Free Single Parent Travel Seminars in MD & DC!

April 5 & 6, 2003-Brenda Elwell, author of The Single Parent Travel Handbook and nation's leading expert on single parent travel, will be providing single parents a free seminar on traveling. Why is single parent travel different than traditional family travel? "By definition, the single parent is a working parent," says author Brenda Elwell. "Traditional double parent vacations are structured to get rid of the kids so the parents can have couple time, but the single parent always winds up as the odd man out stuck somewhere in the space between family couple and swinging single."

• GlobalBrenda will explain how single parents can plan trips that are fun, exciting, and within their budget; discuss the special documentation required when traveling out of the country and recommend destinations for non-traditional families.
• GlobalBrenda will personally autograph your copy of The Single Parent Travel Handbook. (The book can be purchased at each seminar.)
• Attendees will be entered to win a single parent trip to Beaches Boscobel in Ochos Ricos, Jamaica.
