Are We There Yet?
How to Organize Your Family's Travel Time
By Debbie Williams of Organized Times

Are we there yet? How far is it? I'm hungry! He's looking at me again! If you are in a car for more than 15 minutes with a child, I'm sure you have heard any or all of these questions in your travels. Summer is finally here, and many of you are planning to hop in the car to drive to an exciting destination, perhaps to your favorite theme park, to camp in the mountains, or to visit loved ones seldom seen. But often the thought of spending hour after hour in a small space listening to a constant whining noise gives you the shudders.

By using some of these travel tips, you'll be able to plan a less stressful outing for your own family, and find the courage to do it again next year, too.

When are we going to be there?
Whether your kids are 2 or 12, they are clueless when it comes to space and time. Telling them repeatedly "soon, dear" does not give them any more indication of an ETA (estimated time of arrival) than saying that Christmas is in December to a 3-year-old. They just don't get it.

Satisfy their curiosity by providing them with the rights tools for the job: a map, a compass, and an inexpensive digital watch. Even the smallest of preschoolers will be happy to find North on a compass, not to mention telling the driver he's going the wrong way!

Give your little navigator an atlas or state map, or make a good photocopy of your original one. Highlight your route, placing stickers or stars at scheduled rest stops. Not only does this point the way, but it also takes care of the next two challenges: perpetual hunger while in motion, and boredom. It helps your little travelers to know when and where they will be stopping to stretch and get the wiggles out.
