    For 2,000+ mile round-trip drivers only!

    We roadtrip almost everywhere. With 5 sons, it's too costly to fly. We're heading down to WDW in February from Duluth,MN, and figure the gas will cost about $250 or so. Last time we drove straight through, but we won't do that again. On the way home, we drove 12 hours one day, 13 the...

    Car seat quandry......long and rambling

    Florida law requires kids under 6 to be in carseat. Is this enforced?

    When we went 2 weeks ago, we brought the bottom portion of the Gerry booster seat (we never use the top section of it after reading on the NTSB site about boosters being safer when used with a seat belt so kids can't fall out in a rollover accident-- but that's another story!). Anyway, we have...

    Travelocity/L&M price switch
