This will be my last post at this address! My new website www.mylittletravelbug.com is finally on-line and I have moved my blog to be included on the site! 

You may have noticed that my blog posts fell off the map for the month of May.  I decided to spend my spare time (as if I have any), working on my website content and associated projects, so….here we go!

The website is a ‘one stop resource for traveling with children’.  It will be unique in that it will also have a travel health focus for parents planning trips abroad.  As a pharmacist, who enjoys international travel, this has always been an area of focus for me.  I’ve noticed that when friends are traveling, I often get phone calls or emails, with health related questions from them.  I’ve also made many trips to the pharmacy in other countries and recognize that if I didn’t know what to ask for, it would be difficult to get the care that you or your children need.  Over the next few months, I will be adding more ‘Country Health Profiles’ to the site.  The profile is intended to be used in 2 ways.  First, as a reference when deciding where to take your family by outlining what are the disease risks in the country and whether there may be prevention methods available.  Secondly, I plan to overview common childhood ailments that may happen while abroad and provide families with names of products that may be available to help.  It is not intended to replace medical attention while traveling, but to aid in communicating with a health professional and therefore provide some comfort to worried parents! I’d love to hear from some parents to let me know if you will use this service while traveling!  Is there any other travel health information you would like to see included?

I look forward to your visits at www.mylittletravelbug.com!
