#44 Visit The Roman Cats, Rome, Italy: 100 Family Travel Experiences

Of all the amazing things to see in Rome you might ask why on earth I even mention Cats. The reason is simply that my kids love animals and needed something a bit different one afternoon. So we went in search of Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary, a no-kill shelter for homeless cats in the heart of Rome. Here dozens of homeless but cared for cats live among the ancient roman ruins.

#45 Feed the Electric Eels in the Peruvian, Amazon. #100 Family Travel Experiences

I've seen a lot of weird and wonderful things in the world but one of the strangest and most amazing experiences I ever had was a day hike into the Amazon Rainforest to feed electric eels. We first had to go fishing into a "pond" filled with caiman, snakes and more birds than I have ever seen. We were lucky enough to see a pair of the elusive and prehistoric looking hoatzin bird.

A Traveler not traveling

It's been well over a year since we returned from a our "big trip". A year round the world. Before that it was almost a year of planning and preparing for the trip and then after there was a year of relishing in the trip. We also had lots of travels this past year that kept us hopping. Today, I find myself in that lull period. [ 238 more words. ]

Visa Problem for a teacher in New Zealand

My friend is a great teacher for Year 2 students in New Zealand. She is American and was offered the job two years ago when New Zealand needed primary school teachers. Last month she came home for her grandmother's funeral and her visa application was denied because the recent labor and market search suggests their isn't a need for foreign teachers.

#46 Visit the Dingos of Fraser Island: 100 Family Experinces

Fraser Island is a must visit when traveling to Australia. Wild Dingos roam the island and you are sure to see several families within close proximity. Just remember that they aren't friendly. The Island is beautiful and every stop was completely different. We did a guided tour which is typically not our thing but it was great to see everything the Island provided and after seeing the number of people stuck in the sand in their own cars I was really happy we had the super bus.

#47 Visit Amsterdam's Amazing Nemo Science Center: 100 family travel experiences

Amsterdam is an amazing city. Easy to get around whether by foot, bike, taxi or water. There is plenty to do and sometimes it's hard to decide to take time to go see another science museum when there are so many good ones at home. It is my recommendation that you take time to see Nemo. You can't miss the Nemo building. [ 222 more words. ]

#48 Eat in Singapore’s hawker centers: 100 Family Travel Experiences http://wp.me/p3UXYD-10C

Traveling for a year, I often wondered if my kids would adjust to the wide variety of foods they would experience. I have one kid who loves and will try everything and anything and another who generally limits his diet to noodles or rice. Generally, my kids adjusted really well to all the different foods thrown at them. They've tried everything from grubs to gourmet. [ 197 more words. ]

Kentucky basketball fans are dedicated! http://wp.me/p3UXYD-10D

If you have ever been to Lexington, Kentucky you know they are serious about their basketball. How serious?! This video shows the appropriately named "tent city" that forms each October around the University where fans camp for at least three days before the release of tickets to the first University of Kentucky basketball open practice called midnight madness! Yes- you read that correctly - practice! [ 21 more words. ]

#51 Visit Niagara Falls: 100 Family Travel Experiences

Growing up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada one almost takes going to Niagara Falls for granted -what an absolute magnificent experience it is. It's a trip you do with your family, your school and when anyone comes to visit you. I've been so many times I couldn't begin to list them and although I love it every time I see it. I never grow old of waiting in line with my poncho for the ride on the Maid of the Mist (The ferry ride underneath the falls). [ 144 more words. ]
