Fun and Functional Luggage for Kids
Traveling can be stressful these days. It’s often a nightmare getting through an airport. And then when you are finally at your destination and it seems everyone in the world has the same luggage as you – black with no personality or else everyone has attached a ribbon to the handle and they still all look alike – and you’re patiently (or impatiently) waiting for the luggage carousel to deposit your bags, the night mare is almost over.
Why not make traveling a little more fun, at least for the kids? How, you might wonder, can that be achieved? The answer might be their own luggage that adds a bit of whimsy and enjoyment to traveling, whether it is across the country or just for a weekend at grandma’s house. There are a lot of fun luggage out there that might take the edge off for little travelers. These have something special, besides cuteness. Some either light up or make noise. Or both.
This is the year Star Wars makes a comeback and the new R2-D2 rolling luggage is a fun way to bring the little droid into your household. For ages 3 and up, this rolling luggage has flashing lights and if you listen carefully you will hear the little guy making his familiar little beeps. Hands down this is the most unusual piece of luggage I have ever seen.
Young Cars fans will enjoy the Lightning McQueen rolling luggage. Besides resembling the red sports car, this bag comes with its own sound effects. Vrooooooom.
If your child is into the Disney Junior series Miles from Tomorrowland, the Miles rolling luggage looks like his spaceship and even lights up.
The rolling series of bags from Ecozoo lets your child bring a favorite animal along. The choices are a frog, monkey, puppy, panda, and pig.
TrendyKid makes Travel Buddies, fun animal shaped cases that any kid will enjoy rolling around. How about Popo Parrot or Percy Penguin?
These are just a few of the fun bags for kids. There are always cute bags with images of your child’s favorite characters. Whatever you choose, at least you’ll be able to find it in a stack of boring black bags. And, just think how much more fun it is for everyone when kids are enjoying the trip.

2015 Special Olympics World Games Announce Host Town Delegations

Today residents and leaders from more than 100 communities in Southern California learned if they would be saying Bonjour!, ¡Hola!, ! مرحباً , 您好!, Привет! or Hello!beginning July 21 when they host 7,000 athletes and 3,000 coaches in the days prior to start of the 2015 Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles. Delegates from as many as 170 Special Olympics Programs from around the world will spend three days and nights in communities stretching from San Luis Obispo to San Diego as part of the Host Town program – enjoying a warm welcome to the U.S. before moving into the Athlete Villages at USC and UCLA on July 24. Additional communities and delegations will be announced in the coming weeks, including the Host Town for Special Olympics Team USA.
Today’s Host Town pairing announcement follows the successful Head of Delegation Conference that opened with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti greeting the attendees with “welcome to your second home.” The four-day conference held January 21-25, 2015, brought together key members of national and international Special Olympics Programs to learn about World Games venues, operations and services. The Opening Ceremony of the World Games, now less than five months away, will be held at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on July 25 and televised to a worldwide audience by ESPN.
The Host Town program has been an important element of Special Olympics World Games since 1995. The experience has left a lasting impression on the local communities in Ireland, Japan, China, Greece, South Korea and the United States, all of which have previously organized Host Town programs as part of the Special Olympics World Games. Communities are evaluated on the availability of lodging accommodations, sports practice facilities and recreation/entertainment offerings for the athletes, among other criteria. Each Host Town committee is also responsible for planning activities for the athletes to introduce them to the community and help spread the word about the World Games.
“The Host Town program gives each community an opportunity to showcase to the world what makes them special, but more importantly to provide citizens with a better understanding of intellectual disabilities that will lead to acceptance and inclusion for all,” said Patrick McClenahan, President and CEO of LA2015. “Long after the World Games are over, the memories of those three days spent at Host Town will leave a lasting legacy for Special Olympics Southern California and everyone who was touched by our athletes. We are thankful to all participating Host Towns and their tireless volunteers for opening their doors – and their hearts – to our athletes and coaches.”
