there and we felt it was a great time to travel – before the little guy could walk or voice his displeasure with the choice of activities.
