Oh man, I feel so left out : ) We are an Anglo family committed to bi-lingualism. All my family lives in The US. I am feverishly looking for an opportunity to immerse my family for a month in a Spanish speaking culture next summer 2011.

I’ve been following with great interest the Spanglish baby blog of the family from Los Angeles Ca in San Miguel de Allende and hope to emulate a stay like that.

Any leads or ideas on cities particularly adapted to a US expat family, all Spanish speaking, with 2 young kids (7 & 9). I’m looking for some structured daytime activities, but not a language school. Something more local and something we can do together as a family. Spain, and South & Central America hold great appeal.

This has been a really tough travel genre to crack. Is it heritage travel? adventure travel, volunteer travel? family adventure volunteer travel?? Any ideas?

I loved your post! We took our daughter to visit my husband’s familia in Venezuela when she was just 3 months old. I can’t wait for our return trip this coming Christmas when she is 2 1/2 years old. She gets so excited about everything now, and I can’t wait to see her reaction to all of the new things that she will see when we are there. I will also be stocking up on Spanish books and music while we are there. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Roxanna, I have stumbled upon your blog at a perfect time in my life! First, I must say that I really enjoyed your photos of your family in Peru. I have many similar photos myself, my husband is from Lima and we recently took a trip there with our 2 children. I completely agree with the importance of traveling the world with your children, bi-cultural or not. It is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. My husband’s family has recently offered us a good job there so we are considering moving to Lima. I know the positives the experience would bring our family but I am also aware of some negatives. So I am wondering, have you considered living there again with your children? I would love to have another mother’s outlook on this difficult decision. Gracias!

Fantástico! I see it’s an older post but it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. I’m going to Puerto Rico with my two children (3 and 1 1/2) and I must confess that every time we go I dread the whole ordeal. But afterwards (ok, not maybe right away) I’m so happy that I get to visit home. We live in Arizona so it’s a whole day of traveling. What I detest the most is the airport/flying, especially when you have to take food for your kids (my youngest is the pickiest eater and still eats some baby food) Andar como burro de carga with strollers, carseats, food, diapers, extra clothes, toys and what not. But you know what? It’s all worth it! All my family is back home. Their abuelos, I have 3 sisters, 3 nephews and 1 niece and they’re all around the same age. I want my children to know their titís and tios, sus abuelitos. I want my nephews and niece to feel we are their family not some visitors that come from time to time. We are very lucky that we have the finances to visit when others can’t. So thank you again! I better get packing, we leave in a week!;)

Great post! My bilingual kids are all grown up now and away from home, but I’m glad we were able to visit Mexico as a family on several occasions. I’m also very proud that they both draw upon their Spanish-language abilities and their cultural heritage in some aspect of their professional lives, as I do. Your children are beautiful, BTW.

LOL! Before, I’d rather disbelieved my husband was actually sleeping right through the baby screaming, or actually didn’t notice the floor could have used a sweeping. Now, I understand many things. (A dirty floor doesn’t necessarily get your attention, if you’re used to dirt floors!) I like what you say: “I choose not to concentrate on those things”. I will indeed try to keep a positive attitude, especially for the kids! It will all be worth it!
