The primary purpose of this blog is to start a discussion about extended family travel with children. My family and I are in the planning phases of a one year trip around the world. On this site, I’m posting all of my collected research to keep a record of it and to hear you opinions. The world is a big place and we hope that you’ll help us explore it!
Before you’re ready to dig in, here’s a few questions that may be wondering:
Why?
Where?
What?

It’s not your typical island or resort, there are no fancy buildings or swimming pools, just Mongolian style tents, called Yurts, right on the beach. This place is beautiful and a great way to see the astonishing beauty of Thailand without destroying it in your wake.
Phuket is a tourists dream, but an eco nightmare, as are many worldwide destinations. This small island is off the west coast of Krabi Province. I first found this place after the Tsunami in 2004, a bunch of us went out to the island to help put up some climbing routes, to draw the frequent “climbers” that come to Thailand. It’s a great place, you do need to reserve your spot, the prices are all inclusive and not as cheap as Tonsai or some other backpacking locations, but a reasonable Thai price… and remember prices are always negotiable.
Good Luck, great idea for a site, I’m sure we’ll be using your data in the future and I can’t wait for Part 2 of the trilogy….the “Travel Blog”, Followed by the “AFTERMATH!”
