Ever since reading Babble's foolproof guide to Tuscany with the kids, I've been travel sick. I'm just dying to hop on a plane, uncork a bottle of Robitussin and suddenly find myself somewhere exotic, like Tumecula. (Oh please, you try coping with a 15-hour plane ride and a 1-year-old.)
But because stay-at-home parenting doesn't come with vacation days, I have to settle for the next best thing: bloggers.
There are some fantastic parents out there blogging without borders and making me daydream about China, Italy, Sweden and more.
First up, there's my brother. He lives in Beijing with his 16-year-old daughter and will probably be really pissed that I gave out his blog. But again, he's in China, writes some fantastic, insightful posts and is frequently blocked from various sites, so he'll never know. (But just to be safe ... down with Mao!)
I think I've already written about Adventure Dad, but just in case -- check him out.
Jennifer at Italian Trivia offers a great perspective on life in Northern Italy -- complete with evil sneak thieves. A must-read.
Leslie at Squid in India posts some perfect photos of her adventures in Bangalore. Mangos, mmmm.
And of course, representing the UK, Moobs. Just awesome.
