It wasn&#8217;t until that I traveled with a colicky infant who is now a busy toddler that I really understood the exhaustion and the reward of travel. While delays and travel horrors are certainly frustrating and mind-numbing as a traveler &#8211; navigating these waters with a baby in tow adds a whole new level to the challenge&#8230;and I&#8217;m always up for a challenge! So here&#8217;s to traveling with a tot and, hopefully, never being &#8220;that person with a kid&#8221; on the flight!<\/p>\n<h1><em>Rachel<\/em><\/h1>\n<p>Rachel is based in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina and her career as a consultant brings her to many destinations in the U.S. On the road, she loves having a good meal or a cocktail at a new hot spot. She is currently stashing her points for international travel with friends. Rachel dreams about the perfect vacation where she can indulge in a decadent meal, visit the historic sites like a local, and enjoy a nice long run on the beach.<\/p>\n<h1><em>John: Two Guys Travel<\/em><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>A Note About Comments:<\/em>\u00a0I encourage readers to post on the blog.
