Frommer (the travel guide king) has released a new guidebook called, “Where to Stop & Where to Go: A Guide to Traveling with Overactive Bladder in the United States”. It was written for people with a specific medical condition (OAB), but I think it will be extraordinarily useful for anyone that travels with kids.

Back when I was young single and stupid, I had certain rules on my road trips. One of them was, “Only one bathroom break every 300 miles.” That rule doesn’t work so well now that I have a family. In fact, I have had to shorten the mileage rule quite a bit. It’s now down to about 50 miles. (Which also happens to be close to the total limit on road trips by car as well.)
