Smart Travel Tips for Family Vacations
(StatePoint) The best way to get your kids to stop asking “are we there yet?” is to never have them ask in the first place!
With some smart planning you can enjoy your next family vacation from start to finish -- including your travel time getting to and from your destination.
Packing
A fun and easy vacation starts with smart packing. The key is not to pack too much so your family isn’t hefting heavy luggage from place to place.
It’s all about sticking to essentials when selecting clothing, beauty products, guidebooks and electronic devices. Take neutrally-colored clothes that you can mix and match, and don’t bring too many pairs of shoes. If your vacation isn’t very long, only take two pairs per family member: one to pack and one to wear. Rely on hotel toiletries or take multi-use products, like sunscreens that combine with moisturizers, or shampoo and conditioner combos.
Don't bring every guidebook you have! Take only one and use the Internet to supplement it on your tablet, phone or laptop.
Transportation
The old saying “getting there is half the fun” can actually be true if you plan wisely for your family getaway. Traveling by train, for instance, is a great option. With the city-center to city-center convenience of rail travel, you save time and can relax along the way.
This is especially true for a European family vacation, as train travel allows you to discover historic and culturally rich destinations up close through your train window. Rail travel in Europe can also be a great value, as it continues to be a popular destination for vacationing families with the strong U.S. dollar.
Along with discounts and local bonuses, kids ride free on select rail passes -- the Eurail pass product line, the Swiss Travel Pass, the German Rail Pass, the France Rail Pass, and several BritRail Pass products. Plan ahead when looking to get rail passes, train tickets and reservations by contacting a service like Rail Europe. The company combines maps, schedules and fares of over 50 different train companies, creating a one stop shop to easily plan and book European rail travel. Contact Rail Europe to book your travel by visiting www.raileurope.com or by calling 1-800-438-RAIL.
Lodging
Traveling with a family is like traveling with an army. The key to success is logistics. When it comes to hotel rooms, make sure to check ahead so rooms are equipped with what you need.
Don’t be shy about asking for mini-fridges, cribs, high chairs or extra roll-away beds. And when you are checking in, ask if your hotel has any extra amenities for kids -- such as games, coloring books or rubber ducks for bath time.
And check in advance to ensure sleeping configurations work for your family, paying attention to such details as separate sleeping areas or alcoves.

Ways to Improve Air Quality
(BPT) - Before you take that next breath, do you know what's in the air in your home? Sure there's oxygen and carbon dioxide - that much you know - but it's the things you don't know about that should concern you.
A quick test of your indoor air quality can unearth the presence of several, unwanted contaminants in your air, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde, allergens like dust mites, as well as mold and other particulates. This is the material you're unknowingly breathing in every day, and continued exposure to it can lead to future health concerns.
So what can you do about the quality of your air? Do you have to just breathe it in and deal with it? Hardly. You can dramatically improve the air quality in your home, and doing so is easier than you thought. Start by implementing these five tips.
* Keep the floors clean. Many of the particulates and allergens found in your home's air are kicked up from the floor as people or pets move about. Diligently cleaning the floors is a good way to minimize this concern. So whether your tool of choice is a vacuum, a mop or a broom, focus on the floors and your family will benefit.
* Build a wall against formaldehyde. If you're like most people, you spend about 90 percent of your time indoors and that choice exposes you to a greater risk of inhaling formaldehyde and getting sick. Most people associate formaldehyde with laboratories and mortuaries but there are actually many sources of the chemical in the average home including glue, particle board, plywood, paper product coatings and other household chemicals. Fortunately, you don't have to suffer this drop in air quality, there are solutions to clean your air and remove formaldehyde. AirRenew with M2Tech uses an innovative patent pending technology to actively clean your home's air. This advanced drywall captures and transforms formaldehyde into inert compounds, and never re-emits them into the air, preserving your air quality. "Not only is it mold-resistant, it actually absorbs volatile organic compounds for up to 75 years," said contractor and home improvement expert Mike Holmes. "This isn't just about doing the basement; this should be the whole house."
* Service the furnace. Is your home's furnace running optimally? If it's not, it could be jeopardizing the quality of your air. Your furnace should be serviced annually by a trained technician to make sure it's running properly. After that, it's up to you to make sure the furnace filter is replaced every month. Set the first day of the month as your day to change your filter and you'll never forget.
* Circulate fresh air. This may not be doable on the coldest days of winter but during the other three seasons, try to have the windows open as much as possible. Even an hour or two of fresh air breezing through your home can dramatically improve your indoor air quality.
* Don't smoke. Among its many other negatives, nicotine use is the leading cause of lung cancer. If you're a smoker, the deterioration of your home's air quality is just one more reason to quit. Start your quit plan today and you'll be breathing easier indoors and out.
Your home is your castle and you should feel safe and comfortable whenever you're there so follow the tips above to improve the air quality in your home. And once you do, take a deep breath, you've earned it.

TGAI Wildlife Workshop
Zoologist Betsy Leppo of the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program will lead a free workshop 6:30pm Friday, April 15 at Totts Gap Art Institute sharing information about vernal pools and the creatures who depend on those pools for life. The Minsi Lake area has more vernal pools than anywhere else in Pennsylvania. It is dotted with pools where frogs and salamanders meet and mate. Ms. Leppo will talk about the wildlife you might see in your backyard and how you might help keep salamander habitat healthy. An optional walk will be held afterward (7:30-8:30 p.m.) for those who want to visit a nearby vernal pool to see if we can spot salamanders or frogs. If you plan to join the walk, wear rubber boots or shoes that can get wet and muddy and bring a flashlight. Pre-registration is requested, but not required. Call The Nature Conservancy at 570-643-7922, ext. 320, or email elott@tnc.org.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com
I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
