Getting away means you need to GO away. With your kids

Now that travel is a thing again, we’re definitely using that magic monthly childcare stipend to fund a family trip to somewhere… away. But getting away means you need to GO away. With your kids. Stress-sweating parents submit their questions.

Where does the oilam get the best baseball caps for incognito traveling? We have a trip to Europe planned (attn tuition committee: the shver is paying) and I hear they’re not so into frum Yidden over there.

Let’s paint a picture. There you go, a beautiful family of let’s say six children, all in coordinating outfits, down to the baby sitting pretty in her Yoyo and the toddler and preschooler in your City Mini double. You’re toting a hat box, a sheitel box, and a navy cowhide tefillin bag.

You’re absolutely right, a cap will immediately throw people off the scent. Best to wear the one they gave out at Ecore, with the disclaimer that we’re not responsible for what happens if the tuition committee sees you in it.

As an Amex Platinum member, a Capital One Venture X Rewards member, and a Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard holder, I get lounge access when I travel. I don’t have a question, I just wanted to let everyone know.

Cool cool cool. You sound like a fun person to be around. We have a question for you though: Do you realize you’re paying over $1,500 a year in annual fees for that free soda and bragging rights?
