How to get your teen excited about this year's family road trip

Have a teenage driver in your household? If so, make this the year you get your son or daughter excited about what has always been a dreaded event -- the family road trip. Offer him or her the opportunity to practice driving during the trip.

Would your kids know what to do in the event of a road trip emergency?

When you set out on a family road trip, running into trouble is the last thing on your mind. Accidents can happen, however, so it's important that you have an emergency plan in place before you leave the driveway.

Don't let motion sickness ruin your vacation

There are four words no parent or sibling wants to hear on a road trip? "Mom, I feel sick."

Don't let hand pain derail fall fun

(ARA) - Autumn's approach means plenty of time outdoors prepping your landscape for winter's impending arrival, or partaking in seasonal fun like pumpkin carving or cookie baking.

The key to having a great family road trip

Want to make 2010 the year of your most memorable family road trip ever? If so, instead of planning the destination and activities yourself, turn a little bit of control over to your children. Getting kids involved in the planning process is a great way to get them excited about a trip.

Finding a job in the current economic climate can be a struggle even for the most qualified candidates. This is especially true in the information technology sector, where increasing numbers of graduates are flooding the marketplace. Often, a single networking job can have dozens of applicants or more.

Seating safety for kids on a road trip

Is your baby in a rear-facing car seat? Is your toddler in a forward-facing seat with a full harness? Does your 4- to- 8 year old ride in a booster seat, and do all of your kids sit in the back seat? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, you may be putting your child's safety at risk.

Some simple rules to follow on your next road trip

Summer vacation has finally arrived for millions of families, and if you're planning an out-of-town trip to visit relatives or see another part of the country, you'll likely be hitting the road instead of flying.

Don't let fall asthma triggers foil your child's fun

(ARA) - Fall means back-to-school, cooler weather - and an increase in asthma attacks.

Fed failure

The federal government sued the state of Arizona over its controversial immigration law, arguing that enforcing immigration laws is a federal responsibility.

The U.S. Department of Defense should certainly be embarrassed by Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s career-ending derisive remarks about the administration in a controversial Rolling Stone story.

Cuba's pawns

Cuba’s promise to free 52 political prisoners in the coming weeks and months should be greeted, without qualification, as a positive development. Opening the cell doors for prisoners of conscience in Cuba’s wretched jails is, and must remain, a cardinal objective of U.S. policy toward that country and of everyone who wishes freedom for its people. Cuba’s Catholic Church deserves credit for negotiating the release. Church leaders must continue to champion political prisoners and their families, which they’ve been reluctant to do in the past.

Take the path less traveled with these four family destinations

Disney World is great, but it might be a little overboard if your family goes there every year. Finding a new vacation that suits your whole family can be tough, but it's not impossible.

Stick to your good habits - even on a road trip

Summer is the time of year when a lot of people take time off from work to go on a road trip. But just because you are varying your routine doesn't mean you should throw all your good habits out the window. You can still eat well, exercise and get plenty of sleep while on the road. The trick is to make the commitment ahead of time and stick with your plan.

Tips to save money while back-to-school shopping

Your children will soon be heading back to school, which means you have shopping to do. Your younger children will need notebooks, pencils, clothes, shoes and all those other things that teachers like to throw on school supply lists. But if you have college-aged kids, they're also going to need textbooks, computers and software before school starts.

If you're planning to head out of town on a road trip this summer, you'll have to do more than just find someone to watch the house and bring in the mail. Here are five things you should do well in advance of your departure date to make sure your trip goes off without a hitch.

Going back to college? Chase your passion, not a paycheck

(ARA) - Given current economic conditions, it's no surprise that many people are considering going back to college either to pursue a more advanced degree in their field or to change fields altogether.

Stay alert: Avoid fatigue while driving

There's a good chance you've gotten behind the wheel at a time when you haven't exactly felt the most alert. But did you know that each year, fatigue is reported as the principal cause of up to 100,000 police-reported accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?

Planning a road trip? What not to leave at home

If you're planning to travel this summer, you may want to opt for a road trip - domestic airfares between June and September will be 24 percent higher than they were in 2009, according to the fare-tracking website Bing Travel.
