Planning the perfect family vacation often involves talking to other travelers. Simply reading through all of the available advertisements and brochures doesn’t always give you a true idea of what the destination is like. After all, those things are put together in an effort to draw you in and to get you to spend money. That’s why I like to visit forums and share idead with other people.
Today, I learned about a new travel forum, which you can see check out at http://www.lmvr123.com/forum/. It’s pretty new, so there isn’t a whole lot on there yet, but I am sure it is going to get busy rather quickly! I am going to head over there to see what types of conversations I can get going – Care to join me? See you at the forum!

After a visit to the Smoky Mountains, your child should have a great appreciation for nature. That makes this the perfect time to discuss what you can do as a family in order to help protect nature.
If you haven’t done so already, use this as an opportunity to discuss the importance of recycling. Talk about deforestation and how animals are going extinct as their habitats are destroyed in order to make new goods that could have been made with recycled goods. Ask your child to come up with a plan for the family for improving your recycling habits. Not only does this help get your child thinking in a more worldly manner, it also gives him or her some ownership into the project. By giving your child ownership, he or she will be more likely to follow through with the plan.
You can extend this concept further by asking your child to develop a plan that could be used by your entire neighborhood or community. Who knows, you might be able to start an initiative that will get a whole group of people working toward better protecting the environment!
