There you are, out on your latest adventure, and your stomach is growling. Do you reach for the cooler full of veggies in the backseat of the car, pull off at the next exit to eat at a roadside diner, or check in to a five-star hotel and doll up for a fine meal at a posh restaurant? Take a peek at how your astrological sign influences your eating habits when you're out exploring the world.

ARIES

TAURUS

Ever come back from a family vacation and feel like you need a vacation? You're not alone. Traveling with an infant or toddler can feel like an endurance test rather than a relaxing interlude. The good news: traveling with toddlers doesn't have to be grueling when you incorporate these ten vacation sanity-savers.

Check out kid services at other hotels. Just because you're staying in one hotel doesn't mean that you can't visit another - especially if the other hotel has kids' offerings. Do some Googling or talk to your travel agent to check out competing hotels' programs; for example, in Grand Cayman, we stayed at one resort, but headed to the Ritz-Carlton for their spectacular marine adventure program "Ambassadors of the Environment," designed by Jean-Michel Cousteau. Offerings were divided into little kids' and big kids' categories, and included night snorkeling, expeditions to a breeding ground for endangered blue iguanas, and underwater photography with digital photo editing Read More »from 10 Toddler Vacation Tips

We're facing the return of the sun, the end of school, the start of family vacations and, economy be damned, the perfect time for a little adventure. Here are 25 tips for making it less stressful, more efficient and therefore more relaxing for everyone! -Annie Bacon

1. Check in the online yellow pages if there are any laundromats near your hotel, or call and ask the front desk before your trip. They're incredibly cheap when compared to what most hotels will charge you.

2.

Family trips can be a blast, but nothing ruins a vacation faster than a sick child. Whether you're visiting Mayan ruins or checking out Times Square, you've got to plan ahead-with some creativity!

The overuse of antibacterial products may be weakening our immune systems and giving rise to supergerms and bacteria that are resistant to control.
