Great Travel Links for 22 Sept 2008

I didn’t have much time to troll for good links this past weekend (I was covering the NHRA Fall Nationals drag race near Dallas) but here are a few posts of note:

Wendy Perrin of Conde Nast Traveler’s excellent Perrin Post blog is taking last-minute questions for the World Savers Congress tomorrow in New York. The keynote speaker is Queen Rania of Jordan.
Looking for kid-friendly lodgings in Europe? Try Ciao Bambino (more coming about them in a separate blog post.)
Speaking of Europe, look into touring there like a local.
Some good family places in Texas: Houston - home of the final frontier - and spend a week in Austin with the Rookie Moms.
The Travel Savvy Mom has a hilarious view of what happens when kids vacation with their grandparents.
Budget Travel has a nice article about a father and son and New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee (a favorite childhood haunt of my New England-born Sainted Husband.)
Visiting Florida? Here are 10 unusual places to stay, and tips on family-friendly Destin on the Florida Panhandle.
At a recent travel conference, I met a few tourism experts who are getting into blogging. One of them writes a blog for the beautiful “Golden Isles” area on the coast of Georgia near Savannah. Check it out and leave a comment to say hi!
A bit off topic, but if you are interested in writing or illustrating children’s books, there is a Children’s Writing Workshop near Dallas (Arlington) at the end of this month.
Finally, thanks to the current edition of the Carnival of Family Life for featuring our video post about Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque.
