Are We Nearly There?: The Complete Guide to Travelling with Babies, Toddlers and Children 
Samantha Gore-Lyons
Although its title brings to mind nauseous car rides, travel sickness and bickering on the back seat, this practical guide to travelling with babies, toddlers and children is so charmingly written that any non-parent readers will envy those able to share their travels with kids. Samantha Gore-Lyons tells of her own childhood dreams of "journeying to the four corners of the world", of her first exhausting holiday abroad with her new -born son, of the joys of sharing "experience through innocent, wide eyes". Despite her memories of being arrested and deported in Moscow while seven weeks pregnant, Gore-Lyons' passion for travel could not be quenched. Rather than live the homely, stable life chosen by most parents, she vowed to "learn how to travel all over again", noting down every situation she encountered and researching any that she did not. The resulting book, Are We Nearly There, is likely to inspire countless others to follow in her--and her child's--footsteps.
