Hi, I'm new around here. I have a year experience as a psych nurse supervisor, and am currently working as a m/s tele float nurse. Once I have my year in, next spring, I really want to travel. I have so many questions, but most of all, I want to know if anyone travels with family? I have hubby, 2 tween girls and 2 dogs to tow along. They all want to do this, but is it really possible? We were thinking about home-schooling and giving them a real education by seeing the world (US anyhow), or beaching it over the summer and finding a good area to extend at during a school term. I like the first idea better. Hubby is disabled, so he could do that. Any families out there on the road? Could this work?

I am traveling right now in Hawaii with my Husband and two girls 5 & 3. The main thing is just getting your agency to work with you as far as a two bedroom. I am sure your kids will have a blast exploring new things and seeing the world. You can always enroll them wherever you go or just homeschool. I've even thought about doing longer assigments (26weeks) just to enroll the kids in school, but homeschool works fine as well.

Good luck

Make sure you know what you are getting into with homeschooling. I homeschooled my kids and absolutely loved it...BUT I was a SAHM with no other commitments than hubby and kids.

I spent 80% of my waking hours doing something related to homeschool and only about 3-4 hrs per day in actual instruction. When I started back to school I had to send them to the public school because there wasn't enough time in the day to do both.

Is your hubby able/willing to teach the kids? If so, I'm sure your family can make it work. Good luck!
