    Families learn more than just Civil War history in Richmond VA

    ByEileen Ogintz April 29, 2013July 9, 2021

    On Richmond’s Emancipation and Civil War Day held the first weekend of April, I joined hundreds of visitors to take advantage of the open doors of the historical sites and honor the important event in American history.

    Cruise lines keep innovating for family travel market

    ByEileen Ogintz April 28, 2013July 7, 2021

    Royal Caribbean wants you to know they’ve not only got your back but they’ll guarantee you an experience like none other on board a ship. That’s especially the case if you wait 18 months for the new Quantum of the Seas that will sail out of the New York area.

    All-included bounty and excitement from the deep blue sea off Antigua

    ByAndy Yemma April 26, 2013November 10, 2025

    Today we’re back at Curtain Bluff and I’ve decided to take the 6:30 a.m. deep sea fishing charter. The best thing about Curtain Bluff, other than the beauty and just about every other thing, is that it is all-inclusive, so the fishing (along with Scuba, snorkeling, water-skiing and other activities) is part of the price.

    Southern Cal’s beach towns — great spots for your kids

    ByEileen Ogintz April 25, 2013July 7, 2021

    Kids who visit Los Angeles, especially tweens and teens, want to hit the beach and the beach towns are guaranteed to please — no town more so than Santa Monica with its world-famous pier, which has been drawing visitors since it was built in 1908 — the first pleasure pier on the West Coast.

    Families enjoy the all-inclusive activities at Curtain Bluff on Antigua

    ByEileen Ogintz April 25, 2013July 10, 2021

    Rod McCrea likes that Curtain Bluff is not only considerably less expensive in summer but that the all inclusive nature of the property means he not only knows exactly what he is spending but that all of his kids and grandkids can do what they like–tennis and sailing, deep sea fishing and snorkel trips, not to mention all the fruit smoothies the kids can drink—or that their parents will allow them to mix up with the bartenders.

    Back to our honeymoon spot, three grown kids later

    ByEileen Ogintz April 24, 2013July 10, 2021

    Thirty years later, our room overlooks that same windswept beach. As I think about the three kids we did have—and the adventures we shared with them—I’m struck by how this 72-room all-inclusive resort is emblematic of how family travel has changed in the past three decades.

    On Anguilla, a couple aim to make a Caribbean destination affordable

    ByEileen Ogintz April 21, 2013July 10, 2021

    The Ricketts want their little hotel and villa business to show people that Anguilla is not only for those who can afford five-star luxury. The hotel also serves as the island’s unofficial cultural center. In fact, the restaurant is crowded the night we visit with locals and visitors alike for the weekly dance performance that tells the story of Anguilla.
