My grandparents took me camping all over Southern Africa and the Comores when I was a kid, and those trips are some of the best memories I have. Its not always easy travelling with kids I'm sure, but it'll be worth it. Thanks for the article and giving new hope to us "ballies" !

Travelling with your kids is the best way to bring you back down to earth. To see things from a much simpler and less complicated point of view. I recently did a 16 hour road trip with my 7 year old son from sydney to surfers paradise and was amazed at the things he found most interesting. When people asked him what he remembered most about the trip, he replied " the caravan park cause i made lots of friends". Those are the things we sometimes forget as adults, that it is not so much about the places you see but about the people you meet. He does go on to mention that he also remembers the bush toilets but in the middle of summer anyone would. Brilliant idea. Travelling with your kids is the best way to bring you back down to earth.

It was not until I began homeschooling my children that I realized it was on those trips that the most valuable education we were to recieve had taken place. The one thing I feel I have been remiss in as far as my children's education is travel. I agree that folks should always travel with kids and listen to them, because children frequently have better ideas than us and dispense their fair share of sage advice. See? Mine have raised me well! My parents took my six siblings and me cross country for six weeks each summer for 10 consecutive summers.
