Welcome to Jet Set Mom! Traveling with kids is not easy -- especially when you are alone. Here's some highlights of my trips around the U.S. and the world (and some closer to home) with my children Alex and Serene.

Arafat's Tomb in Palestine
Built next to the compound where he had his headquarters for many years, this mausoleum contains the tomb of Yasser Arafat, a mosque and a garden surrounded by water. An honor guard stands at his tomb, the water symbolizes a journey since it was his desire to be buried in Jerusalem. A laser beam points to Jerusalem from the top of the minaret.
