Travel Tips

Family travel doesn’t have to be stressful. According to Dan Kaiser, vice president of operations, Kidco., “When you have lightweight and easy to use gear for your little ones, it makes the experience that much more enjoyable for everyone.”

 

Here is some infant- and kid-friendly travel gear to help make travel a breeze:

 

PeaPod Prestige

As a new addition to the popular PeaPod line of children’s travel beds, PeaPod Prestige is recommended for children 1–4 years old. It automatically pops open for use and quickly folds up to store in its own carrying bag. Other great features include full mesh sidewalls for visibility, air flow and blocking insects; sun shades that roll up and store with a quick-lock magnet; and sewn-in toy loops to create an instant activity center with your child’s favorite toys.

 

GoPod Travel Activity Seat

Parents love the GoPod Travel Activity Seat when taking a break on hikes, enjoying time by a campfire, keeping toddlers happy and keeping an eye on little ones when preparing meals. The GoPod is only 7 pounds and easy to carry around. The attached floor pad keeps the baby’s feet on a clean surface, while four adjustable height legs allow the seat to grow with the baby. There is also a snack and drink holder and five nylon hoops to attach your baby’s favorite toys.

 

PeaPod Camp

The lightweight indoor/outdoor PeaPod Camp is a travel bed that can be used as an alternative to a travel crib. The PeaPod Camp is a lightweight and foldable tent recommended for children 1–6 years old. It can be easily set up for nap time or playtime in a shady enclosed spot.

Dude Ranch Experience Coming to Historic Arizona Golf Resort

Later this fall, family travelers are invited to experience one of Southern Arizona’s hidden gems in a true dude ranch setting. Otero Ranch at Tubac Golf Resort & Spa opens for the season Nov. 15, presenting an experience by True Ranch Collection that will feature exclusive dude ranch adventures, such as horseback riding and hiking along the Santa Cruz River valley, playing a round of golf at the 27-hole championship course, trying 3-D archery, exploring the town of Tubac, touring historic Tumacacori Mission, and relaxing at the resort’s spa or pool.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.

Houses from the 16th and 17th centuries line the seawall in a tight-packed row, the colorful shutters brightening the stone facades. For travelers, Le Conquet is more than just a picturesque Breton town; it’s a good base for a family beach holiday.
