Do you know the nice looking family in the photo above? If you do, please tell us how to contact them, because there are a few thousand people who want to reunite them with their lost camera. If the internet can be trusted (of course it can), they lost the camera while on a recent vacation in Maui, and some random person found it and looked at the photos on the memory card. He or she then decided to share one of the photos on the social media site Reddit in the hopes that the vast community of Redditors can make the magic happen once again and locate the owners.

Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific has a great reputation for a few reasons: an amazing Studio CX in-flight entertainment system, flight attendants who keep their cool even on a 15-hour direct flight from JFK to HKG, and free in-flight all-you-can-eat ramen noodles (as recently sampled by us). But little did we know that they'll also give you a free diaper kit if you're traveling with an infant.

Where: Oaxaca, Germany

After what has no doubt been a lengthy summer of Travel Chanel specials on tropical escapes and kid-friendly vacations, Lonely Planet has released their own top ten list: Top 10 Cities to visit with children.

The list flaunts the qualities of some usual suspects, like Rome and London, but it actually surprises by extolling the charms of some cities we wouldn't have considered for a family vacation. For instance, number 8 above Rome and Sydney is Singapore. Everyone knows that it's a very clean place, but that comes with gum chewing being against the law.

Travel Sans Tots=2, Tyke Travel=0

This week travel and children went head to head, and it looks like Jr. may be sitting out the next vacay.

The New York Times ran a piece on what a pain in the ass it is to get passports for children these days. The author was trying to take her babushkas to Russia and the U.S. State Dept. slammed her with birth certificate hell.

Travelwire stressed the need for requesting "family suites"-some which include a separate master bedroom for mom and dad to prevent instant familial meltdown.

Hm, somehow we doubt that Julia Robert's oddly named twosome has to deal with these aggravations when being repeatedly schlepped between Taos and Gramercy Park. When are celeb perks gonna trickle down to lowly travlers like us. Nah, we're not jealous much or anything.
