replying to @loyaltytravels @loyaltytravels @LandLopers At certain ages, I prefer bulkhead, because they can plop down on the ground and play without worry that they'll knock the seat ahead of us. but you're right, not easy to book unless you're a priority flyer #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia @travelskills Love this! I wished I went surfing too! I did do scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, which was amazing! #TravelSkills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet Other than food? Probably something major like a zip line or whale watching. Maybe a Segway ride. A5 #TravelSkills

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet A4 hiking to the public hot springs in #Iceland was a #McCool family favorite. #travel #TravelSkills @cjmcginnis


My first trip to Oz was in the NT - love it there! #travelskills https://t.co/ky6tbGlhYo

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP Let each family member choose an activity for the day so everyone gets to participate and is (relatively) happy #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A5 It’s not an “experience” unless you can Instagram it, right? LOL #TravelSkills


A5 We conveniently asked our editors this VERY question, and their top choices for low to no phone usage are: On safari, eco-resorts (in #Belize & #CostaRica), dude ranches, Galapagos Islands: https://t.co/vRkhEeWefC #TravelSkills

A5: How about playing some of these portable travel games? https://t.co/JbAYKGumYr #TravelSkills


replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers TIP: when traveling with your children, don't let them run loose and spoil other people's vacation and then say they are kids. This is not O.K. You're in control, not the kids #Travelskills Discipline starts at home.

@cjmcginnis @Australia @wendyperrin @mommypoints @juliejarratt 1) Be prepared, we had toys and bottles ready to preempt any meltdowns by our 5 month-old son.
2) Airplane lavs are SMALL when you're trying to change a diaper. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A5 Go back to basics off the beaten path, sans reception! Families wishing to get off the grid can check out Kangaroo Island’s wildlife, take a scenic boat ride through the Cobourg Marine Park, or the Kimberley’s Horizontal Waterfalls. #TravelSkills

A5: Anything animal-related. Also, this introduces kids to the importance of conservation and protecting wildlife. #travelskills

replying to @travelskills
@travelskills A4: Paddleboarding, swimming, tubing, kayaking, scuba diving...need we say more?! There is always something to do when you visit Navarre Beach! #TravelSkills

A5: These kid-friendly activities in Naples and Marco Island are so good, they won't even miss their phones: https://t.co/FrDje1h8EI #TravelSkills

A5 The @Qantas Joey Club Kids Kit has more than enough to keep the kids entertained for hours. #TravelSkills


replying to @Australia @Australia A5 Swimming, whitewater rafting and hiking in remote place without cell coverage work! #TravelSkills

Q5 What experiences are most likely to get kids (and parents!) off their phones? #TravelSkills


replying to @Australia @Australia @travelskills When we took the ferry from Fraser Island we saw dozens of whales breaching! It was AMAZING! #TravelSkills

A3 ❤️African-themed @BuschGardens. Our fav part is vet center where they film @wildlifedocstv. #Park is 1/2 hour from pristine #beaches of #Clearwater/St. Pete @VSPC. @SirataStPete is great #family-friendly #oceanfront #resort. #loveFL #travelskills #travel #familytravel

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A5 A sight, event or place that totally awes someone when they first see it. Whether it be seeing the WTC after stepping out of the Chambers St. Subway station, Yosemite Valley after exiting the Wawona Tunnel or checking out the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills
@travelskills A5 Or spend time in the water! Swimming, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving. Phones
won’t survive! #TravelSkills

A5: A good place to get everyone off their phones is a place with nature! Too often we become so dependent on our phones that we forget about going outside! Road trip anyone? The beach is always a good idea. Photo to @VstGreatOceanRd in @Australia. #TravelSkills


Thanks so much for the plug @GabeSaglie and for being on! #travelskills https://t.co/44pSlhxkZz

A4: Swimming! Especially in refreshing lakes like these: https://t.co/iv0VO92avm #TravelSkills


My favorite #travel partner on a #vacation to #Australia? @reneesaglie of course! Too late to plan this for our 16th #wedding anniversary next week? @Australia @TravelzooAUS #TravelSkills


A6: @BriggsandRiley's Sympatico CX expandable spinners have been life changers! We love that we can pack all the kids toys and clothes all in one place, plus it makes it easier on the way home for all the souvenirs. #travelskills


A5. Experiences that get the family off their phones? Drop their phones in the water while kayaking the Sea of Cortez. #travelskills


replying to @Australia @Australia A6 As mentioned before: Candy and cartoon- and game-packed tablets. But I’m not an expert! #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A6 When flying coach with toddlers, get the Fly Tot (@FlyTotTravel) as it turns an economy or domestic first class seat into a lie-flat seat (it’s a blow-up cushion). #TravelSkills
