Shanghai Mamas Travel in China

Thursday, July 3rd 2008

Author: Lynne Wymore Moo

My husband moved to Shanghai for his job.

I moved to Shanghai to travel.

In the pre-baby days, we organized our vacation time down to the minute. We analyzed each of our allotted holidays, layered them over our given time-off, and maximized each minute. We jumped planes all over the world. We spent no more than 3 days in any given city. We walked everywhere. We slept as little as possible. And within hours of the plane hitting the ground in our home town, we were back at our desks earning cash for the next plane trip.

And then baby #1 came along.

And then baby #2 came along.

And the plane trips came to a screeching halt.

With both babies born and sleeping through the night, our feet began to itch again. And rather than plane hop from the states with two babies in tow, we just up and moved to China. And every holiday and vacation day we get, we’ll either be on the road or in the air.

But, as you’ve all realized, traveling with little ones takes a lot of planning and a very different style. I’ll share every child-friendly establishment I find, and every destination worth your time and trouble. I’ll explain any tricks for keeping kids happy en route, and any products worth their price tag.

I need your help. Please send me all of your travel tips, child-friendly destinations, even itineraries from your successful vacations. No need to be a good writer - if you can find time to email me the facts, I can present it to all of those other mamas and babies whose feet are itching.
