@Trey

My pleasure. Pizza is something we can all relate to…

@Giovanna Garcia & @Mailylah

Thanks.

I love the idea of slower travel. Better for integration. It’s also great that your family has under-taken such a great journey. It’s such a unique extended family trip. Great to read about your adventures.

Lots of good ideas here! I loved Sima’s picture so much that I want to add that location to our open ended world tour.

We have learned so much in our 3 years of world traveling as a family, but I think the most important tip that I can give is to go slow. It is much more enriching, greener and so much cheaper too!

We actually travel the world as a family and live large on little for soooo much less than living at home. We also love picnics and with a kid in tow, we MUST have healthy food on hand at all times. Almonds and walnuts are easy to find in most places and something we always have with us as well as a book!

Happy Travels!

Great list, and thanks for including my quote in there!

I love how almost all of the eating tips are about finding great pizza. I love me some pizza!

Now how the heck did you manage to weave me into the post. That must have taken a fair amount of skill. Honestly I am very thankful that you did include me and just so you know, I would have continued to visit your blog even if you had missed my out.

@Yen

Temples sound great. I love to check out the smaller town or cities. Gives a different feel for a country or state.

@Tabitha

Thanks for the tips. Those monuments get a lots of visitors everyday. I’ll definitely use that getting their early strategy next time I’m in Washington D.C.

Great list Gennaro! I always bring food with me, no matter where I’m going. I never know when I’m going to get stuck somewhere without food. Also, something I’m learning as I revisit downtown DC, is that apparently the early bird gets the worm. I’ve been to several monuments in the area right when they opened at 8:30 and had the whole place to myself – it was great!!

A nice group of travel tips. I suggest that those coming to Japan visit the smaller towns. There are lots of beautiful temples with zen-type gardens.

@Katie

No problem. Thanks for the great tips

@Steph

Sounds like you have a grip on safety. I like the taxi idea. I know it costs a bit, but if you’re really unsure and alone…it’s worth it.

@Joanna Young

Thanks for the great idea and your strong content

@Alik

Have a great trip. Amazing city. If you need any tips, drop me an e-mail.
