Vagabonding With Kids Alaska

Don't forget the bear spray. This is foremost in AK Turner's mind as she travels with her husband and two daughters north through Canada, along the Alaska Marine Highway, and ultimately to a tiny, roadless island, accessible only by boat from the nearby town of Sitka. The foursome adapts to island life, where their neighbors are few humans and thousands of giant slugs. With adventures in hot-springs hunting, fishing (kill the fish before filleting), and hiking on rain-forested volcanic islands, Vagabonding with Kids: Alaska provides raucous insight into life on the Alexander Archipelago.

From New York Times bestselling author AK Turner comes the latest installment in her family travel Vagabonding with Kids series. Join the Turner family as they explore America's last frontier - Alaska.

Summary: The Turners are on the road again in a raucous continuation of the Vagabonding with Kids series, exploring Brazil from the Amazon rain forest to Rio's famed Copacabana Beach. But this time the in-laws are along for the ride, and three generations have to survive close quarters, radioactive beaches, and jungle hammocks for accommodations. Armed with little knowledge of Portuguese, but a great appreciation for the Brazilian national drink, the nomadic family finds adventure (and laughter) at every turn.

The experience of traveling and experiencing new places is an amazing learning lesson and a great experience for your children. I mean how cool would it be to have that experience at such a young age? I believe that traveling the world while you are young is important because when those children grow up and get married with their own kids, they won't have the time to have these experiences. Traveling also helps you relate to people. If you are traveling to a place where there are new languages or foods, this helps children relate to those people. You get to understand and see people from a new perspective. Learning new languages, or hearing new dialects, allows you to be able to communicate with so many more people throughout the world, which I find to be so important!This travel guide is meant for people who have kids - and picks out all the great family-friendly aspects of this great state. It covers everything from the quaint small towns to best places to camp.
