Remember that time you went on a Contiki tour to Europe and had the most hazy, yet incredibly amazing time of your life?
Granted, your liver almost called it quits and broke up with you, and most mornings were spent recovering from too many shots of Ouzo. You probably don’t remember any of your trip, except for one thing – it was f**king awesome.
Yeah, don’t we all.
These days, pub crawls and hostel brawls have turned into endless trips to Disneyland and other amusement parks that all look the flipping same. You can probably name every single character that Disney has ever invented, and you’ve probably met Mickey Mouse in person so many times, that you probably wished you could just jiu jitsu kick the sh*t out of his eternally happy grin.
Welcome to the new dimension of holidays with kids. It’s a never-ending rollercoaster of joy and wanting to jump off a bridge.
Plane rides will never be the same
Before: Okay – somebody tell me who quoted this? “It’s not the destination, but the journey that counts.” Mate, get f**ked. You were clearly spared from traveling with kids.
Pre-kiddos, you arrive at the airport, beaming with joy and filled to the brim with excitement of the wonderful adventures that await. You eagerly make your way to the departure gate, hugging your loved ones goodbye as you embark on your virgin voyage.
Leisurely strolling down the duty free aisles, you test make-up samples and make your first holiday purchases. When the plane hits cruising altitude, you knock yourself out with free economy class booze, because well, FREE BOOZE!

We just went on a 5 month road trip with our 9 month old baby, and it was a blast. It's easy to be jaded about traveling with kids, but it's really no different to being at home with kids... just more fun. Here's the behind the scenes of our trip, if you'd like to see: http://www.thislifeisbelle....
