Back in February at the LA Times Travel Expo, I met representatives from a tour company called Intrepid Travel.  In an instant, they filled my head with visions of zip-lining through the jungle, rafting over whitewater rapids, trekking through the Himalayas, and all sorts of international adventures, all with my kids.  Intrepid Travel takes you off the beaten path in small groups on journeys tailored to the people in the group.  They have a family style trip that includes children 6 and older, with a group maximum of 14 people in which any adult traveling MUST have a child with him.  Emphasis on family travel and togetherness:  “This is NOT a babysitting service!”  For one flat fee per person, Intrepid takes care of all the details, a service that a busy parent might find very valuable.

Intrepid is running a contest – ending May 31 – that asks the question “How intrepid is your family?”  Take the quiz and enter to win $6,000 toward your family trip of choice, plus a 25% discount off the children’s booking cost.
